North Carolina vs. Duke Full Game | 2022 ACC Football

the opportunity that his crew has he's going to get a chance to try out that defense against one of the best offenses in the country well Duke won the toss and the Blue Devils have elected to defer and Elijah green and Omarion Hampton are deep and it will be the Freshman Hampton who will catch it in the end zone and Carolina will start from its 25. and if Carolina is having a successful season there might be a May involved right and basketball a few years ago it was Luke May several years ago Mark May his dad was the quarterback and now welcome Drake May to the process here this is a guy that is one of the best quarterbacks has established himself as one of the best and most talented in the country qbr over 90 which is good for best in the ACC he's been fantastic Caleb hoods the running back first down May wants the throw up in the pocket gonna take the Deep shot for Antoine green and it's caught at the Duke 22-yard line 10th catch of the year for Antoine Greene wastes no time as Antoine Greene just a little stutter and then runs right by Speedy young datron young he's able to make the contested catch at the end of it Antoine Green's emergency has been a big reason this offense has been as explosive as it's been 53-yard throw in the first snap that's Downs in motion to the slot on the left and here's Hood's First Carry of the night and he will chew up about three on first down Dorian mausi and Darius Joyner on the stop gain of three it'll be second down and seven how about Phil longer though on the first play of the game taking a shot downfield had a deep over route but Drake May liking what he saw on the outside creating a big play fake by May in trouble ball popped loose he was able to fall on it Dwayne Carter slapped it out of there for the Blue Devils and if Duke is going to have consistent success this defensive line has to be good Drake May A little sloppy with the ball security leaving it down low nice job by Dwayne Carter of swatting it down Caroline has been excellent on Third and Longs this year but this one is there's not a lot of plays in The Playbook even for an offense as explosive as this for third and 15. Tar Heels for 7-14 last week against Miami Duke held Georgia Tech to five of 15 in the overtime loss in Atlanta May shoots it deep overthrows Downs incomplete duquette Brandon Johnson playing deep Jalen Stenson underneath in front of Josh Downs Drake man Josh Downs out on the same page Downs kind of throttled it in front of the safety and curl dub Drake May threw it deep down the field cover two and so when draws down seeso safety tries to bend it between the two of them Drake May throws it deep and Duke able to get a third down stop Noah Burnett will try a 46-yard field goal center of the field and the kick by Burnett is through so the long throw from May to Antoine green got Carolina started maybe an unforced error on the fumble by May and then a missed throw Roddy they settle for the Burnett field goal I would say that series is a win for Duke you get hit with a Haymaker on the first play of the game on that throw down the field Carolina tries to take the energy out Mack Brown happy that his team got points but if I'm Mike Elko you took that punch you steadied yourself and then stood up on the next three plays to force a long field goal now your offense gets to go to work five plays 47 yards a minute 42. the field goal to 47 or 45 yards for Noah Burnett who now on the season is seven for eight Jalen Stenson will return the kick of Burnett and we'll get to see Riley Leonard in his Duke Carolina debut you think that favors Duke a little bit to hold Carolina to a field goal Roddy yeah anytime you can hold this Carolina offense to a field goal it it is a benefit but I mean Duke played four plays on defense three of them were good one of them was a long time it was a long pass down the field so yeah I think all in all it makes that defense feel pretty good Burnett going to hammer this Stenson will not even offer a return and the Blue Devils with Riley Leonard will begin from their 25-yard line too we didn't know what to think when Riley Leonard bested Jordan Moore to win the Duke quarterback job in training camp but after visiting with Kevin Johns yesterday so far so good for this young man from Fairhope Alabama and I think Riley Leonard has been one of the big surprises in the league alongside the guy that he was just that he's facing Drake May with his ability to command the offense I think his short accuracy has been fantastic this season and he is a great athlete at the quarterback position Jalen Coleman is out again tonight for Duke so Jordan Waters starts with Leonard in the backfield quick throw and this is Calhoun who juggles and holds on to it it'll pick up 15 almost 16 on first down to the 41. before DeAndre Boykins makes the stop for Carolina Jordan Calhoun excuse me Jalen Calhoun missed the majority of that game last week against Georgia Tech and I thought this offense really struggled without him he's taking himself off the field kind of grabbing that hand do you hope that if you're a Duke player you hope that he's okay because this offense had a tough time moving the ball the majority of time against the jackets after he left the game Eli panko to the top of your screen has come into the field side pair of receivers here to the boundary for Riley Leonard and Waters will try the right side and he will hit for four maybe five on the play before the Tar Heels make the stop last catcher Jalen Calhoun you saw the Bobble there it's like somewhere in there hurt that hand exactly see where it happened but he's back out on the field yep there's Calhoun [Music] 165th catch of his Duke career started the ball game for them second down after the waters run and the stop by Murphy here's Leonard pushing it to the left side Riley turns up field and will cross midfield for a Blue Devil first down Desmond Evans rides him out of bounds but Riley Leonard shows you his skill set here Roddy UNC plays this great Cedric gray takes away Nikki damolin who's that's who Riley Leonard was looking for Desmond Evans just gets outrun to the perimeter Riley Leonard able to convert the first down that's where he's so dangerous so they can get him out on the edge I mean there's not a defensive end around that's going to be able to run with Riley Lynn Terry Moore has come in the ball game a young freshman they're excited about from Little Washington North Carolina with seven carries and 36 yards on the season [Applause] Blue Devils first snapping plus territory and this is more to the perimeter and a first down for Duke Cedric gray takes him out of Bounds at the 34. [Applause] and Moore's second catch of the Year Rod he's the first down just get the outside receivers kind of running off as the natural pick that happens with Cedric gray flip it out to Moore in the flat and with Jalen Coleman out I'd expect to see more get involved to try and create some explosive plays Calhoun and Samir Higgins the two slot receivers to the field side Ole Miss First and Ten play [Applause] and the give is more inside the 20. first he catches a pass and now Terry Moore runs for 14 and another Blue Devil first down Kevin Johnson he's the fastest back in that group Riley Leonard rides this thing a long time before eventually handing off to Moore get some good blocks out there on the perimeter they put three receivers to the field on that one and both Corners traveled with the receivers which gives you a clue that it's man-to-man those receivers when they run deep takes the defensive backs out of it get the seal on the outside in a big play three receivers set with pan Cole that's down bowling the tight end in motion here's Leonard trying to keep it and we'll squeeze off two maybe three yards on the play it'll be second in about eight Desmond Evans the stop for Carolina has been a good drive for Duke and this is sort of indicative of who they are they're a very good first and second down team and they're very good at creating third and medium to short they've had the lowest percentage of third and seven plus in the League this year because of their success on first and second down they don't give up tackles for loss they don't give up sacks it makes it really hard on defense here's the other thing Roddy they're working the puck too here with this possession and advancing the football to that that's very intentional Leonard pressure coming around him he'll Bale inside the 10. Leonard to the three and down to the two first and goal for the Blue Devils on a terrific keep by Riley Leonard of 16. [Applause] watch the middle of your screen a hole the size of North Carolina opens up and Riley Leonard takes advantage of it and that's what makes them so hard I mean Carolina covered that well down the field but you don't keep Integrity in your pass rush lanes and whole opens up and Leonard's able to get down inside the five-yard line and look field goals are not going to win this game when Duke gets these situations they're going to have to punch him in Blue Devils trying to score on another first possession to start a game Ronnie and now Mike Elko wants a timeout [Applause] Gary Patterson Awards the timeout for the Blue Devils we take a break three nothing Carolina Duke threatening when we come back Riley Leonard and the Blue Devils get ready for their eighth snap of this opening possession Roddy trailing three to nothing but this eighth snap they've had plays of 15 15 14 and 16 and now it's first and goal at Carolina's two they stayed on schedule now they have an opportunity to punch it in which would be huge Waters with Leonard and it is Jordan Waters into a stock did he break the plane yes touchdown Duke what a statement drive for this Duke offense eight plays 75 yards incredibly efficient and aggressive as they take the ball right down the field punching in the end zone after holding Carolina only three what a statement for Mike elko's offense fifth rushing score of the year for Jordan Waters [Applause] Charlie Hamm makes the lead 7-3 Dukes now outscored their opponents 73-13 in the first quarter Roddy and they run right behind the extra offensive lineman the big number four Brian Foley mixing it up usually plays guard they stick him on the end of the line of scrimmage you get a nice push and then Jordan Waters keeps driving those legs Powers into the end zone for six and you know when you're at home in one of these rivalry games to have some success early keep the crowd into it especially when you're up against a potent offense on the other side it's a big for that team wow look at that 13-1 when scoring a touchdown on the opening possession that's pretty good so now Mack Brown's Tar Heels second possession we'll see them trailing four after the Duke touchdown drop there's the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame coach second to Nick Saban among active coaches and wins with 270 entering tonight Carolina will start from its 25. let's go downstairs what you got TD yeah well like you both mentioned Duke holding UNC to a field goal on that first drive really energized this Duke sideline offensive coordinator Kevin Johns told us this week we haven't scored as much as UNC All Season we know we're gonna have to match them so for the defense to set the tone early really provided some confidence for the offense and they were able to execute accordingly Riley Leonard's first quarter production in the pass game also continues to just be a thing too Roddy certainly goes terrific numbers now can May and the Tar Heels return the serve first down tried to go to Josh Downs just off his fingertips and Joshua Pickett nearly ran into a pick there's a lot of freedom for these receivers in this offense Josh Downs probably has the most of any of them but I'm not sure why he settled that one down it was man-to-man he had a guy on his back Drake May expected him to keep running he shuts it down and ends up incomplete Duke with a three-man front another quick throw misses Downs again a little circle out to the 35 and a first down for Carolina [Applause] 29th catch of the year for Josh Downs the short area quickness of Josh Downs is impressive he catches that ball gets right around the defender and is able to knife up the field exciting to watch here is May going to keep it called draw out of the Tar Heel huddle and whoa with the Big Time Tackle on May no flag as Carolina reaches the 42. second down goes up high mayor up around the neck almost Tar Heels with a quick snap here made to his left now we'll get the first down and slide safely with Shaka Hayward trailing at the 48-yard line of the Blue Devils stop the presses West we've had a Carolina quarterback slide for the last few seasons between Sam Howell and Drake may not a lot of sliding going on but there was a lot of talk this week with the coaching staff with Drake May about protecting his body because the team is better with him at quarterback Here Comes May a little shovel bench and this is Caleb Hood he will crack near another first down inside the 39 to the Blue double 38 by the way that's a Another Second Generation Tar Heel Caleb Hood former High School quarterback Roddy turned running back in Chapel Hill has really started to emerge if he can stay healthy they feel really good about his progression two by two look who to get another crack at it left side this time in Hood inside the 30-25 of Duke before Darius Joyner the transfer from Western Illinois makes the stop it's a really nice job by awesome Richards and Spencer Rollin of opening up that hole for Hood 13 more Hood gets a third straight carry and he will battle just inside the 23. while Duke is slowing things offensively Carolina appears to be pushing it up through the gearbox a little bit well they're going to play their Tempo and this is a team that likes to press at times and try and get you tired with their ability to run the football if they can sort of get that going they've been a great rushing team since Phil Longo and Mac Brown arrived they have not been quite as good this season they can get that going it'll help take that offense to the next level here's a Marion Hampton spelling hood and hammering away inside the 15. another Tar Heel first down at the Duke 13-yard line it's a freshman Anthony was the closest Defender to Omarion Hampton 10-yard run in a