  "account": "On Saturday, October 3, at 12 p.m. ET, the North Carolina Tar Heels will face off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a college football game that will be broadcast on ESPN. The Tar Heels, who currently sit at 2-1, will play against an undefeated Notre Dame team at 4-0. Headed into the matchup, the Tar Heels' defense ranks among the top units in the country, but they faltered late in a 28-20 loss to Clemson earlier this season. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's defense has been a force, allowing an average of just 199.3 yards per game to opponents and 8.3 points per game. The Fighting Irish feature a Heisman Trophy contender in quarterback CJ Carr, a strong running back corps spearheaded by Aeneas Williams, and a formidable receiving duo in Micah Gilbert and Jordan Faison. For North Carolina, a big play and better offensive execution could be the key to pulling off an upset against Notre Dame.",
