Navy at Notre Dame

Maryland Giant : 11/12/2019 4:31 pm
Heading to the game in South Bend this week. First time the teams have played while both ranked since 1978. Navy has a puncher's chance. Defense is sooooo much better this year.

Navy leads the nation in rushing, and QB Malcolm Perry is 5th in the nation in rushing yards per game with a QB efficiency rating (188) that would put him 5th in the nation but for not being ranked due to only 52 attempts. He is averaging over 26 yards per completion and over 13 yards per attempt.

Yet, they still have to play a near flawless game I imagine as the size, strength, talent gap is pretty sizeable.

Mids still have an outside chance at New Years Day six which would require wins over Notre Dame, home v SMU, and Army on Dec 14 in Philly.

Great year and a pretty cool team.

as well. It's an exciting year for Navy. Remember 2007! Triple OT win. What a game that was. Maybe we can do it again. Go Navy!
Navy has beat ND 4 of the last 12 I think.

But this is not one of those unranked ND teams.

BTW, in the above, I didn't mention Navy also plays at Houston. 4-0 is pretty unlikely but that would be cool.
Of Course Navy is at the top in rushing

that's all they do. They throw like 6 passes a game.

You are correct. Everybody knows they are going to run and yet they are #5 in FBS in yards per carry (6.1).

have turned it around. They had been in a downward path and I thought is because the coach had looked at a couple other jobs and it hurt recruiting. Let's hope they pull it out against ND and then the big test of the turnaround is establishing dominance over Army again!

The D has been so much better this year.
