UNC Football Opponent Snapshot: Notre Dame

Posted Aug 3, 2021
Before the Tar Heels arrive in South Bend, Notre Dame has some work to do. Fourteen players from last year’s team that lost in the CFP semifinals were either drafted or signed free agent deals with NFL teams. Notre Dame ranks No. 124 out of 127 FBS teams that played last season in returning production. So, coach Brian Kelly’s task is considerable. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
