North Carolina Holds Off Duke, 45-44
Posted Nov 26, 2006
Brandon Tate returned a punt 54 yards for the go-ahead touchdown and Kentwan Balmer blocked an extra point that would have forced overtime Saturday, giving North Carolina a 45-44 victory over Duke in John Bunting's final game as the Tar Heels' coach. The Blue Devils nearly rallied from a 14-point deficit by scoring two touchdowns in the final 5 minutes, the second coming when defensive lineman Patrick Bailey intercepted Joe Dailey and returned it 21 yards for a touchdown with 2:49 to play.
