After upsetting Clemson earlier in the year and nearly pulling off the upset against Notre Dame Saturday, Pat Welter examines whether it's time to reevaluate our perception of Duke football going forward.
FOOTBALL HERE. CHARLOTTE, CHRIS LEE, WRAL, SPORTS. >> I'M NOT SAYING GOD IS A NOTRE DAME FAN, BUT MAN, IT FEELS LIKE THE UNIVERSE IS BACK ON ITS AXIS. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN DURHAM, AUDREY THE GAME WINNING TOUCHDOWN LAST NIGHT AS NOTRE DAME BEATS TO 21 14, IT WAS HEARTBREAK IN THE FINAL MINUTE. BUT THAT KIND OF SAYS IT. ALL RIGHT THERE. 2 YEARS AGO, WE COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE THIS CONVERSATION THAT'S THE REAL WENT. >> THIS TEAM BELIEVES AND WHO THEY ARE. THEY BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY'RE CAPABLE LOVE. ONE KID IN THAT LOCKER ROOM AT THAT WERE GOING ON THIS STAGE NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH NOTRE DAME.

LEONARD EMBODIES THE DUKE STORY. 3 STAR PLAYER OVERLOOKED COMING OUT OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA. A BABY FACE MILE OFF THE FIELD. BUT HIS NAILS ON. LEONARD INJURED ON DUKE'S FINAL OFFENSIVE PLAY. SAM HARTMAN WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT OF THE TENT. TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE KIDS. >> JUST A DOG. ARE. >> EVERYONE'S WONDERING WHEN AND IF OUT KOHLI'S. WE'RE ENTERING A BYE WEEK. WE MIGHT SEE THEM PUSH OUT THEIR QB. IF THAT HAPPENS, PEOPLE WRITE THEM OFF. WHAT I WANT, NOTRE DAME, IT GOD'S TEAM, BUT IT'S
