Duke has given up one sack but hasn’t faced defensive front like UNC

Posted Oct 15, 2026
Duke football coach Manny Diaz says his offensive line will face its biggest test of the season against UNC on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (ESPN). Diaz said the Tar Heels' depth and variety are what set its pass rush apart. "It is the strength of the team. They are really, really good up front. They’re deep. They can all make plays. They can all win one-on-one." (Tar Heel Tribune)
