Three things I want to see when Notre Dame plays North Carolina

As Notre Dame prepares to face off against North Carolina, here are three things the reporter would like to see during the game:

1. An offensive line awakening: The Notre Dame running game has been under scrutiny throughout the season, but the reporter believes the quickest way to address the issue is for the offensive line to unite and dominate the UNC defensive line. The reporter wants to witness a physical and brutal effort from the offensive line that will open up running lanes for the team.

2. A willingness to take risks: The reporter praises Notre Dame's head coach Marcus Freeman for his willingness to push the envelope with trick plays and fourth-down attempts. The reporter believes that this mindset, honed by Freeman, enables the Irish to go all out against formidable opponents like North Carolina. The reporter looks forward to seeing the team take bold risks and push the limits.

3. More playing time for Jonaz Walton: The reporter highlights the growth of freshman running back Jonaz Walton, whose seven carries for 61 yards against Purdue showcase his potential. The reporter hopes to see Walton continue to develop and take on a more significant role in the running game, potentially becoming a key contributor to Notre Dame's offense.
