Great rivalry, but man, Duke's down this year. Can they handle the Tar Heels?

It doesn't matter how down they are. When this game takes place, the best is delivered by each team. Now granted, I would love to see them have a down game, but it will be a great one.

18-5 is not too far down...not what they are use to, but not bad...

It's the 5-4 record in the ACC I'm looking at... they've have some real bad conference losses.

I agree...But like UNC last year (well, this year also), they have a young team without a definitive senior leader.
