Countdown to Kickoff: Duke

Posted Oct 19, 2012
North Carolina and Duke will square off in its earliest rivalry contest since 1926 under the lights on Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium (7pm, ESPNU). The Tar Heels (5-2, 2-1) and Blue Devils (5-2, 2-1) last met in October in 1938 and last played this early in the season on Oct. 16, 1926. These two rivals, separated by an eight-mile stretch of U.S. 15-501, had played in the season finale in 63 of the previous 68 years. (Inside Carolina)
