DURHAM -- No. 17 Duke led No. 11 Notre Dame 14-13 late in the fourth quarter, but the visiting Irish scored on a 30-yard touchdown rush with 31 seconds remaining to stun the Blue Devils, 21-14, Saturday night at a sold-out Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium.

On a Saturday that began with ESPN College Gameday's first visit to Duke's campus, ended with a classic, top-25 matchup that was decided in the closing seconds. Duke rallied from down 10-0 at halftime, and 13-0 in the second half, to grab a 14-13 lead thanks to third-quarter touchdown from Jordan Waters and a fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Riley Leonard to Jordan Moore with 9:17 to play.
