The 1960 Duke Blue Devils football team represented Duke University during the 1960 college football season.[2] Led by eighth-year head coach William D. Murray, the Blue Devils were Atlantic Coast Conference champions,[3][4][5][6] and won the Cotton Bowl by a point over favored Arkansas.[7][8][9]
It was Duke's sixth and most recent major bowl appearance, and its only trip to the Cotton Bowl. The program's next bowl was nearly three decades away, in 1989,[10] and the next bowl win came in 2015.
