To close out their second month of action on the Notre Dame football schedule, the Irish will host the North Carolina Tar Heels on October 30 . Brian Kelly’s unit looks to continue its domination in a series that dates back to 1949. While this contest marks only their sixth meeting in the past two decades, the Irish hold a commanding 19-2 lead in the series and have yet to lose in the 12 previous matchups at Notre Dame.
Tar Heels head coach Mack Brown is in the third year of his second tenure at the school, having compiled a 15-10 mark during his first two seasons back at the helm.