first down almost like on this drive Phil Longo has decided to see if if Duke can stop the run we've seen we saw a quarterback draw we've seen a number of carries about Caleb Caleb hood and now Omarion Hampton I would keep at it keep challenging this deep front here is May flips it on the perimeter and that is Bryson Nesbitt knocked out of bounds by Shaka Hayward First Catch of the night for Nesbitt a 6'5 230 pound sophomore who had four catches for 98 in the touchdown against Virginia Tech a couple weeks ago pushed it has a tight end tight end room has been fantastic for Carolina today this year excuse me 10th play of the drive Roddy slings it to the perimeter here's downs and knocked back at the five he'll be a yard shot of the first down nice play in Space by Jalen Stinson cycling Josh Downs in space is as difficult as tackling anybody in the league Stinson who has been an excellent tackler these safeties for dudes Stinson and Darius Joyner are two of the best tacklers at that position in the conference all right you like Bill Longo's situation here but your third and two short two what are you doing here well I honestly I think you're trying to get Drake May on the perimeter or you're running the football this is almost certainly four down territory for an aggressive Carolina team and Mike Elco wants the timeout boy does he ever he ran to the numbers pretty good athleticism out of the former pen Quaker in the ivy league media timeout timeout it is in Durham back in a moment s to go you're wow for Less Roddy you know why we have rivalries right it's when things like this happen 1989 Steve Spurrier Duke beats Carolina 41 to nothing that's the last time Mack Brown Lost to Duke there's Carolina's head coach 11 straight he's had the Blue Devils number yep but at least in his most recent trip back to Capitol Hill this is the best Duke team that he will assist yep so third and two and if you know anything about Carolina's fourth down Tendencies they might be in two down territory Megan a quick throw to hood and we got a flag and Gary Patterson I think we have procedure on the Tar Heels here [Applause] boom a little bit of a discussion with referee Patterson and his crew prior to the snap ball start offense five yard penalty still third down whatever it was Carolina had it in the play call then all three tight ends in the game Nesbit copenhaver and Morales were all lined up together there they are the three tight ends who are all great receiving threats as well and Bryson Nesbitt might as well be a receiver with with his athletic ability they're gonna stay in the game you're interested to see where they line up where they line those three guys up third down now and seven after the penalty Nesbitt in motion here's May throwback Morales touchdown Carolina [Applause] because it's a beautiful play Design West by Phil Longo keeps all three tight ends in the game you line up two of them to one side use com use uh Bryson Nesbitt almost like a slot receiver with the fake Jet Sweep Morales just drags back across the flow it's a touchdown Burnett to give the Tar Heels a three-point lead [Music] after Duke drives down and gets a touchdown Carolina responds 11 plays 75 yards and this touchdown pass from Drake Made to a wide open Kamari Morales playing all shades of blue tonight royal blue and light blue even some navy blue sprinkled in two folks in white shirts right what's up great crowd and they have been treated early in this game Benson will watch that bounce to the May to Morales connection here there's a lot going on here so you've got two tight ends John copenhaver pushes up the field and Kamari Morales just drags across when you get Bryson Nesbitt across the formation Dorian marusi gets kind of caught in between he's responsible for Morales so he kind of pushes copenhaver out Morales is already gone eyes in the backfield Morales ends up wide open for a touchdown it's a nice job by Phil Longo of using a Personnel grouping 13 Personnel one back three tight ends treating it like 12 by using Bryson Nesbitt as a receiver here's the 24th snap of the ball game between the two schools we've already had 10 plays of 10 yards or more and Leonard bailing from the pocket to his left he'll turn it up field and get four on the scramble and they'll measure it for the 29 so second and Six coming up Kevin Hester was angling him out of bounds for Carolina Riley Leonard's legs have been the biggest weapon for this Duke offense so far Carolina loses contain on the pass rush and it leaves an acre of space for Leonard to pick up a nice Chunk on first down well Hester first and what power echoes in full Sprint into defense moon in the orbit orbit and the ball of Moore he'll slip through Terry Moore and the touchdown saving tackle was Jabari ritzy or else the young freshman from Little Washington Roddy is standing in the Horseshoe of the end zone he's going to hit his head on the goal post it's actually a nice job by ritzy of pursuing the play Moore made Cameron Kelly missing the hole and it was nothing but green grass what are the 290 pound defensive end was able to track him down great Pursuit terrific run by Moore who had just seven carries for 36 yards had five for 30 in Atlanta last week against Georgia Tech Duke and it's 46. and more again Tar Heels stay home playing well that time back to the line of scrimmage Noah Taylor who has been a terrific grad transfer for Carolina defensively with Eccles and gray at the linebacking spot Rowdy first guy there and I think if this Carolina defense is going to continue to grow Noah Taylor has to assert himself as one of the best Edge defenders in this league he's shown flashes of it really nice pass rusher big long and he's really sort of this whole defensive line there's a lot of talent there a lot of potential there I should say if they can improve their game in this defense I can hold up there into the mark second in the full and then throws Calhoun out of bounds and a flag coming on Cedric Gray Mack Brown litigating dead ball unnecessary roughness number 33 defense 15-yard penalty automatic first down proud certainly unhappy but I actually thought it was a pretty good call at first look he's got him there exaggerated by him falling into the into the into the signs but he does sling him when they are out of bounds it's tough for a linebacker to know exactly where you are when that happens but it's clearly a swaying you're clearly out of bounds to a call that's gonna happen every time ball to the 33. 15 yards plus territory possession for Duke Leonard loads throws for the End Zone Calhoun there incomplete that passes Giovanni Biggers and Calhoun this pretty good matchup good matchup but it's a matchup that Duke's gonna like Calhoun goes inside the corner and gets one on one with the safety and honestly the throw is better it's a touchdown and Riley Leonard has that a little bit further outside a little bit less towards the goal post it's probably a touchdown because the only reason Jaylen Calhoun can't get to it is he has to cross the face of Giovanni bigger first Miss of the night for Leonard his fourth first quarter Miss of the year [Applause] that's Bowen Sims in motion Leonard wants another shot inside or out in the catch is made first grab of the night first down for Samir Higgins Cameron Kelly the stop smear Higgins continued to improve full RPO Riley Leonard pulls it slings it down the field Samir Higgins had the punt return for a touchdown last week against Georgia Tech he's got incredible speed I think as the season goes on he's going to continue to emerge for this Duke offense I remember we were here early in the year Kevin Johns was talking about finding a way to get him more integrated in the packaging it's just taken a few weeks and it's it's part of the growing and maturing of this offense Riley Leonard raved about him as well first and ten for the Blue Devils on the perimeter down Mullen and he will pick up about three on the play Tony Grimes the Stop and of course Tar Heels have second and seven coming up and Gene chizik a booth or two down from us here tonight the assistant head coach for defense Charlton Warren and Tommy thickpinner technically the code defensive coordinators but we spent a lot of time yesterday with the former head coach at Auburn he was uh he's always a pleasure to catch up our former colleague here at ESPN but he talked to us about the defense just continuing to evolve and simplify Leonard cracks the fin he'll be short of the first down so third and a yard awaits the Blue Devils and if they choose that could be the final play of the first period Riley Leonard's top of something that I think is underrated his ability to run the football is willingness to hit it up in there behind those big offensive linemen amongst the Big Trees is something that's not lost on his Mike Elko in the middle of his first victory bell game his team starts third and one in Quarter Two off Carolina's 13-yard line you see big Foley the converted guard wearing number four on the wing at the right the hand to Waters and he will have the first down the play is pretty well defended by Carolina but because Duke does most of their work on first and second down it makes it so tough or even if you defend to play well it's a defensive line did a pretty good job of just a plunge forward's able to move the sticks this second quarter has been pretty rough on both clubs from an opposing scoring perspective Duke's opponents have scored 37 percent of their total points in Quarter Two Carolina 36 percent of their opponent points have come in Quarter Two here is Waters and right toward power Echols had some help from Cameron Kelly there's Eccles who's he if he doesn't play linebacker Roddy I don't know who does his name is power Eckles and he's got no gloves the sleeves on the cowboy collar knee brace I mean the man just looks like he's held together by pure sheer will and duct tape and he plays like it too he is a fun player to watch with the wrist splints he's a good player he and Cedric gray have done a great job in the middle of that defense 11th play of the drive here Leonard wants to throw on the perimeter Calhoun the catch he'll slip down at the five with DeAndre Boykins who closed the show last week at Miami with the interception making the stop what's Boykins at the very end of this round there's just a little hesitation when Calhoun catches the ball thinking that he might turn back inside and that's what creates the space to let Calhoun get it get a couple extra yards Boykins just goes ahead and trusts it inside out goes and makes the tackle maybe he prevents him from getting a couple extra but still pretty good coverage there by Boykin well he and downs are fun to watch in short space right they are Jalen Calhoun Josh down through the most exciting guys in the slot in the league three to the field on third down for Leonard to his right Leonard has room wow a Big Lick Cedric gray flips him over at the two it'll be just short of the first down Camron Kelly also there fourth down and Mike Elko wastes no time it looked like there was going to be a walk into the end zone and Cameron Kelly closes the space and ends up flipping Riley Leonard and this is something we're going to see a lot today the offense is staying on the field going forward on fourth down Mike Elko took us through his process they talked about this early in the week when you cross a certain yard line fourth and usually four or less they're going to go for it they're going for it here Duke seven of 11 on fourth down Carolina's not been great defending it here's a quick throw Calhoun cannot haul it in the Tar Heels get the hold oh momentum swing here early in Quarter Two Roddy well both of these teams are going to be aggressive on fourth down and I think with a better throw they might have a chance but after a long drive the Carolina Defense Forces a fourth down gets off the field Duke runs 13th Place 72 yards Give It Away on downs and on First and Ten deep in his own territory Drake May calls his own number for almost five Tar Heels a little working room Michael Reese tackle for Duke there's a look at the Young Prospect 6-3-260 from Music City you've seen how big the quarterback run has been for both teams look at these quarterbacks been excellent with their feed and no longer trusting his deep in his own territory J.J Jones with Josh Downs here on the near side and Caleb Hood trying to scratch out a couple of yards let's go back to Duke's fourth down Ronnie you're going to see Jalen Coleman come back across and he's in there's man coverage with them storm duck trying to keep up he's actually got leverage if Riley Leonard just leads him to the outside and gives him a decent throw he's gonna have a chance to knife up the field to get the first down maybe score a touchdown it's a good play call by Kevin Johnson's poor execution in the ball game with may this is third down for Carolina Drake under duress here to the left side tries to turn the corner first down 20. flag Throne as he's banged out of Bounds at the 24 by Brandon Johnson you're going to get an illegal Blindside block on the true freshman Omarion Hampton he didn't even need to throw the block Drake May is well past he peels back and throws the block personal foul legal Blind Side Bob number 28 offense half a distance to the goal repeat third down it's just a mistake by a young player to say Drake May well pass look in the middle of your screen as he comes back towards the goal line collisions RJ open yeah the defensive end takes a first down off the board and the rules now the player has to see the block coming if the block has to come from the front and then throwing it back towards your own goal line has never advised there's got a little confusion here defensively scrambling to get an 11th player on the field here is May taking the shot for Jones who makes the catch J.J Jones at the 31-yard line and a first down how about the touch on this throw by Drake may you get a Post Corner Josh Downs is probably a little deeper than they would have liked him to be Mike elko's asking datron young hey man what's going on how's he so wide open but I think the touch by Drake may you know we often talk about arm strength the ability to manipulate the football get it up and down right next to the sideline is impressive too [Music] and he will sneak out of bounds after a gain