Notre Dame plays its second consecutive home game under the lights on Saturday as the Fighting Irish (6-1) host the North Carolina Tar Heels (4-3). Notre Dame won last year’s game on the road by 31-17 with a solid defensive effort against a very explosive offense. They will travel back to North Carolina next season to continue the series, which the Irish lead by a healthy 19-2 margin. NBC will provide national television coverage beginning at 7:30 PM Eastern time.
Head Coach Mack Brown leads the Tar Heels. He came out of retirement in 2019 to rejoin the school where he achieved early success before moving to Texas.
