The Victory Bell is on the line this Saturday when North Carolina visits Duke in a rivalry matchup.
It’s a bounce-back week for North Carolina (3-1, 0-0 ACC) in Week 4 after losing 70-50 at home last week to James Madison. That was UNC’s first loss of the year and one that clearly cut deep, with head coach Mack Brown reportedly telling the team after the game that the result made him contemplate retirement. Brown has since clarified those comments and remains at the head of UNC football, and now will try to lead the team back into the win column. He’ll have a big spot to do it, as the Tar Heels visit in-state rival Duke (4-0, 0-0 ACC) at Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium on Saturday.
