Young quarterbacks going head-to-head in Victory Bell

DURHAM

Mitch Trubisky, a UNC junior, has experienced the bells and whistles that come with playing in the Victory Bell.

Daniel Jones, a Duke redshirt freshman, has not.

Trubisky suited up behind Marquise Williams in the quarterback’s 494-yard, four-touchdown victory over Duke in 2015, while Jones didn’t see any action in the 66-31 loss.

Now starters, quarterbacks Jones and Trubisky will go head-to-head Thursday in Durham.

“I think they’re two terrific young quarterbacks,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said Monday. “They both are performing at an extremely high level. They’re both a little different. They’re in similar offenses where the quarterback is asked to do a lot.
