For much of the game Notre Dame moved the ball with ease against the Heels, but all afternoon Carolina refused to break despite lots of South Bending against the Irish.
Though the defense carried Carolina, the offense played well in the second half, including a nice drive to end the 3rd quarter than ended with Sexton diving in for the go-ahead touchdown to start the 4th.
The Heels are now 5-1 with a head of steam as they head into the meat of their conference line up. In fact, the rest of their games are all winnable. Next week they travel to Charlottesville to play a suddenly hot Virginia team. The next two games are home games against Boston College and Georgia Tech, followed by a trip to Maryland, home against NC State before finishing the regular season at Duke. Carolina has an outside shot at 11-1; how crazy is that? At a minimum Carolina should win their three home games and at least one of their road games, so at worst should finish at 9-3.
Ellas Wins Too
Hellenic blue had a good day of football, too. The opponent, Moldova, is hardly in the same class as Notre Dame but Greece dominated in winning 3-0 in a World Cup qualifier in Piraeus today. Christeas had two goals, including one off a nifty pass out of a free kick, with Katsouranis (off an assist from my man Fanis Gekas) netting the other.
Greece plays Switzerland on Wednesday in Athens.
McCain defends Obama
In an attempt to stem some of the hate-speech and vitriol his supporters have been spewing towards Obama, we saw the old 2000 John McCain today. McCain-Palin rallies have increasing turned ugly, but here's some video of McCain urging his supporters to show some restraint (still, you hear some boos when he does).
Ironic that the only time McCain has looked presidential in the last month is when he's defended his opponent.
