A shorthanded Notre Dame offense struggled all night at Duke on Saturday night, right up until literally the last minute. Audric Estimé’s 30-yard touchdown run gets the Irish a comeback victory.
How will No. 11 Notre Dame respond to last week’s gut-wrenching loss, facing a top-20 opponent on the road tonight? Expect the Irish to focus on their most-basic strategy, their rushing attack.
The Irish have supposedly long struggled against ranked opponents. Some of that should have been expected. Some of it was overblown. What edge does Notre Dame have tonight to silence the Duke atmosphere?
Notre Dame is in rather good shape physically, but a hangover can be more than physical, and if the Irish show up hungover at Duke, it could mean Ohio State beats Notre Dame twice for the second year in a row.
Notre Dame’s schedule has not unfolded as expected, not with Clemson and Pittsburgh down, but challenges await, nonetheless.
Duke has long been a college football doormat, enjoying only a year or two of success at a time and usually decades apart. Mike Elko has conjured up two seasons of success in only his second season as Blue Devils head coach. Can he continue that stretch as an underdog this Saturday night?
Notre Dame took too long to bounce back from its Ohio State loss last year. Such a hangover would be just as costly at No. 17 Duke on Saturday.
Any top-line Notre Dame upset or near-upset in the last seven years depended on an opposing injury or hopes of a fluke play. The Irish didn’t need either Saturday. They lost, but they know they should have won, and that will carry forward through the rest of the 2023 season.
Notre Dame will long wonder if it would have made a dramatic goal-line stop if it had played at full strength, but a last-second substitution mistake left the Irish shorthanded when it mattered most on Saturday night.
A clutch fourth-quarter drive led by Sam Hartman and a stellar Irish defensive performance fall just short against the Buckeyes, falling 17-14 on a last-second goal-line touchdown.
