After what was a very long, painful, and unnecessary six-overtime loss against Virginia Tech, the Tar Heels are back in Kenan Stadium for their Homecoming matchup against Duke. The Blue Devils are coming off a 48-14 loss to Virginia, and they need this game almost as much as UNC does in order to stay in the running for the Coastal Division.
Should the Tar Heels come out on top in this game, they will go into their game against Virginia next week still on shaky ground, but a win against the Cavaliers would also be enough to keep them firmly in the Coastal conversation.
