The Game Plan: UNC Has Work Cut Out vs. Duke

Greg Barnes and Jason Staples join Tommy Ashley to break down the game plan for North Carolina as the Duke Blue Devils come to Kenan Stadium on Saturday. The Tar Heels are looking for their fifth win of the season, with the Victory Bell on the line. Barnes and Staples highlight how the Heels must stop Duke QB Darian Mensah and how Gio Lopez and the Carolina offense can score enough points to keep the game competitive for a chance to win.