of four Darius Joyner comes into the ball game Duke's leading tackler with almost 50 stops on the regular season there's a good look at the young man from Roanoke Alabama started his college career Jacksonville State into Western Illinois for a year and now a grad year at Duke [Applause] [Music] puts it to Hampton 40. and oh what a hit Chandler Rivers young freshman from Texas they're excited about Roddy took Hampton to the ground quick after a gain of enough of the first down to the 45 and the river is a guy that hasn't played a ton this year but they found opportunities to roll them in because you're right they are excited about him and these DBS are going to get their workout in I mean with the tempo and the number of deep routes that Carolina runs you're gonna have to roll those guys up Rivers draws Antoine green to the bottom of your screen on First and Ten this is Hampton and he will run over the top of Joyner and bausi who helped combine to make the stop gain a two second and eight the next snap for Carolina [Music] Bay gonna move the pocket to the left wants green back here at the near side and incomplete and taking off the point Roddy it looked like on his initial drop Phil Longo fired up I think he wanted Drake Made to take the shot initially but it was looked like May was a little spooked by a couple of Duke Defenders back there but part of the thing that makes this Tempo work for Carolina's the fact that Phil Longo the play collar signals everything in himself so it helps with the tempo he's not having to communicate to other people what the play call is and have them signal it this is a situation where Mack Brown is likely told him hey you get it to four or less we're going for it on fourth down yep [Applause] third and eight [Applause] downfield and off the hands of the intended receiver Gavin Blackwell and Carolina after May misses for the fourth time tonight Blackwell had an opportunity just got into his body when you're going down like that so hard and she gets Carolina coming out to punt the football this one a little too far outside of the range for Matt Brown the Irishman Ben Karen into punt and false start number 16. that's a five-yard penalty still four thousand with Jalen Calhoun waiting Carolina whistle for a false start and Roddy given the way Samir Hagan's return punts last week look Calhoun's legit he's got a terrific resume at this but Samir Samir Higgins was uh playing with the hot hand wasn't he hey he was he got a great one to return [Applause] people watch this hit and the Tar Heels will touch it up inside to 15. Drew little The Long Snapper handles it from a student a hashtag student section sauce to get the committee's attention and go to espn.com Taco Bell to see how your school can compete it's a great crowd that uh I'm gonna have nightmares about the master we just saw with the is that a troubling thing for you later very troubling is it yeah look look this this Duke crowd this Duke Community has really embraced Mike Elko in the Elko era and obviously Carolina's always going to draw a big crowd but when we need to resemble the student section was as packed as I've seen it yep until tonight where they've got a great group got some Bojangles in the band yeah some attempts at dancing Blue Devils from the 12. trailing three here's Leonard play fake to more and a batted ball that's almost intercepted looked like Murphy got a hand on it and Biggers came with a whisker of the pick Riley later had a receiver wide open but miles Murphy the big defensive end powering through two Duke players to get in the backfield he's been playing banked up this year you see that left ankle a little taped up Giovanni Biggers almost had himself in Easy pick six second in the full 10 for the Blue Devils and this is more and more Tar Heels rally that's Murphy again Ronnie Junior from Greensboro who had 38 tackles nine for loss a year ago that had just three in his last couple ball games he's made back-to-back impacts here his star potential but has been a little gimpy during this season he's getting more healthy those last two plays show you and he's Carolina defense you've got Duke into third and long for the first time today you have to be able to get off the field after Duke just forced upon Noah Taylor's got three and a half sacks he's at the top of the defensive line Leonard to his left Taylor in Pursuit Leonard throws its caught first down for the Blue Devils out at the 27. Jordan Moore on the ground Tyler Leonard actually had Jalen Calhoun down the field if he wanted it but creates with his legs escaping the pocket Noah Taylor spying him but Leonard staring down the sideline able to deliver this is Jalen Calhoun one-on-one down the pier with Tony Grimes how to step but still able to convert and that's a big one for Carolina on defense third and ten you give it up Miss Duke offense continues to roll Panko and Calhoun to the left more here to the field side and this is jaquez Moore he'll turn the corner first down to the 40-yard line before power Echols makes the tackle 13-yard run for jacquez Moore from Live Oak Florida Duke's had some success getting out there on the edge of North Carolina in the Run game early but that's why those third and tens are so big for both teams because both teams do such a good job on first and second down where you're not going to get a ton of third and long opportunities Kevin Johns I think he has done as good a job as any coordinator in the League this year with this Duke offense turning them into a unit that is very very efficient Terry Morris come back in the game with Leonard Here Comes pressure Leonard in trouble and cannot get away from the blitzing DeAndre Boykins who got just enough of Leonard and Duke loses ground back to the 26. it's a nice job of just keeping Riley Leonard in your sights diving at anything and scraping his feet and I actually think Riley Leonard probably tried to do that spin a little too early because if Boykins is a little bit closer then he doesn't have time to recover but even with the stumble he's able to swipe at the feet of Leonard second down 24 now first sack of the night for Carolina Straight Ahead 35 40 and Leonard's loose Riley Leonard 30 20 10 5 touchdown Duke [Music] [Applause] [Music] Kevin Johns on second and long goes with a safe call quarterback draw let's just get a little bit of yardage back make it a third and somewhat manageable and the offensive line got out in front you can see Ryan later pointing to him once he scored that was all of him get out in front found work down the field get a hat on a hat quarterback finishes it with the speed in the end zone Charlie Hamm for the point four-point Blue Devil Lee well the play before O'Reilly later gets tackled for a loss for this side he gets a block from his running back he gets a block for his offensive line makes a cut gets in the open field finishes it with the speed and a moment after disaster there is Elation on the part of the Duke Blue Devils Mike well Riley Leonard and Duke back in front 14-10 after the Blue Devil quarterback went 74 yards Charlie Hamm's kick will not be returned Carolina will start from its 25 and let's get a look at our Bojangles big bow moment from tonight's game Roddy and boy this one's easy he's got 97 yards of rushing and 74 on one swing yeah and I think if you're going to give Bojangles to anybody it's the guys up front Terry Moore throws a block you've got a couple of others including Jacob monk in there Riley later does the easy part with the speed in the end zone turns around and says hey offensive line that was you guys you guys have earned the Bojangles today so now Carolina trailing four and Riley Leonard you see the longest run of his career and throw in another 69 yards of passing and he's helped Duke to a four-point lead Tar Heels we get a delay game here sure did delay of game rarely do you see it on the first play of a possession yeah and I think that's just a Young quarterback losing track of where the white clock is they may have been slow getting out on the field too it's going to put Carolina behind the sticks fifth penalty for Mack Brown's team Duke yet to be flagged tonight here is May from the pocket and Nesbitt The Catch and slipped to a knee that's going to be ruled incomplete both the headlinesman and the line judge from both sides of the playing field signal the incomplete [Applause] there have been stretches where the offense has kind of gone into a lull a little bit [Applause] pretty good catch to me from that angle looked like he was on there and I didn't see the ball hit the ground expect them to take another look at this second down 15. no signal here is May Drake May will keep 30 35 in a first down for Carolina Shaka Hayward and Darius Joyner the tackle for the Blue Devils the 16-yard Run well it doesn't end up mattering but I'm a little surprised that and we didn't get another look based on the one look that we saw I mean Bryson Nesbitt was going down it looks like it hits the hands I mean perhaps it's between the hands but the replay officials certainly have more angles than we saw just there right but it doesn't end up matter because Drake man's able to pick up the first half here is May tried to make a quick throw of it and it is ruled a fumble and Duke has recovered are now flagged incomplete oh it is a fumble and recovered by Shaka Hayward the headlinesman came in signaling incomplete Gary Patterson confirms a fumble Dooku entered the ball game number two in the country and fumble recoveries Roddy gets one here well Caleb Hood's elbow just knocks it out and it's a bit of Misfortune for Carolina the hand clearly empty as Drake May starts to come forward it's a good call by Gary Patterson the ball out and Rob Smith's defense they forced the punt now they get a turnover Duke's got great field position sure do they're going to review the play for the time being the Blue Devils looked like they have it near Carolina's 35. defense getting offensive George Travis hit by Miles Murphy Taylor Davis recovers it would set up a dju touchdown Clemson leads 24-14 ebac and EJ have not spoken since kickoff of course and there's no breaking news there is there where is it no they're in their separate rooms watching right look for them yeah more coming up at the half with the ACC huddle after the fumble Duke takes over plus territory Carolina 33. and on the edge this is Jordan Waters flag thrown behind as Waters has brought down at the 16. neighborhood of a hole perhaps against the Blue Devils number 63 offers 10-yard penalty repeat first now that's on Jacob monk who's starting at left guard for Maurice McIntyre [Applause] you're going to see 63 right here that's where the hold's gonna be Defender trying to release she's got Cedric gray kind of around the shoulder pad it's not much but it's so long that I think he uh that's where he gets called and Jacob Mock's done an excellent job after Maurice McIntyre went down he bumps out to Right Guard chance Lytle flips over to the left side Jack Burns slides in but monk has been one of those guys who is greeted out the highest on this offensive line a real leader a captain for this team Samir Higgins Nikki dalmolin to the left side two receivers Moore and Calhoun here to the right Leonard wants to run tries to slip spins through and Riley Leonard to the 30. and we go under four minutes second down coming up for the Blue Devils don't forget coming up tonight 11 Eastern following our coverage approximately the ACC huddle crew the complete wrap-up of our game here at Durham the whole day in the conference highlights analysis interviews you name it Jordan cornette Eric McLean E.J Manuel Coach Rick and our ACC Network Studios Enoch and EJ usually sit next to each other you think they're doing that today no sir not right now they may have earlier today here's Leonard now second now and a half dozen he'll handle Waters Running Room to the left side and a first down for Duke Big Lick from Cameron Kelly but a Blue Devil first down Duke only has one time out by the way as we wind our way down this first half yeah Mike OKO having to use the other two earlier let's have this hit though by Cameron Kelly or watch out if you'd have made contact with the helmet there with the crown of the helmet the head was down would have been targeting so just it's probably a coaching point for later on gets away with one there but how about Duke I mean they get behind the chains and they're still able to get a couple of plays get it first down without having to get to a third down that's Calhoun in the orbit water slips through the tackle behind the line Kelly another tackle this one at the 14-yard line and we've got an injured Tar Heel in the secondary [Music] and it is Cedric gray the linebacker who is shaken up this game or even after that would be a huge loss for Carolina I mean he's the heart and soul in the middle of that defense you Empower Echoes and and to be honest behind them they haven't played a whole there's guys behind them haven't played a whole lot Round Rock Dilworth played 50 snaps this year Randy Caldwell's only played 10. oh wow a teammate yeah figures hope that he's all right sometimes those are scarier than they are painful like you get an initial thing of pain and and then you just lay down to make sure you're okay you do the check the uh the checklist my ankle okay I can move it I mean okay can I move it well Duke has taken the moment to huddle let's check with Taylor Riley Leonard this past week coming off the Georgia Tech game which he said was his word said I think it actually made me more competitive because I hated how it felt so much he said if I had made fewer mistakes I believe we would have won that game it's up to me to put our team in better situations and how I do that is not forcing as much he said I know I'm capable with my legs but I have to be smarter so that everyone around me is more effective he's done a really nice job of that today Taylor there were some missed throws in that game responded late construction is really built on that momentum today so now second down in three Leonard again will offer Waters the football and he will dive toward the 10. I think that's enough for the first down Roddy mentioned rah-rah Dilworth he's the guy that helped out on the tackle and now North Carolina has taken a time out as we go inside of two minutes here could be