    Duke and North Carolina are two teams that know each other incredibly well, and while the Battle For Tobacco Road more often than not refers to the basketball matchup, Saturday it will be all about football.

    North Carolina is looking to rebound from an embarrassing 70-50 loss at the hands of James Madison last week, whereas Duke is looking to move to 5-0 on the year under first-year coach Manny Diaz. The Blue Devils are looking to prove that record is no mirage, with wins over Elon, Northwestern, UConn, and Middle Tennessee.

    Although the Tar Heels are licking their wounds, they're still arguably the most formidable foe Duke has faced thus far. Saturday will mark the 110th football meeting between these two teams, with North Carolina having won the past five games. The Tar Heels lead the overall series 65-40-4.
