Wake Forest took down Duke 24-23 last weekend in a thriller between the instate rivals. The Demon Deacons blew a 17-0 lead in the second half and needed to rally themselves in the fourth quarter to avoid the upset. It was the 100th career win for head coach Jim Grobe, and marked the fourth ACC win of the season for Wake Forest.

North Carolina has lost two consecutive games, including a 59-38 drubbing to Clemson last weekend. It was a error-prone day for the Tar Heels, who turned the ball over six times and were penalized nine times for a total of 62 yards.
