No. 22 Tar Heels get chance for big-name victory

Posted Oct 11, 2008
UNC's decade-long rebuilding project finally is showing signs of traction, complete with the Tar Heels' first national ranking in seven years. The biggest thing missing right now for coach Butch Davis' club is a win against a big-name opponent. Notre Dame and its storied tradition certainly provides the opportunity, not to mention quite a buzz considering the Fighting Irish are making their first trip to the state in more than three decades.
