The Blue Devils were a three-touchdown underdog heading into Notre Dame yesterday, but that didn’t matter as Duke went on the road and upset the Fighting Irish in a 38-35 win. Here are our key takeaways from the game:
Offense
The offense excelled against the Notre Dame defense which has struggled so far this season. One of our keys to the game was that the Blue Devils would have to match the scoring against a talented Fighting Irish offensive unit, and they were able to do that staying close throughout the entire game. The Duke offense totaled 498 offensive yards excelling in both the run and the pass game.
