UNC v. Duke...AGAIN

As everyone should know by now, Butch Davis is in his second year as head coach of UNC's football team. Duke is also starting anew this year with coach Dave Cutcliffe (of Ole Miss fame). My question for you guys is: Do you think Duke has a chance to win against UNC when they match up Nov. 29? Let's keep in mind that last year's matchup did go into OT (with UNC the victor) and Duke does have a better coach than they did last year.

Re: UNC v. Duke...AGAIN
I am going to have to go with NO! Duke gets up for this game, but their recruiting has not been that great and a "better coach" is always subjective. Most programs struggle under a new coach, as the entire coaching staff leaves, the players weren't recruited by the new coach and they all have to learn a new scheme of plays. Remember the new coach might bring in a different style, say run & Gun, that the current players were not recruited for and don't fit in. UNC by 10.
