UNC defense rings up win over Duke

Posted Nov 8, 2009
Thad Lewis and the Duke offense, the irresistible force, crashed headlong into Robert Quinn and the North Carolina defense, the immovable object. Chalk one up for the immovable object. Backup tailback Ryan Houston rushed for a career-high 164 yards and Quinn had three sacks to lead North Carolina to a 19-6 victory over Duke in the annual Victory Bell game Saturday afternoon at Kenan Stadium.
