Notre Dame vs. North Carolina: Keys To An Irish Win

Posted Oct 10, 2008
Butch Davis has the Tar Heels pointed in the right direction, fielding a talented, albeit young, team.

Against such an opportunistic team, Notre Dame must protect the football and play well on special teams. (Bleacher Report)
