BIG EAST FOOTBALL PREVIEW: GAME #7 NOTRE DAME

October 9, 2008



Well, the Notre Dame football team is sitting at 4-1 through their first five games and face sudden rising ACC power North Carolina, who is also sitting at 4-1, on the road this weekend.

The Irish have beaten Purdue, Stanford, Michigan and San Diego State, losing to Michigan State while the Tarheels have beaten Rutgers and UConn handily and got past McNeese State and Miami (FL), only falling to Virginia Tech by a field goal.

College Football Odds show the Tarheels as an 8-point home favorite in this game and UNC should be plenty jazzed for this match-up. Butch Davis will likely treat this game as a potential showcase of his program and attempt to put a stamp on the fact that UNC is going to be a force to be reckoned with on the football side of things, too. This one might get away from the Irish...


Prediction:

North Carolina 38
Notre Dame 20
