The Duke Blue Devils got their first victory in ACC play of the season. It took a last-minute interception to seal the 28-27 victory but it was enough to get the win over 17th-ranked North Carolina. The Blue Devils are now 1-5 in conference play.

Junior safety Alonzo Saxton II intercepted Tar Heels’ quarterback Mitch Trubisky with 1:08 to play, pulling through for the Blue Devils defense. It was the the Blue Devils second interception of the game. The Duke defense held the Tar Heels offense to just two field goals in the second half.

Quarterback Daniel Jones completed a two-yard pass to tight end Davis Koppenhaver in the third quarter which was the game-winning score for the Blue Devils. Neither team scored a point in the fourth quarter.

Running back Shaun Wilson ran the ball 24 times for 107 yards and a touchdown. Jones ran ball for 94 yards and two touchdowns as well. Through the air, Jones threw for 240 passing yards and a touchdown.
