Defensive keys to a UNC football victory vs. Notre Dame

The North Carolina Tar Heels return to their home stadium this Saturday following a difficult Week 3 collapse against Clemson, preparing to host an undefeated Notre Dame squad. Notre Dame boasts a formidable 2026 campaign so far, featuring Heisman contender quarterback CJ Carr alongside targets Micah Gilbert and Jordan Faison, plus running back Aneyas Williams anchoring a deep ground game.

North Carolina's defense will need to disrupt Carr, limit the Fighting Irish rushing attack, and maintain strong pass coverage to pull off an early-season upset in front of a capacity crowd.
