Duke vs. Notre Dame live stream: How to watch the college football matchup from anywhere

In Notre Dame's first college football game of the year, the Fighting Irish will be taking on the Duke Blue Devils. Last year, Notre Dame took out Duke without too much resistance. Duke may have lost the previous matchup 38-7, but this is a new season and another chance to turn things around. For Duke, the roster also looks different than it did last year. Chase Brice in the quarterback slot and Deon Jackson as running back should be a serious combination and get Duke more points on the board against Notre Dame.

On Notre Dame's side, Ian Book under new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will try to cut down on mistakes and run up the score even more. Despite the disproportionate score of last year's matchup, this year's game should be competitive. Overall Notre Dame's rushing game and effective defense should be enough to win again. Even if Duke can't come away with the win, it should be able to put up a respectable fight and keep things interesting from start to finish.