enough for the first down but and it is at the 10-yard line don't forget coming up tomorrow Sunday Best on acc Network features a volleyball doubleheader one o'clock Eastern time Notre Dame welcomes Virginia Tech to South Bend then at three Syracuse and North Carolina both matches right here part of Sunday Best on acc Network always available for you on the ESPN app he was smart of Mack Brown to take a timeout he's got a quick strike offense you're trying to give that offense enough time to work no matter what happens at the end of this team after a hot start as soon as he's been disjointed especially offensively they haven't really strung together but the one drive other than that dude Stephen's done a nice job against him and then defensively he got a lot to figure out keeping contain is probably the biggest thing because Duke's had a lot of success out there on the edge Blue Devils already with 184 yards of Russian they average just better than 190 a game this season but here goes more to the edge inside the five tackled at the two close to another Blue Devil first down behind the hard run of sophomore jacquez Moore Ronnie it feels like we've seen over and over Duke be able to reach the defensive ends of Carolina and then there's nobody outside the number of times where Duke's been able to get out on the perimeter with a blocker out in front has to be top of mind for Gene chizik as they go into halftime because they've been absolutely carved up I mean watch The Edge there Desmond Evans gets pinned down you get two guys coming across power Echoes goes under the block and the center Jack Jack Burns is able to get up to a safety Camron Kelly and that's been happening over and over and over [Applause] Gene chizik at halftime you're gonna have to figure out a way either with alignment or maybe trying to slant to the field a little bit to make Duke turn back towards power echoes and whoever's in there with them whether it's Rara Dilworth or if we see Cedric gray come back in jacquez Moore in the ball game second and short sorry Russ yep bow Mullen in motion they're going to handle more reroutes breaks the plane touchdown Duke had a shot at him but couldn't break him couldn't get to him Rodney before he crossed the strike Tom I think he did get a slant by the Carolina defense to the field but they over commit more slips behind him he goes out the back door a little bit and he's able to get in the end zone and how about this Duke offense we talked all week about the Carolina offense would Duke be able to keep up the better offense on the field tonight has been in Black jaquez Moore his second rushing score of the Year Charlie Hamm to make it an 11 point game yourself [Music] Duke offensive line moves a big defensive line for Carolina Desmond Evans avoids the block but he's on the back side there's only so much he can do how about jacquez Moore I think this running back room for Duke is a little bit underrated they've got a bunch of guys Jalen Coleman not playing tonight but Jordan Waters in here too youngster talk was more in the first one carries more form a really talented group that Kevin Jones has been able to take advantage of and they are swag surfing Trooper Taylor's involved yes sir he's always he brings the swag all the time he brings the rib three touchdowns and four Blue Devil possessions here in the first half Roddy [Music] I think the way they've done it too is is the most impressive with long sustained drives there'll be no return Carolina will have one time out and 98 seconds to go in this first half [Applause] all right if you're Carolina Duke's going to get the ball first in the second half so cutting it to 21-17 I think is Big obviously getting a field goal you would take it but after that first drive for Carolina which ended had the big play and then in the field goal they had the long 11 play drive but since then nine plays puns and then the fumble yep three plays and a fumble and now from the 25 May who's thrown for 117 gets his eighth completion in 13 throws and it's a gain out to the 32-yard line by Bryson Nesbitt I like the easy pitching catch to get started electric quarterback see one in the hands of his receiver here's another one this is hood on the receiving end first down and Caleb Hood High steps out of bounds to the 43. Joshua will pick it there for the Blue Devils closer to Midfield I would not be surprised to see Carolina take a shot down the field they've had some success getting past these two corners Blue Devils only rushed three and that is off the hands thrown slightly behind nesma the intended receiver Shaka Hayward was tracing nesbitt's steps the Blue Devil linebacker yeah and just another example of Carolina the the quarterback Jake May in the receivers not on the same page Drake expecting them to sit Bryson Nesbitt continuing in a little bit further little game management here by Gary Patterson's team they his unit they've got to get the ball spotted properly to the 43. [Applause] Blue Devils again Rush three Bay shoots it for downs and he'll be tackled at the 47. Mack Brown has a timeout as we work toward a minute to go I think they're okay right now just working with their tempo [Applause] [Music] another quick snap here's May to his right now he'll pump and die for what should be the first down at the Blue Devil 47-yard line they will stop the clock to move the chains Rivers was involved in tripping up Drake May foreign here's May pumps now looks deep shot Antoine green inside the 10 keeps his feet steps out of bounds he was able to they measure it to the 12 Roddy terrific catch by Antoine green well it's a great catch and he's actually forced out of bounds well out of bounds pushes himself back in the field of play catches it right ahead of Joyner getting there they tried to go cover two the receipt the the DB excuse me the corner did a nice job of forcing him to the sideline but that made him so wide that Darius Joyner couldn't quite get over there in time here is May to his left he will keep it at the ten the five and nicely step out of bounds did not go to the air Roddy I was holding my breath I thought he was going to jump from the five after what we saw a week ago against Virginia Tech but again that's been part of the conversation with Drake May hey you have to be smart about when you decide to do those things you are the quarterback of this team get out of bounds you'll have more opportunities to get the ball in the engine so first or second down and about two and a half May cannot take a side we'll throw it through the back of the end zone incomplete he was being forced by Michael Reese in the pocket it's great defense by Duke they have those three tight ends in the game again all lined up to the same side they were trying to slip Caleb Hood into the flat behind him with those three blocking let's say he races but nice first half this guy's done a nice job you're right they took out John copenhaver still got two of the tight ends in the slot to the top of the screen Nesbit and Kamari Morales Josh Downs alone to the bottom here is May field kind of opening up for him rolls to the right shoots it to the End Zone it is caught is it a touchdown it is for Caleb Hood foreign [Applause] statement this first half offensively to get back into Rhythm Mike Elko disappointed but this Carolina offense is as explosive as any there's a little bit of the discussion there it looked like about going for two between Mac Brown and Sparky woods but he likes to pick the extra point and the kick is good it's a four-point game but another look at May's second TD pass got the catch by the running back hands catch on the sideline two feet inbounds that's a catch on Sundays Wes but the understanding by Caleb hood that when his quarterback starts to scramble to the same side come back down towards the pylon check the feet out boom right there two feet inbounds that's excellent two feet touchdown who says running backs can't catch we can play receiver too nine plays 75 yards minute 25. may now with two touchdown passes Roddy gives him 23. Will Rogers of Mississippi State playing tonight in Lexington against Kentucky at 22. CJ Stroud by the way has the weekend off at 24. I know he still might throw a touchdown pass this weekend even against bye week yeah that offense has been going yeah probably somewhere in Southern California just swinging touchdown but that's that's the danger of leaving time on the clock at any time for this Carolina offense but that drive was sort of quintessential Carolina offense the quarterback using his legs you had a deep shot down the field in Drake maker [Applause] ball is skipped at the five and Stenson making the move back up the field banged out of Bounds at the 25 26-yard line Will Hardy the tackle for Carolina freshman from Lawrenceville Georgia 38 points in this first half right it's been wall-to-wall now oh it's been fun and we expected offense I don't know if we expected Duke offense to be the one on the front foot but Mike elko's defense I thought it played pretty well in the first half All Things Considered forcing a punt early on creating a turnover yep and so this Duke team a lot to talk about going into the half but this is this was a first half that was incredibly look we've been talking a lot about the Rivalry it was incredibly exciting and it certainly lived up to what this rivalry has been hopefully hit a second half that's much the same yeah Mack Brown the Tar Heels will watch Duke get the football to start the half and lead by four will Mike elko's team Riley levels who have the four-point lead and I just said to you a moment ago it feels big feels like it's an important possession really for both schools it does I think for Duke you have to continue to extend this lead to two scores so that Carolina feels like they're chasing the game constantly putting pressure on that crew and putting pressure on that Carolina defense to make stops or Chet's kick to start will bounce through the end zone the Blue Devils will start from their 25. let's check in Taylor Davis with Matt Brown a moment ago all right coach you mentioned to us this week Riley Leonard's athleticism he showed that early how is he challenging your group he's running the ball he's ready for 120 yards 74 on one play the biggest difference in this ball game we haven't stopped the run like we had to they've had the ball a lot more than we have so they're keeping us off the field offensively and the two plays are the turnover that led to seven points and the 74-yard quarterback draw so that's 14 point swing so for us to win this game we've got to stop the run and we can't let we can't let quarterback meet us we can't let 13 meters your offense took advantage of that last ride before half how do you continue the momentum well that was a great uplifting drive for us because he gave his chance got us back in the ball game gave us a lot of momentum going into half so this first drive second half's really important thank you thank you well and on the first play panko catches a 14-yard shot from Leonard so Duke looking at a First and Ten and it's 39. and Duke's game plan has worked to Perfection not necessarily bleeding the play clock but not working with any sort of urgency offensively shortening the game here is Waters trying to get to the perimeter and Cedric gray hits him behind the line it'll be a loss of one that's where Duke had a lot of success in the first half on those runs to the outside trying to get to the edge of the Carolina Defense number 10 Desmond Evans does a nice job of leveraging the football and forcing it back in to those linebackers it's a really nice job by the defense of getting keeping leverage and forcing the ball back inside two by two look here for Leonard [Applause] he'll dump it to Waters trying to get to the corner flag Throne he's taken down at the 42 by Gray and a penalty on Duke gonna gets Jacob number 63 offense 10-yard penalty repeat second down well it's it's a nice job by the defender power Echoes so here's 63 Jacob monk he's going to come out and block power Echoes he's kind of ducks down and only gives him his back so it forces him to push him in the back and it's pretty obvious blocking the back got a pretty good sales job by gray or Echoes rather oh when you're running like that you get shoved in the back and doors you off now it may be a little bit Moore has come into the game jacquez more the running back here's Leonard trying to go again with his feet Carolina handles that nicely Javari ritzy Roddy stayed home to stop the quarterback run he did a nice job of pushing the pocket a little bit and then folding back under the as he's defensive lineman continue to rush the past you sort of get a feel for the passers Rhythm for the quarterback's rhythm did a really nice job there folding back closing the hole and forcing Duke into a third long background talked about the importance of this drive this play feels really big for this Carolina defense Duke was two of three in the first half on third down Leonard pressure coming this is panko trying to find a running Lane and knocked out of Bounds at the 40. rah-rah Dilworth who did not play in the last couple of ball games for the Tar Heels makes the stop here what's at the bottom of your screen the absolute destruction of the block by Cedric gray forces another Duke offensive lineman to come out and he absolutely throws Nikki down Mullen Jack Burns has to get out there and block him but Bill was able to clean it up four plays and a punt here's Porter Wilson for the first time tonight [Music] Josh Downs at the 12. looking for room at the 15 and no more so Carolina will take over actually at its 14-yard line so we see Leonard for four snaps and here is Drake May back to work for the Tar Heels and here are the QB numbers Roddy yeah Drake may as you can see has done his mostly through the air Carolina only had the ball for 11 minutes and 34 seconds in that first half so they've been sort of choked of the ball because of Riley Leonard's success 109 yards 74 of those coming on one play there was also a sack in there as well Riley Leonard has been incredibly efficient missed the force down the fourth down throw but that really the only mistake Drive will start with a handoff here's Caleb hood and he picks up almost eight on first downs so put a seven yard run Tar Heels underway Tyler guys a slight dude defensive