Notre Dame-North Carolina Information

As you are probably well aware, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the North Carolina Tar Heels are set to play this Saturday in Chapel Hill. As the article about the game at UND.com says, the game is the 67th sellout of the past 74 Irish road games, meaning that if you want tickets, you’re going to have to go somewhere other than the box office on game day. We have a few ideas…. But we digress. Here are a few of the most interesting facts about the game, courtesy of UND.com.

  • Notre Dame is 16-1-0 all-time versus North Carolina
  • The Irish have not played in the state of North Carolina since the Gerald Ford administration
  • North Carolina has just six sacks so far this year
  • Brady Quinn threw for 346 yards against the Tar Heels in 2006
  • Notre Dame dominates the ACC more completely than any other major football conference, having a winning percentage of .717 all-time against the ACC.
  • George Gipp never played against North Carolina
