## Resource

Tyler Wojciak, host of Locked On Irish, gets Notre Dame fans ready for GameDay as the Fighting Irish travel to Chapel Hill to take on Bill Belichick and North Carolina. Tyler breaks down his five biggest things to watch, beginning with Notre Dame’s offensive line against the Tar Heels’ defensive front and the ongoing competition between Aneyas Williams, Nolan James Jr. and Jonaz Walton at running back. Then, he examines how CJ Carr handles the challenge of facing Belichick’s defense and what the UNC head coach could do to test the young quarterback before and after the snap. Finally, Tyler explains why Notre Dame’s surging pass rush could overwhelm North Carolina’s inexperienced offensive line and how potential rain and thunderstorms could impact the game plan for both teams.
