MARY CECILIA MITSCH I Observer Graphic NSIDER THE Monday, October 13, 2008 OBSERVER North Carolina 29, Notre Dame 24 Achilles' Heel Irish fall to 0-2 on road after North Carolina uses turnovers to mount fourth quarter comeback in. Chapel Hill

By CHRIS HINE Ediwr-in-Chief

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.- The clock hit zero before Notre Dame quar­ terback Jimmy Clausen could down the ball inside the 10-yard line. North Carolina players rushed the field. But Charlie Weis had thought there was still time let\ on the clock. I Ie was right. Replay officials said there were two seconds left - but they also said Notre Dame didn't have the ball anymore. North Carolina did, giving the Tar !!eels a 29-24 victory Saturday over the deflated Irish. "''m not saying this to be disre­ spectful, but that team in that locker room today, it was the first time in a long time where I've looked in their faces against a good opponent and it was a team that really feels bad," Irish coach Charlie Weis said. "And the reason they really feel bad is because they're starting to get it ... This is not the same team that everyone saw at the beginning of the year. This team is starting to get it." The officials initially said fresh­ man wide receiver Michael Floyd was down before he let go of a fourth-down reception at the 7- yard line. North Carolina defen­ sive back Jordan Hemby scooped it up. After review, the officials gave the ball back to the Tar Heels.
