The Notre Dame Fighting Irish reach the halfway point of their 2023 schedule when they travel to face the Duke Blue Devils on September 30. The contest will mark only the eighth meeting between the two schools, with the Irish holding a 5-2 advantage. In their last trip to Durham in 2019, Notre Dame coasted to a 38-7 win.
The 2023 edition of the Blue Devils will be headed by reigning ACC Coach of the Year Mike Elko, who served as Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator in 2017. Elko’s award was based on Duke’s 9-4 record, which earned them a bowl berth, and was a mark that very easily could have been 12-1.