uh injury update quarterback Dave from Young is actually spending some time in the medical tent right now they're tending to his ankle looks like he's getting extra wrap put on it so he is out of this one right now made a throw on second down in traffic tough catch Bryson Nesbitt hangs on pretty big collision at the 32 with Jalen Stinson young out of the game to make some really young at corner Joshua Pickett a sophomore and Chandler river is a true freshman May wanted to cut that loose now Dwayne Carter's got him and will sack him and a flag will be thrown for the takedown personal foul unnecessary roughness number 90 defense 15-yard penalty automatic first down Carter and Mike Elko neither guy particularly happy here I thought I thought Dwayne Carter did obviously a nice job of getting to the quarterback [Applause] and he's trying to take that's not that's not roughing the passer I mean Drake Made doesn't even hit the ground he hits Carter right it's on uh you know I obviously understand protecting quarterbacks but from what you saw with Grady Jarrett last weekend in the NFL or Chris Jones on Monday night Chris Jones on Monday night and now that one I mean the refs are almost asking for it with some of these roughing the passer penalties or unnecessary roughness pillows Dwayne Carter has to take the quarterback down to the ground does It Slam him does it land on him he actually lands on top of Dwayne Carter that's a that's a bad call here is Hood after the penalty move the football to the 47. Caleb Hood gets almost six it'll be to the 48 to five yard run for Hood into Duke territory and now this Duke defense has to rebound they were pretty good in The Limited Sports in the first half gave up some big plays but forced to Carolina punt we're fortunate on the turnover there's may now he'll move here to the left and Keith first down steps out of bounds near the 39. so another first down for Carolina and Drake make Roddy one more thought on the QB thing I understand we're talking about health and safety I get all that right and and some of this is coming off things that have happened in the NFL in relationship to to talk about low and others right but we're now making a play that we knew the parameters of three weeks ago subjective and the quarterbacks are big and they're athletic and you have to be able to take them to the ground if you don't want them to blow the whistle earlier and then it won't happen good got blasted head on by Darius Joyner and Shaka Hayward no gain on the play it'll be second and ten you see Caleb Hood come out and Elijah green has come into the ball game remember Omarion Hampton who normally is the second guy to Tron up there had the illegal Blind Side Block in the first quarter freshman mistake opted to go with Elijah Greenman and Elijah green who was probable coming in now they're going to take the shot for downs and Josh Downs holds on the one another big time catch by downs one of the most underrated parts of Josh Down's game is his ability to make contested catches down the field it's a great throw by Drake May putting it on the outside shoulder and then Josh Downs goes up high points the football makes the catch and Elijah green punches in the touchdown just like that Carolina takes their first possession of the second half Tar Heels have the lead [Applause] that's what Carolina likes to do after these big plays they Temple you quick to the ball quick snap plunge it into the end zone [Applause] Phil Longo's crew in their first possession of the second half takes the lead seven plays 86 yards in 245. foreign after from Burnett makes it a three-point Tar Heel lead Ronnie Drake Made to Josh Downs has come up big for them over and over the contested catch by Downs a tough one fading away towards the sideline and then the plunge In The End Zone by Elijah green takes the lead for the Tar Heels Elijah Green's first career touchdown on his 30th career carry as a tar heel has given Carolina the lead bernetto kick it away and Stenson will watch it fly over his head so the Blue Devils will start their second possession of the second half there 25. and a moment ago Josh Downs another terrific play Roddy set up the Elijah green touchdown and what a magical season a year ago right yeah led the league in receptions with 101 local league and targets with 144 last season both of those won ahead of Jordan Addison and he's been banged up this year missed a couple of games but this catch set up that Carolina touchdown and it's part of his game that I don't think he gets enough credit for his ability to go up High Point the football bring it down his dad of course Gary Downs the great former NC State star in the early 90s here on the perimeter and this is Terry Moore The Freshman from Washington North Carolina going to work but he can't get very far on the perimeter throw from Riley Leonard Giovanni Biggers nice job excuse me DeAndre Boykins that was nice job defeating the block out there on the perimeter Force Moore back in and I'm sure this defense had to look themselves in the mirror with their performance in the first half they've made some strides in the past couple weeks but Duke really did a nice job not only of being able to run the ball with the running backs but the quarterback run game was Big Four yep there's Leonard a couple of claps throw to Calhoun slips the first tackle first down Duke Jalen Calhoun fights to the 41 before power Echols finally gets him on the ground 16-yard throw part of the Improvement is this Carolina defensive made was in tackling but it Peaks it creeps up again right here the inability to bring down a really talented receiver and Jalen Calhoun makes a couple guys miss Ed four power Echoes eventually wrangles and Floyd Leonard pushed that ball in there too Roddy the short passing game they've come to that a couple of times in the second half and that's what keeps this Duke offense on schedule ball at the 41. Blue Devils trying to answer the Carolina touchdown a moment ago Leonard to his left pressure coming throws an incomplete DeAndre Boykins has become a factor and now flagg's going to be thrown what is this going to be going low on the tackle went too low yeah which is I mean that one that one's in the rule Board of the law not in a passing posture at the time of the path wow flag's going to be picked up because he was out of the pocket you're not afforded those same protections and honestly I think he hits them just above the knee and then sort of slides down and that's what makes these things so difficult but out of the pocket so no uh no penalty for roughing the pass right now [Applause] stay second and ten for the Blue Devils [Music] four and out on their first possession Leonard looking quick throw inside that got broken up on the way to Jordan Moore and that was storm duck so Russ on that on that roughing the passer penalty that was picked up we're being told you could hear it because of the referee like we're being told that he said that the passer was not in the process of passing when that happened so a little confusion still going forward wanting to pass that along but it either way it sets up Duke on a fourth down excuse me a third down right near Midfield at a place where they may be in four down territory that's hagin's in motion Carolina bringing five Leonard a quick throw and the catch is made Jalen Calhoun holds on at the 46 of the Blue Devils so it's about fourth and five here Roddy and it looks like Porter Wilson's going to come to the field for a pot as DeAndre Boykins took Calhoun out of bounds they're going to send out the punt team and I'm a little surprised I am too especially you know Carolina's going to heat up offensively the the path to winning this game for Duke is keeping the offense on the field I'm a little surprised too that they opted uh they're opting to park ends at the 11th Porter Wilson flips it over Josh will run forward and signal for the fair catch he got hit Flags go down Duke recovered the deflection it looked like Jordan Moore was involved in the collision with Downs that brought the flag to say that he was pushed into him it was a late fair catch call by Downs regardless of that he's afforded the protection of a fair Catch that is clearly their hands are on them I would say that qualifies as a push in he's trying to avoid moving on the field there's no kick catching interference as the defender was kicked into the receiver we have the legal touching the ball was first touched by the kicking team it will be North Carolina's ball First and Ten to the spot of illegal touching obiac Bona pushed more into Downs Mack Brown's team has the ball when we continue everybody's wrapped in a little controversy yeah this is the Dwayne Carter play where he's called for roughing the passer excuse me a Necessary Roughness uh he didn't agree with it I didn't agree with it but Carolina took advantage of it Drake May just like he's been doing all year using his legs if he passed to Josh Downs where Downs goes up and gets it over near the sideline and then Elijah green plunges one yard into the end zone one carry one touchdown it's pretty good work for a running back yep Tar Heels with a three-point lead Duke had five plays and the pot on their second possession so may and the Tar Heels gonna go back to work off their 22. Miami already a winner their one and one in the Coastal Division Pittsburgh not playing today they have a loss on the Coastal Division Duke has a loss in the Coastal Division Carolina trying to take hold ing their third ACC win if they can find a way tonight hood on the little route to the flat on the far side of the field picks up four second and six will be the next play for Carolina you know if the Duke has really played from ahead the entire game this is a big stop for this Duke defense Carolina go up by certainly two scores there's May another pitch this is Hood turning the corner Caleb Hood knocked out of bounds and just shy of the first down up to 31 by Darius Jordan told us that Caleb Hood really started to separate himself from the other guys in that room with his balance plays just show him out when he's healthy he is very good Carolina four for six tonight on third down Drake may open field and Shaka Hayward will tackle him at the 46 and a flag comes down and it's going to be on the Tar Heels holding number 11 offense 10-yard penalty from the spot of the foul repeat third down okay the foul occurs the marker was at the 46. this should be like third and four I think well I know because if the play occurred at the 46th that did he achieve the first down pulls him down yeah it's first down here you go so spot foul does cost Carolina 10 yards but may had already eclipsed the first down green has come back in to spell Hood [Applause] and here is Elijah green flag thrown as he breaks Midfield to the 47 but pickis is another hold on Carolina Pick at the tackle holding offense number 52 10-yard penalty repeat first now Jonathan adorno you see the Right Guard right here Jonathan adorno that's who they called it on see trying to disengage and arm around [Music] I can become a little bit of a sloppy game here in the second half a little choppy with all the flags being thrown yeah each team missing a starter in the offensive line tonight William Barnes not going to thorno of a start for the Tar Heels here's May going to take the shot and under throw there's JJ Jones who quite frankly had turned the corner against Pickett the play was not designed to go to this side but Carolina's done a nice job whether the ball's being thrown to him or not of running by these defensive backs of Duke that ball just under thrown drink made knew it too as soon as they seize that ball hit the ground he was pretty bummed about that throw Drake's 15-23 231 a couple of scores tonight [Applause] May will keep it and Shaka Hayward The Tackle right around the 33-yard line that'll leave Carolina third and a Dozen now the question is what can rob Smith do what can he dial up as Carolina goes with Tempo they did not sub Duke is trying to substitute [Applause] see how many of the Blue Devils bring here six in the Box Tar Heels giving him a chance to find their feet here's May eludes the rush of mouse he throws caught Antoine green first down to the 49. in traffic Antoine green holds on Dwayne Carter The Tackle and he's slow to his feet for the Blue Devils and we're going to get a timeout [Applause] they're going to check on Dwayne Carter Carolina converts the first down [Music] 4 31 to go here in the third Drake May a little worse for the wearer maybe Roddy Darius Joyner here a moment ago on a after the play and on the ground you see number one a little step on the hand yeah I'm gonna call that unintentional but it's a rivalry game here is May from the pocket looping for downs and he holds on at the 20-yard line holy smokes what a grab by Josh Downs Jalen Stinson I thought had terrific coverage he did and Josh Downs just once again goes up and he's so good at high point of the football when the defensive back has their back turn he'll be okay though came off the field quickly 31-yard play Elijah green inside the 10 to the five and a second career touchdown for green foreign [Applause] feels like it's got its Rhythm back feels like it's got its mojo back a little bit after being starved of the football in the first half having a couple of mistakes a self-inflicted wound with a turnover here in the second half they have been hitting on all cylinders Burnett for the point 21 straight by the Tar Heels Roddy we need plays to be made this Carolina team Josh Downs has made it made them his entire career great ball skills to go up and secure it and that's just the strong hands incredible athletic ability leaping ability High pointing the football bring it down and then the Run by Elijah green running over a couple of Defenders getting in the end zone Carolina offense the running the football they've sort of gotten it they've done a good job of getting back into it during this game and that's a strong run by Elijah green great balance great feel to kind of roll off of that tackle and get in the end zone well while Carolina's Run game has started to click Duke's Run game that was surging the Blue Devils in half one only has two yards here at half two and go back to the last Drive of the first half it was massive for Carolina get that touchdown that 21 