Here are words that no Duke fan over a certain age would have ever dreamed they would one day read: Duke put the fear of God into Notre Dame Saturday night, leading with less than one minute to play and nearly wrecking the entire season for the Fighting Irish.
It’s exactly what happened though.
The Irish took a 10-0 lead into halftime and for at least a few minutes early, a lot of Blue Devil fans probably thought, well, we may need to adjust our expectations. It didn’t help that Duke missed two field goal attempts either.
