You have to remember that Navy is not Army or Air Force and that only 2 games really matter the most to them–1-Army 2- Notre Dame.

I just cannot see the ND scoring machine we saw vs Air Force.

Year after year regardless of the coach we have had physically superior players get pushed around by jack rabbits.

My mind tells me we score at will but my gut tells me–it won’t happen.

I do not believe this ND team will be able to stop the Navy option attack–simply too quick and fast paced. Nix will sag by mid 3rd quarter if not earlier. The cut blocks will also negate our size advantage.

ND has to jump out fast to win and simply outscore Navy.

This is Diaco vs Navy head coach battle(can’t say or spell his name).

High scoring game decided in 4th quarter and ND staggers away with a FG win.

Just remember Navy only lost to South Carolina(6-1) by 3.

Prediction:

ND 45 NAVY 42