unanswered 14 of those in the third quarter seven of those right before halftime in a very efficient methodical drive down the field to get in the end zone there give yourself a good feeling going into halftime regroup come out defense got to stop and now the offense a couple stops from the defense and now the offense is really rolling Barnett has Samir Hagens waiting and there will not be a return by the Blue Devils so their third possession of the second half will start from the 25. don't forget when we're done here tonight ACC huddle after dark if you will post game Jordan cornette emac E.J Manuel we'll see how that relationship stands with Mark richt the way the score of the game has gone EJ's got a lot of time to figure out his feelings highlights analysis interviews you name it they'll have you covered the ACC huddle is right here on acc Network and always available to you on the ESPN app are you saying that whatever the wager was leans towards emac at this moment he's got the whole fourth quarter to to work himself through the stages of grief but 34-14 at GameStop wow here is Leonard and Duke trying to get started Calhoun a catch and then storm duck the stop after a throw of nine to Jalen Calhoun 39th career start tonight Calhoun's going to go over 2 000 career snaps tonight as a blue devil it's quite a lot of football and I think this year big Don probably the best job of his career of getting him the football consistently I think Kevin Jones has done fantastic making sure that his impact players on the perimeter have impacted the game all season six catches 55 yards tonight for the Greenville South Carolina native here's Leonard from the snap long throw and almost picked Tony Grimes was targeting a ball for Nikki Del Mullen Sports just kind of hung up for Riley Leonard it's a little bit of a throw that you take for granted he kind of throws it off platform slings it you've got to really drive that football to the outside Tony Grimes had a great shot to pick it off would have been a tough pick diving for the football for the dangerous throw by Riley Leonard third and one you see Foley and down Mullen now split and he's not going to get it Carolina who is a swinging door against the Duke Run game in the first half as all of a sudden locked things up Cedric gray the first guy on the Chrome helmet there it's the perfect way to play a counter play you get two pullers coming from the back side Cedric gray just works whole to whole Gap to cap Walter here he's in the middle right there watch him work across finds a hole explodes through it and Duke's keeping the offense on the field I think you have to in this situation you're downtown Carolina's cooking offensively Leonard will work from under Center they're going to toss Waters trying to get to the edge and we'll get there Biggers and Boykins were the first two Tar Heels there Roddy you go back to the other fourth down decision where they decided to punt it Carolina drives on the field and scores who said it then the way to win this game for Duke is with your offense on the field you can't keep giving Carolina turns added this was just a nice play by the defense you get bigger slipping underneath able to get in the backfield Boykins excuse me able to slip under that block and get out there and then Biggers cleans it up it's a great play by Carolina on defense into Elijah green up two boy Mike Elko a long look for the 45 year old native of South Brunswick New Jersey name Duke's 22nd head coach and a guy who has got a blueprint for success in his career who waited a long time to be a head coach he knows that that's that might not paying famous a Flea Flicker for May trying to get Morales and incomplete [Applause] for Barry Morales ran a long way on the flea flipper Oh Carolina going for The Knockout Punch little Razzle Dazzle Hood to Downs back to May guy in his face Morales would have had a shot made just a little too far out of bounds it's a police record a little double reverse pass [Applause] until Longo Carolina six of eight on third down here's May in trouble he'll be socked Blue Devils come up with the sack out of the secondary Brandon Johnson [Applause] [Music] gonna get pressure from the right side Johnson's kind of lined up right over the guard and sometimes those smaller guys give guards troubles offensive lineman trouble because they can get down so low that sack pushes Carolina the No Man's Landing setting up a field goal team Noah Burnett it is a 47 yarder at Appalachian States is his longest kick as a tar heel this is 51 and three-quarter yards and on the way and no good missed it to the left what a stop for Rob Smith screw in that Duke defense so massive your your defense of your offense goes for it and your defense comes up with a big stop it's huge and there's been a lot of talk about analytics and decision making you're kind of backed up so you had to do it there but part of the thing that's factored into it is the percentage chance that your defense gets a stop forces a field goal attempt and it misses and Mac disappointed that his offense wasn't able to put the game Out Of Reach by putting it in the end zone yeah so still long ago too Roddy yeah so Duke takes over and it's 34. jaquez more the running back remember Jalen Coleman is a no-go tonight missing his second straight game for the Blue Devils best field position to start a drive and Moore trying to get free and power heckles takes him down I know Carolina is without one of you know you've got a list of favorites in this league right I mean let's just be honest you do we follow the league every week we mostly knows cards talk about Ray bahasik is one of your favorite players in the league right and he has been for it seems like 10 years yeah that's how long he's been out well Fair Point here's a throw Leonard coming back near side heck of a catch the grab by Malik Bowen Sims to Second catch of the year and the tenth of his Duke career Ray bahasig I know was one of your favorites I'm gonna guess that the power Eccles has moved on to the Ronnie Jones list our echo's up there man just feels like an old school linebacker and he's Duke ends up running in the second 16 plays just better than 40 yards Roddy in the uh third quarter for the Blue Devils Riley Leonard 106 rush yards in the first half only three after halftime Midfield First and Ten start quarter four Leonard to throw and that ball is caught but out of bounds to Jordan Moore that was fired into the Tar Heel bench so suck it down in 10. Carolina 165 of offense in quarter three duke had 68. the Duke Run game hasn't been nearly as effective in the second half you got to create a gene chizik and his crew yep [Applause] that's Bowen Sims in motion play fake here's Leonard looking for help fires it back for download a terrific grab against DeAndre Boykins Nikki Del Mullen pulls in a 30-yarder look at the quarterback rolling out to the left off the play action now Mullen slips across the formation and then up the field gets a step on DeAndre Boykins and it makes a fantastic catch High Point in the football for what we've seen a couple really nice catches from Josh downs and now a really good run from Nikki damola downfield and had eight catches including a touchdown at Georgia Tech that got the game to overtime last week in the last three games here's the Leonard gonna throw for the End Zone Hagans caught it touchdown Duke [Applause] how about this Duke offense a couple shots down the field to start the fourth quarter and they're able to put the ball in the end zone Kevin John's crew is not going away quietly and Mike Elko has to be proud of what his offense the response that his offense just gave Charlie Hamm to add the point to cut it back to a three-point game early in the fourth the victory bell hanging in the balance in the Blue Devils answer terrific throw Riley Leonard first to DAL Mullen and then dials Samir Higgins Duke to within three when we continue from Wallace Wade to the year he had three receptions in the last three games and Duke on the board for the first time since late in the second quarter Roddy it was a big one it was a statement certainly a booster momentum for the State team and there will be a return by Hampton 20 25 and out to the 28 goes the Freshman of Mario and Hampton and another look this is the touchdown Samir Higgins who's going to go on a slant and go and when he does it watch at the top of the route the eyes of Tony Grimes Frieza right there guys you get the eyes inside meanwhile Hagens is Wheeling up the boundary and he's going to be wide open Riley Leonard does a nice job with the throw places it right where it needs to be and then check the eyes of Riley Leonard looks at the safety make sure he got to it he's got what he likes with a little pump fake and he knows it when he lets it go that he's likely got a touchdown Megan's had a punt return for a score in Atlanta last Saturday it's tonight at home and another delay a game on Carolina to start a possession second time that's happened tonight it's an operational thing that Matt Brown has to get fixed and these officials aren't their job isn't so late for you to start the play clock [Music] 8th penalty 61 yards tonight on Carolina [Applause] and Caleb Hood gets bottled up after a gain of maybe two Darius Joyner Jamie and Franklin another name transfer from a couple of years ago who led Duke and socks coming into tonight [Music] now you can empty the backfield has time shoots it for Downs what a catch in traffic with Brandon Johnson hanging on it at the 31. it's a great catch I want to point out the play that Darius Joyner made though but he had an opportunity to clean up Downs on the back end watch one come into your picture he's going to pull off and not make the play dude those are the types of plays that targeting has taken out of the game nice job by Joyner Hood will be tackled in bounds at the 34 and we got a flag again here behind the play it's against Carolina for a hold Mike elko's got to decide he's going to decline number 65 offense that penalty is reflect decline it would be fourth out [Applause] a little too far back for Matt Brown you're gonna look on the left side of your screen a spin there by Carter pulled down to the ground not ground gonna send out the punt team you know these are the situations where the the you consider all the inputs consider what the book says about going forward in this situation consider the way you're feeling about your offense the way your defense is playing Mac Brown elects the pawn Calhoun will wait on the Kiernan punt and from the 18 here's Jalen Calhoun back for three yards to the 21. 48-yard putt minimal return Duke Trails three with the ball when we come back 26 heading to The Far Side Geo at the 35 steals he's at the 50. no he's not yes he is me [Applause] hard to believe it's 10 years ago Jones Angel the radio call on the Tarheel Sports Network that was the debut of the chrome helmets Roddy and chrome helmets became a thing yeah they did don't wear them often but they brought them out tonight for the battle of the victory bell and of course State Carolina's a thing Duke State don't get played enough will in the nuke scheduling format right and of course this tonight the battle for the victory bell the 109th meeting between the two first down play for the Blue Devils Terry Moore who is put some moments here tonight picks up about four to the 25 second and six we've not seen Riley Leonard nearly as involved in the Run game as he was in the first half I'm Kevin John's fun picker spots [Music] [Applause] after the letter to Hagan's touchdown Duke forces Carolina their first three and out now second and six and trying to get more fired up in the run game again close to a first down and we'll have it if the spot is true Tony Grimes on the stop near the 32-yard line so Duke is back kind of to the ground game here Roddy that was paying off so well for him in half one and Andre Harrison right tackle just pushes Cayman Rucker up the field to create a little bit of a hole for those pullers to wrap around and get a game for a first down [Applause] Leonard throws batted away Tar Heels got Giovanni Biggers there in coverage on the ball for down bowling trying to get a just a couple yard few yard game on first down it's another one of those where there was a really good coverage and it can be a little bit of a dangerous throw with Biggers right there only able to get one hand over and knock it down but he was all over that second in the full 10 here for Duke [Applause] Leonard will try and get something out of it maybe to the 34. just shy of the 34 for third down Raleigh Leonard may have failed a little early on that one the pocket was good they had the blitz picked up you got a nickel Blitz in the running back looked like he was going to have a shot to contact UM Leonard saw some space decided to go but miles Murphy did a good job sort of pushing him towards the sideline now you're going to get a third and third and nine pushed up three to the field panko to the boundary top of your screen the letter to throw in traffic caught coming across the field Eli panko first down Duke and Carolina territory at the 38. 