North Carolina and Duke are set to renew their football rivalry. The Tar Heels visit the Blue Devils on Saturday seeking a 3-0 start in Atlantic Coast Conference play.

UNC can win a second road game in league play as well. That has helped UNC become the front-runner in the always-unpredictable Coastal Division. Duke is coming off a loss to Georgia Tech.

The Blue Devils have had a successful start under first-year coach Mike Elko. The Tar Heels’ defense has struggled this year. It will face a quarterback in Riley Leonard who has failed to throw for 200 yards in either of the past two games.

Duke plays North Carolina at 7 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) Saturday, Oct. 15.

Preview

WHAT’S AT STAKE? North Carolina’s offense has carried it to front-runner status in the league’s always-unpredictable Coastal Division race. The Tar Heels are 2-0 in the league and can add a second road win by beating the rival Blue Devils, who stumbled at Georgia Tech in what has otherwise been a successful start under first-year coach Mike Elko.

KEY MATCHUP: UNC’s defense vs. Duke QB Riley Leonard. The Tar Heels’ defense has been shaky all season, surrendering 32 points and 465.3 yards per game to rank at the bottom of the ACC in both categories. That unit now faces Leonard, who hasn’t had the same success of late in moving the ball through the air. Leonard has two 300-yard passing games but threw for 129 yards in a win against Virginia and 136 yards in last weekend’s loss to Georgia Tech.

PLAYERS TO WATCH: UNC: QB Drake Maye. The second-year passer is third in the Bowl Subdivision ranks by throwing for 21 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions.

Duke: WR Sahmir Hagans. The second-year player returned a punt for an 81-yard touchdown in the Georgia Tech loss. That marked the program’s first punt return TD since the 2014 Sun Bowl.

FACTS & FIGURES: UNC has won three straight meetings in the longtime rivalry. … The winner gets the Victory Bell, a cart carrying a former railroad engine bell used in the rivalry in the late 1940s.
