UNC to face off against Duke in the battle for the Victory Bell

The annual showdown between North Carolina and Duke for the Victory Bell is set to reignite this weekend in Durham, with the Tar Heels aiming to snap a two-game losing streak in the rivalry. After a tough stretch against Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, UNC’s offense will need to capitalize on matchups for standout receiver Jordan Shipp, who leads the team in receptions by a significant margin this season.

Duke, meanwhile, enters the matchup with a strong recent run, including a 9-5 record last season and a hard-fought ACC Championship win over Virginia in overtime. Head coach Manny Diaz, who has guided the Blue Devils to a 22-10 conference record and an ACC title, faces UNC for the fourth time in his coaching career.

The Blue Devils’ offense will look to quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, a former Duke player who later became a four-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler in the NFL, for leadership on the field.
