ND vs UNC Highlights 2022

UNC has a future Heisman QB in Drake Maye, but in this game he was out played by Drew Pyne who passed for 3 TD/s and you could see why he was so highly recruited including by Alabama.

Tommy Rees had an outstanding game plan which incorporated 3 RB’s who absolutely pounded NC. I’ve got to tell you the OL was terrific especially with the double team blocks.

We are really going to miss Michael Mayer next year — he had a monster game. The real beast was RB Audric Estime 134 yards and 2 TD’s.

The defense was smothering Maye and threw him off his game all game.

I’m sure the entire ND football team got the riot act read to them — including the coaches. Whether that works or not we will find out soon. ND goes into a bye week which is the perfect opportunity to replace 2 OL – guards. Move Jarrett back to Center.

Anyhow, the whole play book should be open tomorrow. Go uptempo for that gives no time for Pyne to overthink things. Run the ball go to the TE’s often just keep moving the chains and just overwhelm NC on both sides of the ball.

I would blitz their frosh QB simple and give him a pounding from the opening bell.

Get rid of that 3 man front and go to four on the DL. Time for ND’s LB’s to save their jobs.

Drake Maye NC’s QB is a redshirt freshman, but is quite the gunslinger. NC can get yards and points if you don’t take them out early — think TKO first round.

ND vs UNC Highlights 2021

One of the most enjoyable games to watch for fans, but way too exasperating for ND fans. Our defense was awful and did not adjust to anything.

Kyle Hamilton would have made a difference, but we made Sam Howell look like the greatest QB ever – even Foskey could not bring him down. Both ND and NC went over 500 yards of offense.

Jack Coan had his best game 16/24 for 213 yds and 1 TD. He also ran 26 yds for a TD. A lot of Freshmen played and Lorenzo Styles and Logan Diggs are going to be stars.

But this game was a signature game for Kyren Williams who ran for 199 yds including a 91 yd TD that was amazing and drove a stake into NC. Go watch the replay.

Our defense was just dreadful and no changes were made to adjust to what NC and Howell were doing. ND couldn’t tackle him or anyone else. The NC rushing game ran right thru that worthless 3 man DL that Freeman insists on using.

I shudder to think what Navy will do against that.

We’re 7-1 with 4 to go. Rewatch this game.

Notre Dame vs North Carolina Predictions

Another hard game after a great win over USC – let’s hope we don’t have a down effect. You can’t against this 4-3 NC team. They do not have a very good Defense, but they more than make up for it in their high powered Offense. QB Sam Howell is as good as it gets in a dual threat QB – the kid can pass and really run.

Their Offense is averaging 35+ points a game so when ND gets into the red zone they have to score TD’s. Hopefully we will see the same Jack Coan and more of Tyler Buchner since NC gives up a lot of rush yardage. You simply cannot relax on this team and you have to shut down their slot receiver Josh Downs.

I thought it was interesting that Brian Kelly said earlier this week that he wanted to see more on defense of Jordan Bothelo and he was going to talk to the defensive coaches about that – it’s about time.

ND has to score at least 40 to win.
