Duke and North Carolina is one of the biggest rivalries in college basketball, but the two schools renewed the rivalry on the football field on Saturday.
The Blue Devils were up 24-10 late in the third quarter, but the Tar Heels scored 15 consecutive points to take the lead. Trailing by one late in the fourth quarter, Duke was about to kick what would have given the team the lead.
Instead, the team decided to call a fake field goal that worked to perfection. The Blue Devils ended up with the ball inside the 5-yard line and scored a touchdown later in the drive. Duke followed that play up with a defensive stop, earning a 32-25 victory over its rival.
Here’s a clip of the fake field goal:
