What happened
ESPN RECAPPyne clicks as Notre Dame powers past North Carolina
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- , Drew Pyne threw three touchdown passes and Notre Dame finally clicked on offense in a 45-32 victory over North Carolina on Saturday. Audric Estime rushed for two touchdowns and 134 yards and Chris Tyree ran for 80 yards and a score for the Fighting Irish (2-2). Pyne completed 24 of 34 passes for 289 yards. “We focused all week on executing,” Pyne said. “We scored on a lot of drives and it all starts with the O-linemen.” The outcome resulted in the first road win under first-year coach Marcus Freeman. The way the Irish attacked offensively by relying on the offensive line is how Freeman envisions a Notre Dame offense. “It’s what you hope Notre Dame football is going to be about,” Freeman said. “We’re preparing better. The result of that preparation is what you saw today.” The Tar Heels (3-1) were denied their first 4-0 start to a season since 1997.
