UNC Nips Duke In A Tobacco Road Thriller
Oct 15, 2022; Durham, North Carolina, USA; Duke Blue Devils tight end Matt Smith (80) just before the first half at Wallace Wade Stadium.When Duke and UNC play in just about anything, you’re going to get your money’s worth and that was certainly the case in Wallace Wade as UNC scored quite late to go up 38-35, a lead they would hold despite Duke nearly pulling off a miracle.
Duke played well in the first half and was up 21-17 at the half. The Tar Heels took a 10-point lead in the third, going up 31-21, but Duke rallied in the fourth. Riley Leonard hit Sahmir Hagans with a 20-yard pass to cut the lead to 31-28 and then Jordan Waters ripped off a 38-yard run to score with 10:12 to go up 35-31.
