I grew up in Indiana 60 miles east of Notre Dame. And I was born with cerebral palsy, so I could not play football or sports. As a Notre Dame football fan for nearly sixty years, I have never been so excited for Irish football and with Coach Freeman. Go Irish.
Last week, Notre Dame lost on a last second TD. Tonight, Sam Hartman led his team down the field for a last minute TD to win. Duke played really well, and you hate to see Riley Leonard go down to a nasty leg injury. He played really well, also
@@NickGurrBoi Your comment literally doesn't make since. In the past they were more of a basketball school. When we played them they were ranked 14 in the nation. Also, congratulations to Duke for having a good football program. I wouldn't usually entertain a comment like this but I have to give Duke respect.
ND fan here. Proud of the team for how the responded after last week. Proves that even with that loss this team is different than ones in the past. DUKE is a great team definitely out played us most the second half. Hope their QB is okay, great player. If he is healthy I think duke is definitely a favorite to Winn ACC
I think my noles will have something to say about that. Good rebound win for ND though, and I hope Leonard is ok. That is an awful way to end the game (injury)
@@chesberger4474Not really. It's Duke. They don't have a very clutch defensive team obviously. IF they did, they would've still sent 4 man pressure and had the other 6 guys playing back off in coverage. Also, you gotta hustle to get that QB before the line to gain. Then the bad tackling on the last rushing TD. Good execution, but just horribly coached defense by Duke cost them.
@@MusicMan3lol if Notre dame wouldn’t have gotten so many drive killing penalties they would have won by more. We shouldn’t play “ifs” in sports, duke is a good team tho
@@Silence_Duder_Gooder my point is nobody gives a F about “ifs” in sports. There’s winners and losers the rest don’t matter. Everybody can play the “if” game but most of us don’t like whining so we choose not to🤷🏾♂️
So proud of Duke Football. My team gives everything they have and they have nothing to hang their heads about. I am a little ashamed at the sea of green we allowed to get into Wallace Wade Stadium tonight though Duke fans have to get out here with me and everyone else that's coming to the games and support our Blue Devils. Thoughts and prayers to Riley Leonard 🙏. Let's Go Duke 🏈
As a die hard ND fan, it sucks to see Riley Leonard go down like that with that game on the line. The kid played his heart out tonight. As a probably biased ND fan I was hoping to see a blowout, but Duke proved tonight that with Riley Leonard at QB they are a gritty and tough team to beat no matter who they play. Good luck the rest of the season Duke, for both your sake and ND’s!
LUCK OF THE IRISH! *That 4th and 16 run from Sam Hartman was STELLAR. If that ain't Heisman worthy, then what else is? Estime had a ok-ish game. In the end, he blasted through for an Irish TD and that beautiful pass from Hartman to his receiver for the 2-point conversion was EPIC. Five seconds left in the game, and the (D)efense stepped up, recovered a fumble.* I hope Riley Leonard is alright, cuz that was a brutal injury... He's just a kid as well (Same age as me, so me using "he's just a kid" is what my dad said all the time) *Go Irish, fight back into the playoff contention and WIN IT ALL!*
Sam Hartman is a safe pro style guy, not a heisman QB. Heisman QB mostly play that same style of football, that ain’t Sam Hartman. Also still waiting to see wake forest Sam, almost playing too safe is really stunting what could be a great passing game
@@ordinarilyirresistible6907 Not having a healthy receiving corp is stunting the passing game. Hopefully that changes soon. Supposedly Greathouse and Thomas will be back next week, and Raridon (ND's most talented TE) soon after. Give Hartman targets that can create separation and make plays and he'll do great. There is a reason Evans had more than 60% of all of ND's receiving yards last night. Tyree and Merriweather aren't getting it done for the most part, and they are two guys who have to play about every snap due to ND's injuries at WR and TE.
