Anderson Castle punched in the go-ahead 1-yard touchdown with 2:18 left set up by an audacious fake field-goal call and Duke followed with a late stop to hold off rival North Carolina 32-25 on Saturday. The win made the Blue Devils bowl eligible again, along with ensuring they could keep the Victory Bell that goes to the rivalry winner for another year. (Associated Press)
