'That needle goes anywhere near Wendell's leg, I swear to God, on my mother's grave, I will rip your arms off and beat you to death with them!'

Geeeze, maybe sit this one out.

The definition of fandom. A dedicated #UNC fan with a completely torn ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus stands with crutches in hand and brace on knee, on the rim of the Blue Zone to watch Carolina vs. Notre Dame on Saturday.

Blue zone? More like blue collar.

ESPN College Game Day will be there for N.C. State at Clemson in what is expected to be a top-10 matchup and a HUGE opportunity for the Wolfpack.

We can learn a lot next Saturday...

Is FSU a really good team?

Can UNC rebound in a big way and get back on track?

Is N.C. State really good this year?

Will Clemson have another 'down' year?

Can Duke be decent in the ACC in year one under Elko?

Is Virginia bad bad?

On Saturday, the #UNC 's defense provided little resistance for the Notre Dame offense. It was another letdown for a much maligned unit.

'Our defense has been inconsistent since we've been here.'

My story on #UNC 's complete defensive breakdown vs. Notre Dame.

They knew what was coming and couldn't stop it. Horrible feeling.

#UNC rushed the ball 28 times for 66 yards vs. Notre Dame.

2.4 yards per rush.

Mack's press conference quotes after the big loss to Notre Dame.

It was great opportunity for the program and UNC once again disappointed...

#UNC 's Mack Brown opens up his postgame press conference after the loss to Notre Dame:

'I want to congratulate Notre Dame. They played like a top 10 team tonight... That's the team we expected to see.... The start of the second half was an absolute killer.'

Notre Dame now over 500 yards of offense. Early in the 4th quarter.

#UNC 's Tony Grimes and Noah Taylor just got in a little scuffle on the sideline after Grimes picked up the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Taylor confronted Grimes.

Same team.

#UNC 's defensive line is getting GASHED by Notre Dame's rushing attack. Huge holes, big runs.

The Irish know Carolina can't stop them.

First catch of the season for Antoine Green goes 80-yards for a touchdown.

Tar Heels miss the 2-point attempt.

Notre Dame 38, UNC 20

Quick strike by #UNC . 80 yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Antoine Green.

Maye hit Green right in stride and beat the safety to the spot.
