UNC football falls 28-27 to rival Duke Posted Nov 10, 2016 After a 14-0 start, it appeared North Carolina was primed to run away with its rivalry matchup against Duke. But the Blue Devils didn’t lie down, using a resurgent defense and clock-chewing ground game to stymie UNC’s powerful offense in a 28-27 win in Durham. Duke’s offense used a combination of short passes and runs to keep the defense off balance. (Daily Tar Heel)
