The last time UNC was on national television, the Tar Heels suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a struggling Florida State program.

On Friday, Mack Brown and Carolina will look to rewrite the story when No. 2 Notre Dame comes to Chapel Hill.

The Tar Heels are coming off back-to-back games in which they scored more than 50 points. However, offense will be hard to come by against a Notre Dame defense that ranks 11th in the country in yards per game allowed (304.1).

If the toughest matchup on the field is UNC’s offense vs. Notre Dame’s defense, then the Tar Heels need a strong defensive effort in order to hold an edge in this game. Quarterback Ian Book has been efficient for the Fighting Irish this season (11 touchdowns, one interception), but the strength of their offense lies in in the rushing attack with Kyren Williams (777 yards, 10 touchdowns).

Notre Dame is a 7.5 favorite over UNC at the time of publishing.

Kickoff Time

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. from Chapel Hill.

Hulu TV goes for $45/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $25/month, but includes the fewest channels. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
