Voice of the Tar Heels Jones Angell joins Aaron to preview Saturday’s battle for the Victory Bell, with UNC football taking on Duke. The Blue Devils have won the last two meetings, but the Tar Heels are hoping for a signature win to build momentum from their early successes – and carry them into the second half of the season, with quite a few winnable games still left to play. Jones also looks ahead at UNC basketball’s next preseason exhibition, Sunday at Indiana, and reflects on watching new coach Michael Malone in action for the first time during the Heels’ last exhibition against Southern Cal.
