North Carolina capitalized on four second-half turnovers Saturday afternoon for a program-building, 29-24 win over Notre Dame at Kenan Stadium. On the first play of the third quarter, linebacker Quan Sturdivant returned an interception of Jimmy Clausen 32 yards for a touchdown to cut an eight-point, halftime deficit to 17-16. Aleric Mullins stripped Clausen and recovered at the Notre Dame 42 to set up another touchdown. (Raleigh News & Observer)
