Bill Belichick’s North Carolina Tar Heels are developing a reputation for surviving when games get uncomfortable. Against Duke, they turned that resilience into one of the sweetest victories of their season. North Carolina overcame a blown 17-point lead and a fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Blue Devils 24-20 on Saturday, reclaiming the Victory Bell and the bragging rights that come with winning one of college football’s fiercest rivalries. The Tar Heels had endured a tense final stretch, but they finished with the play that mattered most — a 24-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Jaylen McGill that put UNC back in front for good.
