UNC-Duke: Matchups to Watch

Posted Nov 7, 2018
Duke’s defensive deficiencies represent a favorable matchup for the Tar Heels. Larry Fedora has said his offense cannot be successful if the run game is nonexistent. Duke is allowing 4.66 rush yards per carry, good for 11th in the ACC. Their strength lies with defending the pass as they are third in the conference in limiting teams to only 6.45 yards per pass attempt. (Inside Carolina)
