Notre Dame is back in action tonight with another night game under the lights of Notre Dame Stadium. The Irish host one of the most underachieving teams in the county – North Carolina for the first time since 2014. The Tar Heels entered the season ranked in the top 10 – thus the night – but have stumbled to a 4-3 mark on the season. A win for them could salvage their 2021 season, but the Irish appear to be just starting to play their best football. Get ready for tonight’s tilt with this week’s hype video from the folks at Watch ND.

Make no mistake, win or lose, this is a garbage ND team.
The D is utterly pathetic under Vangorder 2.0!
This isn’t close to a top 10 team right now. The O is like watching paint dry. The D is a sieve. STs are awful. The coaching stinks!
Other than that, they’re great!
This ND team doesn’t belong in the PO conversation. USC and UNC are both horrible. Like last week, the opposition O has stopped itself more than the ND D stopping them. A great O would score 40 on these guys!
Given how the ND D struggles against the run, Navy might be a problem.
