The statistical outliers emanating from Saturday's Carolina vs. Duke football game could fill up a library book from the 1950s (an era when the Blue Devils beat Carolina seven years running) or a 16-gigabyte flash drive from the modern era (which has seen Duke rip off three straight wins and five of seven over Carolina). The Blue Devils escaped with a 42-35 win that leaves the Victory Bell in Durham and the Tar Heels searching for answers in a season marked by losses of seven, three, three, 10, 10 and seven points.
* Carolina had its longest rushing play ever against Duke when Dazz Newsome took a handoff from Nathan Elliott late in the first half and, with the entire offensive line flowing right, cruised left, bolted up field, streaked past a Blue Devil linebacker and outran everyone else, 84 yards to the house.
