Notre Dame vs. UNC: The Formula for a Tar Heel Victory

UNC returns to Kenan Stadium on Saturday facing its biggest challenge of the season. The Tar Heels had two weeks to prepare for No. 3 Notre Dame, a team that enters the matchup 4-0 and has yet to play a game decided by fewer than 17 points. The Irish are scoring 42.3 points per game while allowing just 8.3. Here is the formula for a Tar Heel victory. (Tar Heel Blue)

Patriots quarterback said the condition of his right shoulder hasn't affected his throwing ability, instead highlighting the need to make better decisions.

My crazy Irish adventure: A kid watching no average Joe with legends

When UNC Football welcomes No. 3 Notre Dame to Kenan Stadium on Saturday, I will be thinking about the day in 1975 when I stood behind Paul Hornung and Lindsey Nelson at the top of the old press box as a kid without a ticket or a credential.
