Duke and Notre Dame had their share of must-watch basketball games during the mid-2010s. When it comes to football, this isn't a matchup that typically draws the eyes of the college football world -- until this weekend.
The Blue Devils have a chance to make 2023 one of their best seasons in program history, after starting 4-0 and upsetting Clemson in Week 1. A win over Notre Dame to stay undefeated would catapult Duke into a national story and send the Fighting Irish spiraling out of playoff contention.
Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame are looking to get back on track after losing to Ohio State in heartbreaking fashion one week ago. After leading for much of the fourth quarter, the Irish gave up the lead with one second on the clock. Replay would show Notre Dame only had 10 defenders on the field for the final play, which only added insult to injury after an otherwise well-played second half.
Sam Hartman has already put himself on the map as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Can Duke QB Riley Leonard boost his own profile with his second ranked win of the month?
