Chapel Hill, N. C. Duke’s trip to North Carolina on Nov.

The rest of the spread on this rare blue battle football banquet table can’t be known until after the Blue Devils host Miami tomorrow night in Durham. Carolina did its part to make the upcoming rivalry game very special by bouncing Pitt, 2.

Thursday night in a nationally televised statement of authenticity. The Panthers (6- 2, 3- 1 ACC) still could wind up with a share of perhaps even all of the league’s Coastal Division title, but the Tar Heels (7- 1, 4- 0) definitely took the rail position and could pull comfortably ahead if they can just come close to duplicating last season’s performance against Duke– a 4. Durham. The nationally 2. Blue Devils (6- 1, 3- 0) are an 1. Miami (4- 3, 1- 2), which will be in its first game under interim head coach Larry Scott (7 p. ESPNU). But regardless of how the Miami- Duke game goes, the Devils’ trip to Chapel Hill will be among the most important in the long (usually nondescript) series and will occur a time when the Tar Heels have established themselves as at least the second best offensive team in the ACC.

Atlantic Division leader Clemson (7- 0, 4- 0), a 1. Saturday at N. C. State (5- 2, 1- 2) at 3: 3. ABC, has more sheer clout than Carolina, but it’s close. Pitt probably is over- ranked at No. Tar Heels’ explosiveness on Thursday can be ignored in any way. UNC obviously doesn’t have a crushing schedule, but the players and coaches didn’t arrange the slate and there’s no debate they’ve consistently displayed imposing pop in every game since the season- opening 1.

South Carolina in Charlotte. The emergence of Elijah Hood as an all- star caliber running back, the versatility of quarterback Marquise Williams, an experienced blocking front, a much improved kicking game and a collection of pass receivers even better than the Clemson group all have combined to make the offense a legitimate force.

Keeping Chizik may be a challenge. But for all the Carolina offense has achieved and may yet achieve this season, there can be little debate that the primary reason for the program’s sudden rise from last season’s 6- 7 (4- 4) record has been the defensive about- face under new coordinator Gene Chizik. Although Pitt was able to get close with a long scoring drive during the final two minutes, the Carolina defense basically was in control throughout. The most impressive aspect of the performance was how the Heels held Panther running backs Qadree Ollison and Chris James in check while still limiting damage by future NFL wide- out Tyler Boyd. Although he got his 1. Boyd didn’t reach the end zone or gain more than 2. Panthers for the past two years.

UNC signed Chizik to a 3- year contract for roughly $7. That’s expensive by ACC assistant standards, but may not be enough to keep him around terribly long.

Only 5. 3, Chizik coached Cam Newton and Auburn to a national title in 2. His minor miracle thus far with the Carolina defense can only improve his resume at a time when Southern Cal, Miami, Maryland, Illinois, South Carolina, Central Florida and North Texas already have openings with other schools are certain to follow. But for now and no doubt the rest of the season, Chizik will be in Larry Fedora’s corner as the Tar Heels’ first and last line of defense. Where the combo could go is through the roof, but the same is possible for Duke, Clemson and Florida State. On betting paper, Carolina or Duke would be a 7- 1. Atlantic winner in the Dec.
