North Carolina Defeats Duke 19-6 Posted Nov 7, 2009 Facing a prolific passing attack and playing without its top rusher, North Carolina found a way to inch closer to bowl eligibility. Ryan Houston ran for a career-high 164 yards while Jheranie Boyd scored the clinching touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to help the Tar Heels beat Duke 19-6 on Saturday, extending their recent dominance of their next-door rivals.
