Irish have quite a fight coming with UNC

Posted Oct 10, 2008
Notre Dame is 4-1 and there are signs of life in South Bend. But before we trumpet the return of the Irish to the national rankings, they will have to get by Butch Davis’ young North Carolina team Saturday in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels (4-1), who cracked the AP rankings at 23 this week, has just the type of secondary that can challenge Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Carolina already has 12 interceptions.