28 yards it's just a simple shallow cross coming across the field these are police that zone coverage Leonard does a good job of maneuvering in the pocket able to deliver an accurate ball check this out guy Noah Taylor in his face he knows he's going to get hit still puts it on the sixth of Eli pankel who gets up the field they raved about his competitiveness and his Drive Leonard 213 yards down 18-25. he's been a factor in the Run game they're going to double reverse try to flip it back more drops it incomplete for Duke they ought to be glad Terry Moore dropped it or else they're probably going to lose Ronnie close to 10 yards this is the best case scenario for Duke it's the exact same play we saw from Carolina you get the reverse Flea Flicker and then it's covered well down the field worked out well for Duke actually by Terry Moore dropping it before Javari ritzy almost single-handedly destroyed the play for Carolina defensively [Music] it's an impressive looking defensive line for Carolina they are big there's Waters trying to find room spins back steps through 15-10 five touchdown Duke in front [Applause] 38 yards what an incredible run by Jordan Waters this play is dead to right and Carolina fans around the country expressing their frustrations not just the ones in the stadium to make it a four-point game with 10-12 to go Charlie hams point is good but we got a thing now don't we [Applause] how about the swings of this game Duke was down 10. they stormed score 14 straight watch the cutback Carolina's got it wrangled a missed tackle there a wise sort of top on the shoulder downfield by Eli panko Jordan Waters Sprints into the end zone but the vision and the athleticism to cut back some poor tackling on the Carolina Tar Heels front and Moore ends up in the end zone second touchdown run of the night for Waters he scored the first Duke touchdown on a two-yard run and now he's scored from 38. Duke had two yards of rushing in quarter three Roddy they hit 51 on that drive yeah getting back to it and I mean the back and forth nature of of any rivalry game is certainly going to be evident but the Ebbs and flows of this game have been pretty big I mean Duke controlled a lot of the first half the Carolina most for the beginning of the second half but now Duke back in front short kick Hampton juggles it into the end zone [Applause] and it'll be a Touchback Duke thought they had a safety the ball broke the plane into the end zone it'll be a touch back to the 25. and you can you can fumble the ball you can muff the ball into the end zone and still kneel it I'm not sure Omarion Hampton was completely confident in that but fumbling the ball and it goes into the end zone you can still kneel it down and be able to create a Touchback let's go down to Taylor yeah mentioned when this Duke team was down 10 points to start the fourth quarter coaches challenged them for a fourth quarter fight keep in mind they were down their biggest deficit of 14 points to Georgia Tech last week came back and forced overtime they wanted to see fight and they've shown it made for Antoine green who can't hang on the coverage by Pickett on a long throw to Green similar to the one that opened the ball game for Carolina offensively it's a little underthrown by Drake May Antoine green runs right by Joshua Pickett all right and he's probably pass interference too on the back end I mean Green's trying to come back to the ball picking contacts him clearly impedes his ability to catch the football Darius Joyner looks like he's kind of worried about it as well I think dude man gotten away with one there second down 10 ball at the 25. quick throw in the flat here's Elijah green circling to the perimeter and it'll be third and short after Joyner helps him out at the 33. Bryson Nesbitt trying to get green some Running Room the tight end on the perimeter Caleb Hood will come in for third and short and with 9 46 to go and down four Carolina quickly gets lined up here two by two look [Applause] for Carolina getting a chance to see what Duke winds up in defense they had two safeties deep just a second ago now one safety in the middle of the field here is May quick throw Downs drags a foot at the 39 first down that's his best catch of the night because he's got to go up to get this ball while keeping a foot on the ground that is sick that's impressive that is sick but clear it is on the grass drags it that's it that's a that's a football catch right there seven for 103 tonight for Josh Downs oh another reviewer you see the nine targets [Applause] so we'll step aside Gary Patterson to review we're back after this foreign don't forget ACC PM hosted every weekday afternoon Mark Packer Taylor Tannenbaum Trey Boston all the football plus the latest news from around the conference don't forget about Chester in Fuller too fellas weekdays four Eastern ACC p.m on acc Network right here on the ESPN app the catch is confirmed Carolina from the 39 first and 10. trailing four May shoots it again and held on that time by Downs across the 50 to the Duke 49. Josh Downs already with his seventh 100-yard game of his career his second this season he now has eight for 115. May has his fifth career game with over 300 yards tonight Roddy there's a little bit of a feel that that if Carolina is going to do this thing it's going to be going to the best player Josh Down May backing up throws and it's caught Kobe pesor makes his first appearance in the ball game Roddy and makes his 17th catch of the year the throw is impressive because Drake May has a Defender draped all over him and then they catch on the back end by Kobe pesor he's done a nice job this year especially when Josh Downs was out Dwayne Carter the stop here's another throw Pace or the catch out of bounds he only had two catches in the last three ball games coming in he's had two catches on back-to-back plays here tonight I didn't play last week against Miami but come back and started to make an impact now I think Carolina started to line Josh Downs up on this drive alone to the top of the screen to the boundary play fake by May trouble coming throws and incomplete before it bounced into the hands of Dwayne Carter RJ open was draped all over Drake May the question is going to be it this one did not look like the first one where the hand is empty coming forward being a fumble [Music] and I think the arm starts to move forward before that ball comes out I believe yep arm starts to go forward they're going to review it anyway yeah I think they should you convinced simply forward pass previous plays under further review based on the looks that we have seen I don't know how you can overturn the call in the field all right Gary Patterson back to review we check in in a moment 35-31 Duke seven and a half to go into fourth and Roddy Gary Patterson's been looking at this the entire time we've been in commercial breaks have we and we've gone back and forth over and over we saw this look before the break and it looks like as the as the momentum of the hand starts to change the ball is still in his hand but the looks from the front tell a little bit different story that ball looks like when it starts to come forward it's out of his hand I think it stands but we'll see after further review we've determined that it was a fumble immediately recovered by Duke at the at the 38-yard line First and Ten for Duke at the 38-yard line on the right half the Blue Devils calling card rowdy is fumble recoveries and tonight in their seventh game they've recovered two of them and it's the only two turnovers of the ball game the first one is self-inflicted wound by Carolina that one created by the Duke defense we went back and forth on this one it was sort of 51-49 for me I thought it would stand but I mean the ball coming out of the hand before the hand changes momentum it was close it was very close but it goes Duke's way off the 38 down Mullen gets six to the 44 on first down and now you look at where Duke is up four if you can punch this in the end zone and go up 11. it's going to be a tall mountain for Carolina to climb particularly the Carolina defense that hasn't been able to four stops because they would need one down the stretch both going to continue to work the clock as well most schools three timeouts Jordan Waters who's got two touchdown runs including the one that gave Duke the lead a series ago with Leonard here's Waters and right into the mix of Kevin Hester second down and six no gain on the player third down and six no game over play they're down here [Music] third and six if you're Duke I would get something with Riley Leonard on the perimeter where he has the ability to run the football or maybe something quick where he can throw it and then you get give him the ability to take off [Applause] Leonard wants to throw to his right can run for the first down and gets it [Applause] may be the best play Duke had in the first half pays dividends for him in the second half and it kind of looked like Robert dillworth in the Carolina defense anticipated a slide or something looks like they pull off here at the end of the quarterback watch this Carolina Defenders just runs right by him confusing at what he was looking at but Riley Leonard with a big conversion with his legs a dive to the 48 of the Tar Heels Duke by four and now if you're Duke you're thinking we are going to run as much time off the clock as we can while obviously trying to get points on the board that's Calhoun in the orbit Leonard will keep and pick up four to the 44. Desmond Evans the tackle for Carolina and now Carolina's fighting Duke the clock Roddy and the longer this takes for Duke to if Carolina doesn't get a stop here like duper to get another first down right now you're starting to worry about not having the opportunity not having enough time to get two scores in the game Duke's got 476 tonight of total offense Leonard hands Waters first down inside the 35 go the Blue Devils to the Tar Heel 33. Cameron Kelly out of the secondary makes the stop on Jordan Waters right side of that offensive line just caves everything down you can see the eyes of Andre Harris climbing to the next level empowering forward was Jordan Waters [Applause] he's got 77 yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns tonight you see the Run number for Duke [Applause] and Kevin Johns and Mike Elko have got the clock management Roddy at a plus right now yeah they have and they have all game Waters again tries to find some room here's the cutback and he gets thrown out of bounds by Grimes that stops the clock but it only stops the clock briefly the clock will continue to roll because we're not under minutes yep so it doesn't kill you to go out of bounds either way but again Waters with the cutback it's similar to what we saw on the touchdown run after Mack Brown you are really counting on your defense and you might start to think about using your timeouts too right because the clock can go down to about 320 before you snap it here [Applause] 's Leonard this is more and the tackle from ritzy that's jacquesmore look at all sorts of mores Jacquees Moore you got Terry Moore and you got the wide receiver Jordan Moore and so the thing that Mike Brown's counting on is a field goal here right because at this point it's going to be tough to get two scores if Duke scores a touchdown I mean that's an uphill climb Claudia second down here in under 30 minutes to go and I know you got all the books and all the charts and everything here but you got to think about using one of the timeouts yeah and I think they will but but you want to save one for your drive sure so I don't mind him letting the clock run here if you get a stop after this one that's when you start to to make it easier there's John Chris Moore he'll be brought down shy of the first down so it'll be third down and two and there is the first of the three Carolina timeouts with 232 to go I mean the thing that you're worried about if you're a Carolina fan the defense hasn't shown they can stop the run on this drive so Mack Brown calls the timeout and fancy chizik I mean this is sell out right here you are I mean it's man-to-man coverage on the outside cover zero nobody in the middle of the field nobody helping they get it in the end zone it's kind of whatever because you got your you got your offense back on the field you certainly don't want it but make him take a low percentage shot if they want to and I don't think Duke wants to this is gonna be a run for Gene chizik excuse me for for Kevin Johns so you got to sell out here everybody around the line of scrimmages trying to stop the run a team that had just what a handful of yards in the third quarter running has 47 alone on this drive it's almost as if Roddy they rebound the file on what worked run wise after Carolina made some adjustments maybe at halftime what sort of been the punch counter punch through the deal they had a lot of success getting on the edges of Carolina Carolina not keeping contained in the first half and then in the second half Carolina made some adjustments well Duke has adjusted to that much more Zone stuff cut back wide open now they make the biggest third down of the game that's Kevin Johns who joined Mike Galco from the Memphis staff as their OC the last couple years done a terrific job tonight and here's the third down play Waters will sneak through there is a flag dropped at the snap [Music] so the clock stops on an apparent first down run illegal shifts offense two players moving not getting seven for the five-yard penalty repeat third down what a massive operational mistake for Duke just not giving time to let both Players Get Set before dalmolin starts to go in motion and the penalty actually occurs before that you had shifting going on and those players that shift have to be set before you can then send the motion they did not give enough time Carolina gets a second life at this you throw it here you have to try and get the first down whatever you think the best opportunity to get the first down is clocking regardless the only way you can seal this thing is by getting the ball in the end zone so yeah I I if I would throw it here or a quarterback draw third and seven Leonard wants to throw gonna take the shot for Cal who holds on that's a Duke touchdown there's a flag down on the play foreign Harris [Applause] take it in with a chop block and it will negate a touchdown pass and terrific catch by Jalen Calhoun well it's 55 in number seven it takes two on these chop blocks you're gonna get Andre Harris engaged up top and then Waters goes down low it's I mean it's kind of right at the hip but that is a high low and it negates a second conversion for Duke that really would have put the game away that one would have put the game away or it would have made it really tough for Carolina because I've seen crazy things happen in rivalries involving Carolina so now is third and almost two dozen now Wes I think you run the football and you you try and draw that last time out or that second timeout for Mac Brown Leonard gonna tuck and run and taken down at the 26. Carolina uses their second timeout with 214 to go on the Biggers tackle [Music] what a turn of event I mean Duke converts twice on third downs but negated by Honestly by plays it didn't have much to do with the results the illegal shift certainly didn't affect what went on after and then the The Chop block and that ball was out quick enough where had neither one of them or had only one of them touched the defender they'd probably get the ball off it's a touchdown and they're up 11. but now it's going