Aidan Thomas | Sunday, November 29, 2020

Somewhat overlooked in the aftermath of the euphoria that was Notre Dame’s 47-40 double-overtime victory over Clemson was the defensive struggles that seemed to plague the Irish, particularly in the deep passing game.

UNC head coach Mack Brown ready for top-25 matchup

Jimmy Ward | Friday, November 27, 2020

Staff Predictions 2020: North Carolina Tar Heels

Observer Sports Staff | Friday, November 27, 2020

Hayden Adams — Sports Writer Painful flashback time: Last time Notre Dame had a non-coronavirus-induced bye week around exam time, they came out flat as could be and got embarrassed on the road at Michigan.

Head-to-Head 2020: North Carolina Tar Heels