He committed the crime. But what I don't like is that they kick out the player only once. That seems a bit harsh. And I don't like Notre Dame, either. They should instead make the penalty that the player has to come out of the game for the rest of the half. If that means the second half, so beit. But if it happens during the first half of the game, I think that player should be able to come back and play. And if he does it again, then you suspend him for the entire next game played. That, to me, seems way fairer than what they're doing already.
Wow, Sam Hartman showed so much poise and grit and determination all in one on that last drive to win it. Estumay made a really nice run out of nothing to score the final winning TD. Very impressive game of catches tonight by Evans, too. Duke played tough though. Sorry to see Leonard go down like that in the 4th. He was great today, too.
Not really. We saw what happened against Ohio State game. Y'all got really lucky this time with a badly coached Duke defense. They got a lot of work to do on that defensive side for sure. Had several chances to put ND away and couldn't do it.
That guy who drop that int on 3rd and 16 is sick to his stomach. Great finish for UND dukes deffinetly legot those boys never quit and they wer over powered on the lines. Thats a gritty team no doubt
As a lifetime Heels fan.....love seeing Duke lose, but not if it means one of their guys has to go down for it. Hope Leonard is ok and able to come back to finish out the season. Hard fought win, Irish.
Just look at what happened to ND last week with a good OSU defense, they crumbled. This Duke defense is not on that OSU's teams level not quite even on Clemson or FSU's level. They got a long ways to go. And they've got Al Blades in there who is a all-American last two years, they should be running that defense around Al Blades since he's a monster of a DB.
I would’ve actually enjoyed this game of the refs weren’t so horrible. I give my props to duke for playing great but it’s hard to enjoy a game when the refs ruin it. I hope those refs get fired and good luck to duke going forward. Go Irish ☘️
Delay of game to start second half, picked up flag on PI against Duke, bs offensive PI against ND, Duke OL downfield, Duke false start that made ND jump offside, Targeting on Hartman (helmet to helmet), Targeting call against ND, same type of play where Duke lowers their helmet on an ND return, so many missed holding calls. Anything to give Duke the edge. ND haters are just trolling
@@bvgshouldbecoachHow about actually winning a game against Duke and not having to do it at the last minutes of the game. Guarantee if that's Georgia or Alabama, they are not letting you run the ball down their throats at all. Especially not for a TD to win the game. Granted if the Duke defense was a little more disciplined and coached, despite all those missed flags, it would've still been Duke winning this game. Instead they lose it and lose their star Quarterback because of their unclutch defense.
😮 Hopefully, he will be able to get back before the football season is over from his injury 😊. I have to say "GOOD LUCK FOR HIM" and the rest of the Duke University. Tough game for both teams, but my Notre Dame found a way to get the job done 👍.
Duke rush defense was perfect, until it won't. Then the offense was consistent, until that ball came loose. I hope Riley is ok, but I'm so proud of Duke this year.
@@Njbear7453lol no they didn’t, they played a great game but they led for one quarter. Final drive OSU marches 90 yards in one minute, the game was over regardless of the 10 men bs.
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!
Oh god dude. It's Duke. What did you expect? At least they came ready for a fight, it's just that the Duke kicker and the defense decided to not show up on that last drive. Defense wins you games, that's true still.
Nothing worse in all of football than watching an opposing team drive down the field to score in the last moments.. 🤦♂️ I’m a Buckeye fan and that’s how we lost to UGA in the playoffs, and that’s how ND lost to us last weekend. I feel for any fanbase who has to watch that. Absolutely heartbreaking
I know it’s hard to feel anything aside from disappointment, but y’all should be proud of your team. There’s 2 directions that a program could be headed, and Duke is on the up and up. It’s only a matter of time until Duke is really up there, I feel.
Irish fan here, I totally understand, last weekend was heartbreaking for me against Ohio. Wish y’all luck for the rest of the season, it was a good game.
