Disrupting Periods of Futility for UNC Posted Oct 13, 2014 North Carolina built a 14-0 lead over No. 5 Notre Dame with equal parts offense and defense. Less than 14 minutes later, the Fighting Irish had taken its first lead at 21-14. Such scoring trends during this four-game losing streak have forced UNC to play from behind. UNC’s defense delivered the fast start that has eluded this program during the first half of the season. (Inside Carolina)
