2 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2003 Blue Devils elated after win BY RANDY WELLINGTON STAFF WRITER Sometimes, sports have moments that only can be described with a cliche. For anyone watching and listen ing to the Duke football team’s cel ebration after its win against North Carolina on Saturday, one had to come to mind. All’s well that ends well. Senior tailback Chris Douglas, after beating the Tar Heels for the first time in his career Saturday, rode the Victory Bell as his team carried it toward the Blue Devil locker room. “It was our destiny to come home with this bell,” said Douglas of the prize for winning the rivalry game. “That was the best ride I’ve ever had in my life.” Douglas' career was a different sort of ride. In his four years as a starter, Duke’s record was 6-40 and 2-30 in the ACC. But both of those league wins came in the last three weeks, and STUDENT VOTE FROM PAGE 1 geared to students as it should have been,” he said. “It was terrible.” Despite the low turnout, McSwain is confident that student participation could be higher. Young voters do not think there are any candidates on the ballot who are making an effort to look out for their interests, he said.

And Finish.™ in the final game of his career, the Blue Devils beat UNC for the first time since 1989 as Douglas ran for 119 yards and a touchdown. The win made him believe he and his classmates have sent Duke’s program in the right direc tion. “It’s scary to think what we could have done if we had had a couple more games,” he said. “But that bell is staying there for a long time.” Douglas’ belief is contingent on interim coach Ted Roof staying at Duke for a long time as well. “He’s a great coach and a great motivator,” said defensive tackle Matt Zielinski. When Coach Carl Franks was fired seven games into the season, Roof took over. He went 2-3, and in his third game, Duke broke its 30-game ACC losing streak against Georgia Tech. Senior linebacker Ryan Fowler couldn’t decide if winning the “Students need to perceive that they are being offered a good can didate, one that has the backbone to stand up for student interests in the town,” he said. With students constituting about one-third of the town’s eligi ble voters, student candidates eas ily could win public office and force candidates to campaign directly to them, he said. “I wouldn’t doubt that in a few years, every campaign From Page One Georgia Tech game or the UNC game gave him a better feeling, but he was certain that those wins should ensure that Roof returns as coach next season. “He’s done an incredible job,” Fowler said. “He’s proved that he should be the coach.” But Fowler and Douglas will not be around to see what Roof can do if he’s put in charge. Neither will Zielinski, the senior who sacked UNC quarterback Darian Durant to seal the victory. He rode the bell as well after the game ended, a joyous smile plas tered on his face. For him, as for his entire class, all the past losses were just that the past. And the thing that they’ll remember is their final game, a win against their most bitter rival. Roof said, “That’s a great thing, for those seniors to leave with a sweet taste in their mouths.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. will have a campus coordinator."

After a UNC three-and-out, the Blue Devils drove down the field in 10 plays, eight of which were rush es. Cedric Dargan popped the ball in from the 1 to give the Blue Devils a 13-0 lead. Duke’s next possession was a particularly bad one for UNC cor nerback Michael Waddell. Douglas was stuffed on third and-short, but Waddell was flagged for a 15-yard personal foul in the secondary to keep the drive going. The Tar Heel defense came up with another stop, forcing the Blue Devils to attempt a 41-yard field goal. The snap was high and Waddell appeared to have a clear lane for the block, but he stopped running. After the kick went through the uprights, Bunting grilled him on the sideline. “I saw him stop,” Bunting said. “And I’ll have to review the tape there because he may have been bumped. I think he was afraid he was going to run into the kicker.” The Tar Heel offense, on the other hand, appeared afraid to get a first down. A series of slips, high throws and overthrows raised the question of whether Durant was hurt. Durant was not hurt, nor was he particularly impressed with the Duke defense. But he was, like the rest of the UNC offense, unable to find a rhythm. “It was us,” Durant said. “I mean, I’m not trying to take any thing away from them, but every mishap we had was our fault.” Another Dargan touchdown made it 23-0, but there were far more telling numbers at the end of the half. First downs: Duke 15, UNC 1. Rushing yards: Duke 171, UNC 12. Passing yards: Duke 112, UNC 27- Total offense: Duke 287, UNC 39. Time of possession: Dqke 21:44, UNC 8:16. And a majority of the crowd of 48,000 booing as the Tar Heels left the field to regroup. “What would you tell a team at halftime when you’re getting beat like that?” Bunting said. “It was embarrassing.” Whatever he said, the Tar Heels came out determined to start the third quarter. Durant engineered a 65-yard opening drive, capping it with a 17- yard TD pass to Wallace Wright. UNC then cut the Blue Devils’ lead to 8, with Durant scoring on a 10-yard run and hitting Brandon Russell for the two-point conver sion. But the Tar Heels would get no closer. After the teams traded TDs, the UNC defense was able to come up with a stop, getting the ball back to the offense on its 24 with 2:36 to play and no timeouts. Durant started with a 7-yard completion to Russell but followed with an incomplete pass. On third down, Jarwarski Pollock dropped the ball. On fourth, Durant looked for an open receiver. He couldn’t find one and made a move to run, but Zalienski came from behind. And just like that, everything was over. The 13-year winning streak against Duke. The 2003 season. For some players, like safety Dexter Reid, their UNC careers. “Football is a game of life, man,” said an agitated Reid. “It can teach you how to deal with adver sity not only on the field, but off the field.” Bunting, who Director of Athletics Dick Baddour said will CHARGES FROM PAGE 1 building when he heard a shot.
