US EditionDuke Retains Victory Bell in Thrilling Win over UNC
Anderson Castle scored three touchdowns and Duke converted 60% of third- and fourth-down plays, including a key fake field goal, to secure bowl eligibility.
- On Saturday at Kenan Stadium, Duke Blue Devils executed a fake field-goal when holder Kade Reynoldson flipped the snap, setting up a 1-yard touchdown with 2:18 left that sealed a 32-25 win as kicker Todd Pelino sprinted 26 yards to the UNC 1.
- Because the Tar Heels allowed key miscues, including a 40-yard kickoff return and roughing-the-kicker after a missed 46-yard field-goal attempt, Duke secured the Victory Bell and bowl eligibility.
- Facing a long field-goal look, Duke lined up a 44-yard attempt before Kade Reynoldson flipped the snap and Todd Pelino ran 26 yards to the 1, setting up Anderson Castle's three 1-yard rushing touchdowns.
- UNC's loss means the Tar Heels won't reach the six-win threshold for bowl eligibility in Bill Belichick's first season, leaving Belichick 0-2 against in-state ACC rivals amid a 4-7 record.
- Duke will host Wake Forest next Saturday as it builds on the Victory Bell win, while UNC's remaining schedule lists a Nov. 29 trip at N.C.
