Notre Dame vs. Duke final score, highlights: Irish come from behind to win it on last drive

"College GameDay" was in Durham for the first time ever for No. 13 Notre Dame's matchup with No. 16 Duke on Saturday, and was treated to an incredible matchup.

This week, it Notre Dame was on the winning end of a last-second, game-deciding drive. Hartman brought the Fighting Irish from the 5-yard line to the end zone, including a huge fourth down conversion on a fourth-and-16.

Notre Dame dominated the first half, going into the break up 10-0 before Duke fought back in the second, scoring two touchdowns to take the 14-13 lead. Duke quarterback Riley Leonard left it all on the line, and left the game in its final seconds with what looked like a brutal ankle injury.

But Notre Dame re-set their season with a big win over a ranked opponent and kept itself in contention for the College Football Playoff.
