Notre Dame vs North Carolina Predictions – Friday 3:30 PM ET ABC

That old Texas coach Mack Brown has rejuvenated UNC into a prolific offense and they stand at 6-2 losing to Florida State and Virginia. UNC is averaging 43 points a game led by a terrific looking sophomore QB Sam Howell who is ranked 9th in pass efficiency.

The UNC defense on the other hand is simply not that good. They gave up 52 points to Wake Forest and 44 to Virginia.

So the deal for this game is simply to outscore the Tar Heels and that means TD’s on every possession. A couple of holds and ND could jump to a big Lead – even if they do they can’t relax for this Howell kid. He is very good at rallying his team from behind.

Score Prediction: Notre Dame 62 North Carolina 34

In other news, Zeke Correll will start at Center while Josh Lugg fills in for Tommy Kraemer at RG due to appendicitis.

ND also got its 24th commit for the 2021 class – Indiana 3 Star CB JoJo Johnson.
