UNC vs. Duke 1978: A ho-hum-season-ending-game becomes a Tar Heel thrill
Posted Oct 27, 2019
This season's games against Miami and Duke have become two of UNC's greatest wins in Kenan Stadium...along with the '48 Texas win, the '57 Navy win, and the '63 Georgia win (among others). One of those "others" was the 1978 Duke game, coach Dick Crum's first encounter with the Blue Devils. What transpired that afternoon is the stuff of legends.
