Durham, N.C. Chapel Hill, N.C. Chapel Hill, N.C. CAROLINA FOOTBALL 2015 IN REVIEW
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) --- Duke waited until it was time to play No. 15 North Carolina to finally cut out all the mistakes that kept haunting the Blue Devils in close losses. They ran the ball with a physical edge and tightened de- fensively, then ended their Senior Night by sprinting across the field as time expired to reclaim a lost rivalry trophy. Daniel Jones ran for two scores and threw for another to help the Blue Devils upset the Tar Heels 28-27 to secure their first Atlantic Coast Conference win. Duke (4-6, 1-5 ACC) was flirting with its first winless league record since 2007 after a tight loss at No. 5 Louisville and a pair of three-point losses to Georgia Tech and No. 18 Virginia Tech. Jones, a redshirt freshman, ran for 94 yards as part of a ground game that kept moving the chains against the Tar Heels (7-3, 5-2, No. 17 CFP). Shaun Wilson ran for a game-high 107 yards and a score of his own, Duke finished with 227 yards rushing and converted 10 of 17 third-down chances. Duke took more than 6 1/2 minutes off the clock with a long drive from its own 1 before punting back to UNC. The Blue Devils then came up with a final stop, with Alonzo Saxton II picking off Mitch Trubisky near midfield with 1:02 left on a night that ended with Duke players sprinting across the field to re-claim the Victory Bell presented to the winner of the long-running rivalry. More surprisingly, Duke’s defense gradually locked down the Tar Heels’ high-scoring offense, which finished with just 31 yards in the final 15 minutes. “Every time we would make a play, we would shoot ourselves in the foot on the next one or something would happen,” Tar Heels coach Larry Fedora said. “There was no consistency whatsoever.”
