Duke's Trick Plays Secure Bowl Eligibility

Duke football secured a crucial rivalry victory over North Carolina, winning thirty-two to twenty-five in Chapel Hill. This win marked their sixth of the season, making them bowl eligible for the fourth consecutive year. Running back Nate Sheppard had a standout performance, carrying the ball twenty-two times for ninety yards. The team also showcased surprising play-calling, including a fake field goal in the fourth quarter that set up the game-winning touchdown. This victory secured bowl eligibility, kept Coach Diaz undefeated against in-state opponents, and ensured the Victory Bell remains in Durham. Duke will host Wake Forest in Durham next Saturday, with an ACC Championship appearance still a long shot but their slim hopes alive. DNN | The Daily News Now!
