21-14 Notre Dame final.
The game saw Sam Hartman and the Irish make a 95-yard drive with 2 minutes left in the game that included a 17-yard scramble by Hartman on 4th and 16 (following an offensive pass interference penalty on 2nd down) with 41 seconds left and a 30 yard rushing TD to clinch the lead with 31 seconds in the game.
Although, Duke still had 3 timeouts left, the game ended on 2nd and 5, when Duke QB Riley Leonard was sacked and fumbled the ball with 18 seconds left in the game.
Unfortunately on the last sack of the game, Duke’s starting QB came down with all his weight (and the Notre Dame player’s weight) on his ankle as he rolled it, and left the game on crutches. While it remains to be seen whether the injury is a break or a sprain, it’s still a huge blow to the offense of a Blue Devils team that was off to a great start and might have had much more ahead of them given a very favorable remaining conference schedule.
