Voice of the Tar Heels Jones Angell joins Aaron to preview Saturday’s UNC football game against no. 3 Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are favored by three touchdowns, but Jones points out that Carolina very nearly came away with an upset the last time they played a team this good (though that was seven years ago) – and Chapel Hill’s expecting rain on Saturday, which could have an impact on game play. Whether that benefits or hurts the Heels, though, remains to be seen.
