UNC Beats Duke for 8th Straight Season
CHAPEL HILL, NC — Tar Heel senior WR Dwight Jones had three touchdown catches while redshirt freshman RB Giovani Bernard ran for a season-high 165 yards and a score to help North Carolina beat Duke 37-21 on Saturday.
Jones finished with 10 catches for 101 yards to set a school single-season record for receptions, while Bernard had a season-high 30 carries and finished with 222 total yards to lead the Tar Heels (7-5, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference). Bryn Renner also threw for 274 yards and tied a school single-season record for TD passes, helping UNC beat the Blue Devils (3-9, 1-7) for the eighth straight year.
North Carolina had won 20 of 21 meetings and managed a 100-yard rusher in six of the last seven meetings, an indication of its physical edge in the rivalry. This one fit right in, with Bernard cracking the 100-yard mark in the first half and bursting up the middle for a 48-yard sprint to the end zone early in the second quarter.
Congratulations to the North Carolina Tar Heels Football team for defeating the Duke Blue Devils for the eighth straight season and keeping the Victory Bell in Chapel Hill where it belongs.
Go TAR HEELS!
