After finally entering the win column last week in a victory over Cal the Notre Dame Fighting Irish now face the North Carolina Tar Heels in a pivotal road matchup. The Irish will try and notch their first road victory of 2022 against a school they’ve defeated in 20 of their 22 previous matchups. In last season’s 44-34 victory at Notre Dame, the two schools combined for close to 1,100 yards of offense.
North Carolina enters this game with a 3-0 mark and has had two weeks to prepare for the Irish. As productive as the Tar Heel offense has been against lesser opponents, their defense has had major issues keeping teams off the scoreboard.
