Basically a punt with no return.

Pretty much a punt but we are playing very soft on offense. Really disappointed bc we're obviously looking ahead to USC. Good thing defense is stepping up

Dumb play calling.

Play calling awful. Just run the ball or short pass to the boundary.

We are playing pretty poorly. Fortunate that UNC isn't very good.

Please someone else on punt returns.

We still have trouble blocking when it's an obvious running situation.

I have never seen a sloppier team across the board. Offense is soft, defense is getting bailed out and ST is ugh.

North Carolina is more banged up than we were in 15'. Dropping like flies.

Most of ND's break away runs this year have been to the outside. Not too much up the middle. Get to the end zone any way you can.

ND should be CRUSHING these guys.. defensively they are anyways.. just RUN the FOOTBALL...that simple..

Okwara doesn't keep contain. Surratt runs for 16 yards on 3rd down.

Defense has been awful. They're not stepping up, UNC just can't get out of their own way.

****ty unc is in this game until the end now

Our defensive backs stink.
Firefighter8196
How long do you want to ignore this user?
By far our worst game we've played I think. Especially since UNC is awful. How to you give that up on 3rd down

UNC with a 25-yard TD pass.

Notre Dame 14
UNC 7

1:50 left in the 2Q.

Coach C said in power hour that they are likely taught to not look for the ball. Time to change that thought process.

Nothing like playing down to the competition...
smoodiver

This is disappointing. The game could easily be 14-14 now (if not for the fluke fumble by UNC). UNC is missing a ton of players, but we cannot put them away.

Where did all this blitzing come from too!

ND needs to wake up. This UNC team sucks and we are only up 7!

Another ST fail on the kick return.
