  1. That ankle roll to end the game is really the biggest hit the dukes season. Acc championship game is still in reach but that rollover looked rough.

  2. That was an awful called game! The Duke Offensive Line was holding on almost every play and the Referees weren't calling a thing against Duke! It was well into the third quarter before Duke had their first penalty called on them, give me a BREAK! I saw one play where the Duke Offensive lineman; literally almost pulled the shirt of the Notre Dame defender and the Referee was standing right there and called nothing!

    The ACC Referee were trying to take that game from Notre Dame!

    Notre Dame OC, better learn to call more than runs up the middle, and the rest let's just stand around and see what Sam can do. The way Duke was blitzing coming up the middle all night, the OC didn't call not one Screen Play, not one end and around, nothing….?

  3. This ND team is different man. This is the kind of game ND has lost for YEARS. They were banged up coming in and nothing went their way all night. Still, they found a way to make the big plays when they needed it most. If they go on to run the table, they'll look back at this game as the turning point for the season. GO IRISH!

  4. The ACC officiating is awful. It's like they're trying to help these teams beat Notre Dame. I mean Duke gets two penalties and we get 12. You miss all kinds of holdings by then you're picking up pass interference flags for them. I no Notre Dame has a 30-game win streak. But let them beat us fair and square. No more cheating

  5. Duke is doing a lot right this year and their defense was impressive vs ND. Duke had this game won until that 4th down play where they went conservative pass D and gave the ND qb all the time he needed… Terrible call. They should have rushed with everything they had and limited his time, and the game would have been over. If there was ever a time to blitz, that was the time.
