DURHAM – In a classic Saturday night that saw Duke and North Carolina combine for 1,078 yards and the lead change hands five times, the Tar Heels scored a go-ahead touchdown with 16 seconds remaining to stun the Blue Devils, 38-35, before a sold-out crowd at Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium.
Jordan Waters broke loose for a 38-yard touchdown to give the Blue Devils the lead, 35-31, with 10:12 remaining in the game as Duke scored 14 straight after trailing 31-21. Duke had the ball back in the Red Zone looking to ice the game away in the final minutes, but penalties stunted the drive and a missed field goal gave UNC life.
