Carolina Reclaims Victory Bell, 20-17

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Chazz Surratt picked off Deon Jackson's trick-play pass at the goal line with 14 seconds left to help North Carolina hold off rival Duke 20-17 on Saturday night.

The Blue Devils (4-4, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) had pushed from their own 6-yard line inside the UNC 5-yard line on a dramatic late-game drive. But Jackson's attempted jump-pass after a handoff was snagged by Surratt, the quarterback-turned-linebacker who had leapt to deflect the ball but instead ended up corralling it for a game-saving takeaway.

The Tar Heels (4-4, 3-2) took a knee to end the game, then had their players sprinting off the sideline and across the field to reclaim the Victory Bell presented to the rivalry game winner.
