No. 15 Notre Dame at Duke: Who, what, when, where, why and by how much

WHO? No. 15 Notre Dame (6-2) at Duke (4-4).

WHAT? Back in the days when the Irish were in Playoff contention, all of two weeks ago, this may have been the ever-feared trap game. While Notre Dame knows how to endure Navy’s triple-option and every college football fan can predict most Boston College plays, the Blue Devils are an underrated, well-coached team.

At .500, Duke flies below the radar, but it cannot be emphasized enough that even being .500 is a testament to head coach David Cutcliffe, now in his 12th year in Durham.