to be Charlie Hamm on a field goal Charlie Hamm has been pretty good under 50 yards which this one will be his longest field goal ever attempted was 56 last year at Carolina missed the 52-yarder at the end of the game against Georgia Tech this one's going to be from yep to make it a seven point lead for the Blue Devils with 214 to go [Applause] [Music] is no good [Applause] so he missed field goal by ham and now it's four points 209 to go and Carolina will get the ball that hits 26. well that entire operation just seemed off from the start the snap is low full gets up but that field goal attempt never really had a chance and Carolina somehow gets out of that without giving up points 209 one time out and Drake May on the field in the backfield three receivers to the field for May who looks that way long throw that is J.J Jones breaking away up near Midfield is Jones big touchdown catch last week in Miami he fires off on play one here from inside out is Tony Davis they go with more experience on the outside Davis not able to bring him down though Carolina already at Midfield here's May slips in lips of hood he'll ride a block to the 45 and down to about the 40 there's going to be a flag throw they could be a face mask face mask all the Blue Devils [Applause] personal foul face mask number 42 defense 15-yard penalty automatic first down Shaka Hayward arguably one of the most veteran Defenders do cats [Applause] 2 916 snaps coming in tonight feeling off the football appealing off the block just grabs the face mask Carolina in two plays is covered a lot of grounds sure have and now what do we have a whistle stops play Antoine green was the receiver to the boundary snap to Bay now Duke Fair Drake's got to do something with it going down trying to slide it toward Antoine green do they gonna rule it sack Dwayne Carter I think got to him they're going to rule it as a sack Dwayne Carter has shown up in the second half fumble recovery and then the pass rush it's actually kind of made by the pressure on the other side Drake May tries to get it out but not before his knee hits second and long here's May he's going to tuck it away and run to the 20. that'll leave Carolina with third down and about five and they're fine you don't need a timeout here Caleb hoods hurt Caleb hood is hurt and normally in those situations you'd have him go down but that'd be subject to a 10 second runoff more having to use that time out wise of him to get off the field Elijah greens come back in he's got two second half touchdowns for Carolina dude here's May looking now we'll get back to the 20 before he's brought down by Vincent Anthony that's B.J Anthony the very talented freshman split six 240 pounds he is going to be an absolute Monster by the time he gets out of here but the timeout sets up fourth down for Carolina and this is for the ball game essentially well Longo going to drop something I mean I I think you have to find Josh Downs you have to find 11 and they tried to there I actually thought they had him on the play Carolina's been excellent on four downs this year the only team better than them on four thousand percentage-wise is Clemson [Applause] Clemson but it comes out of this for Rob Smith's crew well they've been battling since late November 1888. when Duke known as Trinity beat Carolina in rally of all places 16 to nothing they've been playing since 1948 for the victory bell they split the last 10 meetings he'll move to the left and throw it's caught Downs inside the 10 knocked out of bounds first and goal Carolina just Downs better separate himself before he calls his team option route goes back outside gets open Drake may just slides in the pocket he was getting pressured slides toss it out to Downs I think wise if Carolina Downs not on the field calm him down a little bit it's crucial time he's fiery May's got a career-high 371 yards tonight Roddy on 27-38. Play Fake to Green May up in the pocket to his right and he will dive for a yard and now we're inside 30 seconds Carolina cannot waste time you have to throw that one away if you're Drake man unless you're getting in the end zone and they spike it to stop the clock with 21 seconds left so now it's third and goal in that situation I know Drake May's trying to make a play but unless you think you can score or get to the sideline throw it away and save the time because now you've essentially wasted a play you've had four shots for the End Zone but because you're tackled in bounds and now you only have three I had to spike the football you have to get two more so as a Young quarterback you cannot take a sack here you absolutely cannot only 21 seconds left on the clock you take a sack you're going to be in scramble mode to toss it into the End Zone on fourth down Antoine green to the boundary three receivers to the field Josh Downs right there here's May pressure coming gonna turn throw toward green touchdown Carolina [Applause] the better and Antoine green working back to the football making the biggest play of this game they're looking at it now they're going to review it the question is did he step out without being forced before he catches the football the answer is yes that that heel looked like it was on the line right before Wes he's clearly in but as he comes back wants his right foot [Music] right there [Applause] well actually there's a little you can see a little bit of green right right there oh long button a little bit of green right next to Antoine Green's put that white Creed I think there's a Slimmer there's certainly not enough to overturn and I I thought we saw it on the first look but [Applause] I think he's inbounds there clearly catches it in bounds [Music] that's the question right there the left foot what you're looking for white cleat white line you're looking for anything dark in between them right and it may be a millimeter but there's something there it looks like boy this fourth quarter has lived up to the hype of the Rivalry hadn't it certainly has what a series of twists and turns I mean Duke has two conversions on the other side both negated by penalties and then Carolina with the drive down fourth down conversion and then on the third down able to find the end zone with Antoine Green in the play that I would anticipate at the bare minimum is going to stand Gary Patterson a long look here but Roddy it's down to that moment yeah the Left Foot Right it is I think it's very clear that he's in when the play or when he catches the football there's another look I just don't know how you can overturn the call based on the stuff that we've seen I mean you're back and forth a little bit home in the field was a touchdown it's about as long a review as we've had all night think about the bang bang plays the maid Dwayne Carter the fumble situation on the R3 open hit here's Patterson review the ruling on the field stands touchdown nine plays 74 yards and a minute 53. and eight yards to Antoine green and Burnett to make it a three-point game kick is through Mack Brown's team back in front man from Antoine dream when the call was made that it was going to stand the play was going to stand disappointment for Duke who's fought all game long obviously Carolina fans elated 16 seconds left on the clock though Duke can get in range of a long field goal they had to try to out Charlie ham for a 52-yard or a week ago got all three timeouts I mean you're probably only gonna have time for about three plays but you can use the entire field with those three time outs you can use stuff in the middle of the field and if you're Carolina you're trying to squib this thing and and the coaching point for the kickoff return team for Duke is unless you're way backed up unless the squib makes it all the way back towards the goal line and it's stopping you're getting on the ball and falling on it right there and if it does get towards the you know 15 10-5 and it's a little hot you'd think it has a chance to get in the end zone you're trying to save every single second that you can tell you what in the history of this rivalry there have been incredible plays most recently Jamison Crowder across the inline of the end zone right to make a score to win the game chass surat's interception a couple of years ago with Duke driving at Keenan Stadium and now here tonight you've seen just incredible shifts of momentum Burnett will hang this High Stenson will let it bounce in the end zone and Duke has three timeouts in 16 seconds left trailing three from its 25. all right so ideally you'd like to get to around the 30-yard line so you can attempt a 50-yard field goal that's big chunks that you're gonna have to get but if you can get to the 45-ish then you're in Hail Mary range where you're at least tossing it in the end zone again with those three time outs you got plenty of time to use the middle of the field and call a timeout if you get down immediately [Applause] Duke puts a tight end left three receivers to the field and Jacques Moore in the backfield with Riley Leonard Leonard up in the pocket gonna take a deep shot and it is caught behind the traffic a great grab by Jordan Moore at the Carolina 47. what a throw by Riley Leonard moving up in the pocket I mean it is just over the hand of a Carolina Defender right on the sideline great throw by Leonard now you need about 17 more yards for a long field goal you're going to run a similar type play honestly you probably call it time out here and talk about it a little bit it's only 10 seconds left it's your best player 28-yard throw on a dime from Riley Leonard to Jordan Moore now Mike Elko is going to use one of the three here Roddy with 10 seconds left but to your point a moment ago he has two left he can throw something in the middle of the field the problem is you don't have a lot of time for the routes to develop Duke's got to come up with a bang bang play here perhaps no I think you've got enough time I mean you got 10 seconds on the clock you don't have forever but there's plenty of time to let those routes get down the field even if it's in the middle of the field catch the ball get down immediately has to be obviously past the sticks so the clock stops you call an immediate time out I mean you only need one second on the clocks this could be a nine second play for Duke if they need it so really I think the the conversation between Mike Elko and Kevin Johns is hey look get us a play to get 15 to 20 yards that's what we need it doesn't matter where on the field it happens because you've got those timeouts so here's Leonard now two timeouts in 10 seconds three to the field two left to the boundary Carolina rushes three Leonard's gonna throw in complete no flag he was looking for Calhoun defended by the linebacker gray with six seconds left second down no so I think Cedric gray does a pretty nice job of taking his hand off of the receiver at least at the end of that play and now the question for Duke is what do you go with Mike Elko is going to call a timeout you don't have to throw the Hail Mary from here you can run a quick play get it you know five to ten more yards before you throw it in the end zone and you see him asking Kevin Johns a little down in distance and time management here the thing is like the thing is how do you how do you want to play it because that last play only took four seconds so you can throw that play again that tight play again gene chizik on the other side kind of in a No Man's Land do you back everybody up in anticipation of the Hail Mary or do you have them play normal type defense to prevent a 10-15 yard throw like the one that just happened [Music] that's sort of the game that that these coaches go through over and over and over the Reps and over and over and over but again that last play was only four seconds right so you do have some time if you would like to throw it in the middle it's a little bit of a risk because if it's not there you got to trust your quarterback to throw it away immediately one extra second yeah right well that's huge we just leveraged the second [Applause] Duke's got one timeout Leonard again a two by two look gonna throw Pat it around and intercepted Will Hardy has come up with the deflection to end the game and now a flag has been thrown two flags previous play is under further review Hardy interception the flags are going to be on Mike Elko who is about on the numbers giving the officials his opinion on how the end of the game is gone it's got to be frustrating you had multiple Flags go against his team he thought he got a pass interference it didn't get called but Noah Taylor jumps up gets the the deflection and it looks like from that angle it looks like it's a clean catch on the back end by The Freshman Will Hardy party who had a half dozen tackles against Notre Dame five more against Virginia Tech true freshman from Lawrenceville Georgia has just come up with his first career interception yeah he has what a game this has been and Mike elko's team fought their whole the whole game had a chance to win it and I don't blame Mike Elko for expressing his frustrations with the way that this went down down the stretch but I think this team certainly in in really good hands with Mike in really good hands with Kevin johns but just not enough there tonight and look I thought Rob Smith's crew on defense acquitted itself fairly decently for most of the game it gave up some big plays this is an explosive Carolina offense it kept him in the game catching up with Rob Smith before the game he was excited about the opportunity the ruling on the field stands interception North Carolina after the play unsportsmanlike conduct Duke head coach 15-yard penalty will be first down for North Carolina from that spot that is Duke's head coach first unfortunately like of the game will hardy the interception [Applause] Tar Heels can't wait for the victory bell [Applause] it's a pretty gritty performance by this Carolina team I mean that defense struggled for large stretches of the game but in the third quarter they were good enough to let the offense get them back into it and Drake May on a career night of 380 yards and three scores gets a win against Duke to retain the victory bell it wasn't always easy for Carolina offensively in games where you don't have the ball a lot it's hard to get into a rhythm and they didn't have the ball a lot in the first half but down the stretch Drake May Josh Downs
