CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — It wasn’t 40 points, but it was another destructive quarter nonetheless. And this time, North Carolina’s offense couldn’t overcome it.
The Tar Heels (3-1) were upended by a 24-point second quarter and fell to Notre Dame, 45-32, on Saturday before a sold-out Kenan Stadium crowd.
Carolina held Notre Dame (2-2) to 40 yards in total offense in the first quarter, and the Fighting Irish looked every bit the inept unit that entered the game averaging just 300 yards per game.
