No matter the score, a victory over your biggest rival is a win all the same.

Duke overcame a 20-point second-half deficit to beat North Carolina 21-20 in Chapel Hill. The Blue Devils had some fun needling UNC on social media after the game.

Most fans associate the Duke-North Carolina rivalry with what unfolds on the hardwood. Their men's basketball encounters have been the stuff of legend.

The bad blood extends across all sports, though, and since 1948, the Blue Devils and Tar Heels have been battling for the Victory Bell in football. UNC owns a 64-41-4 all time advantage and recently reeled off a five-game winning streak.

That came to an end Saturday night.

Duke running back Star Thomas, who ran for 166 yards, brought the Blue Devils to within one score with a two-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Then running back Peyton Jones put them ahead on a 20-yard scamper with 5:42 on the clock.

After its next drive ended in a punt, North Carolina had one final chance to move into position for a go-ahead field goal. The Tar Heels got as far as their own 40-yard line before quarterback Jacolby Criswell threw an interception.

"Coach [Manny] Diaz said at halftime," Duke wide receiver Eli Pancol said, per Steve Wiseman of the News & Observer. "He's like, this is going to be something that we're going to look back on in, like, so many years and it's going to be something special. So I can't wait 20 years down the road I'm going to be watching the highlights. It's awesome."

The comeback will live long in the memory for plenty of Blue Devils fans as well.