Some terrible calls. That targeting was Bs. There should be targeting on every play by that logic. Not to mention overturning the touchback that you aren’t allowed to overturn. The light shove making Merriweather get a offensive pi. The missed illegal lineman downfield on fourth down for Duke. And the refs never calling any of the many holds. Very frustrating game to watch still can’t believe ND won
Thank you. It was absolutely asinine. Correct if lowering the head is targeting. Call it every play. Also the pass interference on Duke that was picked up. The refs tried so hard to keep this a game. It was disgusting
@@SAABTURBO1986 yeah. At the start there I think Duke was yelling “hike” on defense to get us to false start. I’m not just saying that because we were false starting a lot but it looked like Freeman was saying that exact thing. Did Duke ever get a penalty though, nope.
Definitely get where you're coming from but I feel like it worked as intended... he had no one open and he's not exactly a dual-threat QB that can run often. Just a great athlete that took the game in his own hands and somehow got the 1st.
Wow what a game, Notre Dame learned a lot from that Ohio State lost, they got their get back quick. Marcus Freeman got them playing like they are in the Big 10 physical tough football, he have brought that with him to Notre Dame.
ND played hard and DESERVED the win. Clutch performances with < 1 min to go. Look at what they overcame. Duke is a good team & good story this year. But you won't give ND an ounce of credit.
Knew it was going to be tough against a game Duke team. Didn’t realize the Irish were going to have to play the referees as well. Great teams find a way to win through it all, even when the refs are against you.
@@TB-yp4un ND has grossly been disproportionately penalized so far this season. Last night was the most recent example. 12 penalties on ND, 2 on Duke. It is what it is.
I'm very concerned with 2 games in a row with such lack of offense. 3rd down was terrible today. If they want any chance at beating USC they have to be able to put up 40 at the very least. Not looking so good
It's out the door if OSU loses closely to Michigan, unfortunately. Any combination of the 3 B1G East powerhouses will take that #4 spot ahead of us if OSU doesn't win out. Not to mention if FSU and/or Texas run the table, either.
4th and 16 and Duke gives up the game. Two chances at a pick to end the game. 2 missed field goals by the kicker. Duke really shot themselves in the foot here. Choking away a win at home is crazy.
Not a fan of Notre Dame but the Qb sticking around to shake the hand of the Duke Qb is pure class. Much respect for him and his parents for raising a good young man.
One minute… In just one minute, Duke went from having a real chance at winning the ACC and going to the playoffs…to now losing their QB and likely losing several more games.
Totally sucks to see the Duke QB get hurt at the end of the game. Hope he recovers soon. Duke was one missed FG away from having the momentum shift to put it away. Don't sleep on Duke.
Sam Hartman had another Heisman moment with that 4th and 16 run. If his coaches had trusted him more and not allowed Ohio State to get the ball back, he'd be the Heisman frontrunner in my mind. As it stands, Quinn Ewers is for his performances against Alabama (Top 5 team) and Kansas (Top 25), followed by Drake Maye, Bo Nix, J.J. McCarthy, and Michael Penix Jr. Caleb Williams is unimpressive because his stats have been against bad teams, and Lee Corso and I picked him to win the Heisman in the preseason last season based off of value betting. Now that I've had a year to actually see him play, Drake Maye is far superior. These Pac-12 QBs haven't had Heisman moments because nobody plays defense in the conference. Need to wait until USC and Washington play real teams before passing judgment on those QBs
@@ADSeason25 No he won't. You know Hartman's line tonight? 15-30, 222 yards, 23 yards rushing. I'm not saying that to knock on Hartman, I'm just saying this wasn't a Heisman performance. He had a Heisman moment, but he needs to put up the stats he was putting up in the first 4 games if he wants to win. Love Hartman, he got it together when he needed to, and that 4th down rush followed by the spike was next level stuff. I have no doubt he'll bounce back and put on a show against Louisville. Go Irish 🍀
Most inexplicable gambling loss in a while if you had Duke +5.5. Notre Dame seemed to lose the game 5 different times in the last 90 seconds and somehow broke through with a TD run and conversion you wouldn't have thought they'd even need to win.
