Game Day Central: #11 Notre Dame vs. North Carolina

All the pregame analysis of Notre Dame and North Carolina that you need to get ready for the game!

The 11th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6-1) take on the North Carolina Tar Heels (4-3) tonight in a must-win matchup for both teams. Notre Dame is looking to continue a New Year's Six Bowl push, and the Irish still have a very outside shot at the College Football Playoff. North Carolina needs to pull off the upset if it is going to salvage its season, which began with the Tar Heels ranked in the Top 10.

Irish Breakdown spent all week breaking down the game, and here's everything you need to be ready for the game.
