Keys to the Game

Posted Nov 18, 2006

Bragging rights. Add these two teams' wins together and they still wouldn't qualify for a bowl, but today's victor at least has something to help salve its wounds through the offseason. UNC has won two straight and 10 of 13 in the series. John Bunting owns a 3-2 record vs. State. Duke (4-1) is the only other ACC team Bunting has a winning record against. These teams rank 100th (State) and 117th (UNC) in turnover margin. (Raleigh News & Observer)