Good game for both teams. With two missed field goals this might be a different game. Iam a big 10 fan as they don’t get enough respect! Way to finish strong ND
Lmao again it doesn't matter. If nd makes their field goal they beat osu. If nd plays like they can and don't make mistakes nd doesn't even have this be a close game. Or if nd makes their field goal if we're playing ifs and than Duke makes their 2 they still loose. Ifs are irrelevant and stupid
ND won by 7 so even if the Duke kicker made both FGs he missed, that's only 6 points and they still lose. ND also missed a FG. Coulda shoulda woulda. Good game.
ND was hanging over bad from Ohio State and the offense looked horrific. The Defense is legit... No time for rest.. Get healed up and pound Louisville... Louisville is a great warm for USC.
I grew up in Indiana 60 miles east of Notre Dame. And I was born with cerebral palsy, so I could not play football or sports. As a Notre Dame football fan for nearly sixty years, I have never been so excited for Irish football and with Coach Freeman. Go Irish.

@@TB-yp4un notice you didn’t call me a “liar”… f****t
@@TB-yp4un ND has grossly been disproportionately penalized so far this season. Last night was the most recent example. 12 penalties on ND, 2 on Duke. It is what it is.
@@PeteyThePandacrybaby is more appropriate
@@thelugoffgamecock792 ok f****t 👍🏻
Evans #88 a beast
I’m a duke fan for basketball but a Norte dame football fan. We needed that win.
I'm very concerned with 2 games in a row with such lack of offense. 3rd down was terrible today.
If they want any chance at beating USC they have to be able to put up 40 at the very least. Not looking so good
RJ Oben played a big role in this one, too. Can’t wait to see him and Leonard suit up for the Irish this fall.
Best ND defense I have seen in 35 years
That kid Hartman is a stud!
That duke QBs mom was right! Her son "Does Suck" 😂🤫🤦🏽👀
GO IRISH LOVE THEE NOTRE DAME
Glad the Irish pulled it off but Duke played a good game. They are gonna be tough outing for anyone they play going forward.
They lost their QB 😢 hope they do well the rest of the year
@@JETX25sorry to hear that. I'm praying he recovers soon.
ND lost on a late TD last week to Ohio State and won on a late TD this week. If they win out they should be in good position for the playoffs.
USC Ohio and Michigan are all playing each other so should be plenty of room for 1 loss teams to make playoffs
It's out the door if OSU loses closely to Michigan, unfortunately. Any combination of the 3 B1G East powerhouses will take that #4 spot ahead of us if OSU doesn't win out.
Not to mention if FSU and/or Texas run the table, either.
Go Notre Dame! For the glory of God the father! Amen!
I was at this game. Great play from ND
Audric Estime and Notre Dame offensive Line was the main factor in Notre Dame winning this game on the road.
Heartbreak man. We were sooo close😅.
Mike Elko and his coaching staff has done a great job turning this program around. Duke is going to be a tough team to beat.
Elko will have another chance at ND and he'll be up against his old QB
duke kicker gotta make those field goal would have been game changer entering the 4 quarter
Good game let's go notre dame with the win
4th and 16 and Duke gives up the game. Two chances at a pick to end the game. 2 missed field goals by the kicker. Duke really shot themselves in the foot here. Choking away a win at home is crazy.
Prayers for Dukes QB ✝️🙏🏻
Not a fan of Notre Dame but the Qb sticking around to shake the hand of the Duke Qb is pure class. Much respect for him and his parents for raising a good young man.
Terrible play calling when the guy runs for a first down and he says "He came up short (last week) but this is good".
Crazy work by Nd
13:54 This is when it gets hot. Then at 14:17! I have a special place in my heart for Notre Dame,which is where Joe Montana played!❤
One minute…
In just one minute, Duke went from having a real chance at winning the ACC and going to the playoffs…to now losing their QB and likely losing several more games.
