TarHeelsWire How to Watch
The North Carolina Tar Heels are now in desperation mode , needing to win each of their final two football games to reach bowl eligibility.
UNC's next test comes Saturday, as it hosts Duke for Senior Day at 3:30 p.m. North Carolina (4-6, 2-4 ACC) enters the Victory Bell battle off a 28-12 loss at Wake Forest , while the Blue Devils (5-5, 4-2 ACC) lost 34-17 to Virginia .

The Tar Heels took a big step backwards in Winston-Salem , failing to finish drives and suffering through a lackluster defensive performance . UNC settled for four field goals, including a career-long 57-yarder from Rece Verhoff, while allowing 414 yards to an average offense at best.
Duke has a great offense led by ACC Player of the Year candidate Darian Mensah , who transferred from Tulane during the offseason. The Blue Devils' defense is questionable, but does North Carolina have enough offense to enjoy a field day?
If you remember 2024's edition of the Victory Bell battle, the Tar Heels led 17-0 at halftime. UNC's offense and defense both disappeared in the second half, losing 21-20 in a season full of disappointing defeats.
Saturday's game is equally important for both arch-rivals. North Carolina needs a win to stay bowl eligible, while Duke needs one to clinch its fourth-straight bowl appearance.
