Notre Dame’s win over North Carolina was a study in extremes on defense. The Irish allowed only 244 yards of total offense, but 221 of those yards came on eight plays.
“They had only 49 plays, so the other 41 plays went for 23 yards,” coach Charlie Weis said. “That’s definitely some really good plays and some really bad plays.”
Weis also had hoped for more takeaways. “We had no turnovers on defense. We always shoot to get at least three,” he said.
Weis said there is no danger of the Irish looking ahead to their matchup with USC. “We lose to Air Force, Army, think about how much less importance that game will have,” he said.