That Defense won’t stop Louisville offense next week
Brutal way to lose. Super similar to the ND-OSU game
Yeah
Long live Notre Dame 🍀
NIU
Totally sucks to see the Duke QB get hurt at the end of the game. Hope he recovers soon. Duke was one missed FG away from having the momentum shift to put it away. Don't sleep on Duke.
Sam Hartman had another Heisman moment with that 4th and 16 run. If his coaches had trusted him more and not allowed Ohio State to get the ball back, he'd be the Heisman frontrunner in my mind. As it stands, Quinn Ewers is for his performances against Alabama (Top 5 team) and Kansas (Top 25), followed by Drake Maye, Bo Nix, J.J. McCarthy, and Michael Penix Jr.
Caleb Williams is unimpressive because his stats have been against bad teams, and Lee Corso and I picked him to win the Heisman in the preseason last season based off of value betting. Now that I've had a year to actually see him play, Drake Maye is far superior. These Pac-12 QBs haven't had Heisman moments because nobody plays defense in the conference. Need to wait until USC and Washington play real teams before passing judgment on those QBs
If notre dame wins out and Hartman continues to have games like this he will be a top heisman candidate.
How about that defensive battle between LSU and Ole Miss today in the SEC?
@@ADSeason25 No he won't. You know Hartman's line tonight? 15-30, 222 yards, 23 yards rushing.
I'm not saying that to knock on Hartman, I'm just saying this wasn't a Heisman performance. He had a Heisman moment, but he needs to put up the stats he was putting up in the first 4 games if he wants to win.
Love Hartman, he got it together when he needed to, and that 4th down rush followed by the spike was next level stuff. I have no doubt he'll bounce back and put on a show against Louisville.
Go Irish 🍀
@ryryfizzlehaha indeed
@@BlakeWR81 Stetson bennet wasn’t amazing last year and was a heisman candidate
Duke defensive playcalling at the end lost them a game they had in the bag and doomed their quarterback. Get better coaches
Great game for Riley hope he recovers !
Great game, awesome to see Duke hang with ND. On the other hand, hate to see ND win, and hate to see a promising QB hurt right at the end of the game.
Estime thank you
Most inexplicable gambling loss in a while if you had Duke +5.5. Notre Dame seemed to lose the game 5 different times in the last 90 seconds and somehow broke through with a TD run and conversion you wouldn't have thought they'd even need to win.
Good game for both teams. With two missed field goals this might be a different game. Iam a big 10 fan as they don’t get enough respect! Way to finish strong ND
CRAZZZY GAME~
What a game for duke hope the quarterback is okay
1:32 Excellent block by the tight end #87! If he wasn’t notre dame he woulda got a sticker for that.
They should be 6-0...
OSU finishes game winning drive, ND deserve win. ND finishes game winning drive, ND deserve win? Where’d the logic go?
This is literally last week but opposite.
I love how ND #6 hits ref in the face at 15:15.
Nortre dame lucky to survive that game
If the Duke kicker makes his FGs, Duke wins the game.
Lmao again it doesn't matter. If nd makes their field goal they beat osu. If nd plays like they can and don't make mistakes nd doesn't even have this be a close game. Or if nd makes their field goal if we're playing ifs and than Duke makes their 2 they still loose. Ifs are irrelevant and stupid
ND won by 7 so even if the Duke kicker made both FGs he missed, that's only 6 points and they still lose. ND also missed a FG. Coulda shoulda woulda. Good game.
Sam Hartman is a grown man, dude is a professional he’s been in college forever.
SAM HARTMAN IS BEYOND HUMBLE
ND was hanging over bad from Ohio State and the offense looked horrific. The Defense is legit... No time for rest.. Get healed up and pound Louisville... Louisville is a great warm for USC.
wow.......good finish boyz
I was at the game, a crazy experience for my first college football game, Go Irish ☘️
