Watch Notre Dame get a long TD from Jordan Faison at North Carolina

No. 3 Notre Dame has rallied for 21 unanswered points since going down 7-0 to the North Carolina Tar Heels, with wide receiver Jordan Faison getting his second touchdown.

Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr connected with a wide-open Faison as the Tar Heels blew their coverage assignment. The 39-yard touchdown pass came on third down and ended a 11-play, 77-yard drive that took 3:55 off the clock.

Faison has had a good start to the game, and he found himself uncovered for the relatively easy score — Faison did have to lay out to haul the catch in.
