Which kicker will help his team win?
Although Walker made a 42-yarder, Casey Barth had three important field goals for the Heels that kept them in it.
Can the Irish coverage teams stop the Carolina return game?
A good job overall, although Tate’s injury lowered the risk for the Irish.
Will Notre Dame get through another contest without a turnover?
No, no, no, no, no.
Can the Irish force a mediocre Tar Heel offense to score all their points?
The gift touchdown to Sturdivant and the strip/recovery by Mullins in plus territory spelled doom for Notre Dame.
I hate it when I’m right. In the preview for this game, I said, “The Tar Heels are a team that does not look impressive on paper, but they have fewer weaknesses than the Irish and can score by several different means.
"In a tight ballgame where a special teams play, turnover or field goal could decide the outcome, the odds are that North Carolina will produce what is needed.”
That’s pretty much the story of this game, and Irish fans are left to stew for two weeks until the next one.
Despite falling to 4-2, the season is far from over. Notre Dame will continue to improve, and every remaining game is quite winnable except the last one in Los Angeles.
First and foremost, this team must break through on the road against lowly Washington. Nothing less than a solid performance in all phases of the game should be expected.
