Carolina Seeks Victory Bell Saturday At Duke
November 9, 2018 | Football
Carolina plays its final road game of the season Saturday when the Tar Heels make the short drive to Durham to face ACC Coastal rival Duke at 12:20 p.m.
UNC is 1-7 on the year and 1-5 in the league following a 38-28 loss to Georgia Tech last Saturday. Carolina rallied from an 18-point deficit to tie the game at 28 in the fourth quarter, but the Yellow Jackets scored 10 straight to close the game.
Duke is 6-3 on the year and 2-3 in ACC play after a 20-12 win at Miami. Deon Jackson rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown in a game that was played in torrential rain. The Blue Devil defense limited the Hurricanes to just 111 passing yards on the night.
Saturday's game will be broadcast on Raycom Sports and locally on WRAL.
BATTLE FOR THE VICTORY BELL
The winner of Saturday's game will receive the coveted Victory Bell, which has been presented annually to the winner of the Carolina-Duke football game since the 1940s. A large bell on wheels, this prize was originated by former Tar Heel cheerleader Norm Sper. Carolina has owned the bell for 23 of the last 28 seasons.
