UNC Football vs. Duke: How To Watch, Cord-Cutting Options and Kickoff Time

After suffering its second loss of the season, UNC travels to Durham to take on rival Duke this weekend.

Despite the Blue Devils coming into the game with a 2-5 record, Mack Brown said his team is refusing to overlook them.

“Duke’s got a really good run game, we haven’t stopped the run well,” Brown said. “They’ve got very good special teams, we haven’t been very good, we haven’t been consistent. Their front seven is really good. The two ends are as good as we’ll play and the secondary is much improved over last year.”

A key to UNC’s victory this weekend will be keeping quarterback Sam Howell upright. Virginia’s Charles Snowden racked up four sacks last weekend and Duke’s Victor Dimukeje and Chris Rumph II are tied for the ACC lead at 7.5 sacks apiece this season.

North Carolina is a 10-point favorite at the time of publishing.
