Duke Pushes UNC To The Absolute Limit Before Falling, 47-45 In Double OT

Duke and UNC went into the annual grudge match Saturday and they put on one of the better games in the 110 year history of the rivalry.

Duke played without star quarterback Riley Leonard again, and true freshman Grayson Loftis racked up 189 passing yards for three touchdowns.

The Blue Devils fell behind 13-0 before fighting back to go up 14-13. The Tar Heels scored on a field goal to go back up 16-14 and then got another to go up 19-14 in the third.

The fourth quarter got kind of wild. The Heels push out to a 26-14 lead, then Duke scored two touchdowns to go up 29-26, including a two-point conversion pass by Jalon Calhoun.
