When Duke and North Carolina face each other Saturday at Kenan Stadium, the two teams will be battling for the Victory Bell--a large bell on wheels that has gone to the winner since the 1940s.
But victories in football are not easy for either program. North Carolina has spent lavishly on facilities and coaches in recent years, without achieving success at the highest level.
At Duke, wins have proven even more elusive. Three times this decade Duke has gone an entire season without winning a game. But, that trend could be changing. A new coach and a new attitude have the Blue Devils at 5 and 3 this season. Dave DeWitt has the story of Duke’s football resurgence.
