For whom the (Victory) Bell tolls: Finally, it’s Duke’s turn to celebrate

Posted Oct 21, 2012
The Blue Devils’ landmark victory seemed almost inevitable for most of the night, as they ripped through the Tar Heels for a season-high 234 rushing yards and a 20-9 lead after three quarters. But like last week’s loss at Virginia Tech, in which Duke squandered a 20-0 lead, the celebration among the sellout crowd of 33,941 nearly ended before it ever had a chance to begin.
