The victory bell is staying in Chapel Hill for the fifth-straight year thanks to a late touchdown that delivered a big win for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
[autotag]Drake Maye[/autotag] found Antoine Green with 16 seconds left on third down for a go-ahead touchdown in the end zone to stun the Blue Devils’ faithful on Saturday night in Durham. After Duke missed a field goal up four late, Maye marched the Tar Heels down the field in just a few plays and capped it off with a nice throw to Green in the end zone for the score.

The play came just a few minutes after Maye found Josh Downs for a crucial fourth-down conversion to keep the drive alive for the Tar Heels.
Things looked bleak for UNC as they led 31-21 at the start of the fourth quarter and had the ball at the Duke 35. But a failed flea-flicker, a sack and a missed field goal gave the ball back to Duke as they rallied off 14-straight to take the late lead.
But Maye and the Tar Heels never gave up and the legend of the freshman quarterback continues to grow.
