Duke opens the 2020 football season at Notre Dame on Saturday. Blue Devil Country's Shawn Krest appeared on sister site Irish Breakdown's Opponent Insider podcast to discuss the game.

Here's a timeline of the show:

1:34 - Shawn talks about the reaction from Duke fans regarding Notre Dame being a member of the ACC, and whether or not Duke and ACC fans would want the Irish in as a full-time member.

2:54 - The discussion turns to how head coach David Cutcliffe has handled the tumultuous offseason, and how prepared the Blue Devils are for the season.

5:39 - Shawn talks about the impact of grad transfer quarterback Chase Brice on the offense, and how quickly he was able to get caught up to speed.

7:17 - Cutcliffe will be calling plays in 2020, and Krest talks about what that means for the Blue Devil offense.

7:58 - Shawn talks about the weapons that Brice will have to throw to, and how improved that group should be in 2020.

9:01 - Despite the loss of All-ACC center Jack Wohlabaugh, Shawn believes the Blue Devil offensive line should be much improved from last season.

10:50 - Duke has some talented running backs, and the pair breaks it down. Shawn talks about the potential big season from standout senior running back Deon Jackson.

12:30 - The Blue Devils might have the best edge tandem that Notre Dame will face. Shawn talks about that duo, and the rest of the defensive line, which will be a strength of the team in 2020.

13:35 - Shawn turns to the secondary, which should be loaded this season before discussing the one questionable area on defense, which is the linebackers.
