Advanced stats from Duke's 27-25 win over North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

Confused? Visit the Advanced Stats glossary here. Or just skip to the words. I won't be offended. (Okay, I'll only be a little offended.)

Third Downs: Duke 8-for-15, UNC 2-for-12.

Both teams did a pretty good job of staying out of passing downs, but Duke was infinitely more effective when falling behind schedule, and the Blue Devils figured out ways to move the chains when UNC couldn't, usually via air.
