Man, that one was way too close. For the second time this season the Tar Heels needed two overtimes to beat an overmatched opponent, though unlike their Appalachian State win, no one was really surprised that Duke gave the Tar Heels fits. On defense, Duke was was one of the best in the country at scoring, red zone, yards, and in general just keeping good teams down.
Still, for the third straight ACC game, the Tar Heels were a double-digit favorite, for the third straight ACC game the Tar Heels managed to get a double-digit lead, and for the third straight ACC game the Tar Heels surrender that lead in the fourth quarter.
