We really should take Navy down just by talent and physical dominance alone! We WILL score a lot! There is NO reason why we should not beat Navy by 3-4 TD's! IF we come out and not dominate both offensively and defensively, THAT will be TOTALLY on the LEADERS AND COACHES!

Agreed. Hate to be Navy. They are going to be punished...

I hope the players come out motivated and pi$$ed off. If they do, that won't hurt anything because I have less confidence in the coaching staff after last week.

If they don’t hoard 50 minutes of play clock, we score 52pts. Jk

It’ll be interesting. My concern is more of putting em to bed early & stayimg healthy. I hate their “blocking” & i cringe when watching

Not so fast my friend

.

Navy is disciplined and well coached. Like any team with just a mediocre coach they are gonna play the run and make bw beat them with his arm.

 

Also, a couple of years back when we played them they were very physical with cj procise. Even drawing late hits violations i believe. They will pound adams knowing he's quick to call it a day after a few hits.

 

Finally I'm concerned about our bend dont break philosophy vs the triple option. We need to be able to go after them. Play fast.

You don't think the 8 other teams ND has beaten have tried this? With better athletes?

 

ND has been slowed by two of the better defenses in the country who had top flight athletes. Navy is/has neither.

EXACTLY! This team needs to punish them! Physically run OVER them. From the first snap, DOMINATE them!

8 games in you are who you are. Navy has an offense and blockibg scheme some of our players may fear. A couple of good hits on adams and he's running for the locker room.

 

I'm not predicting a loss but i cant predict how we approach this game as well. No one has mistaken us for tough in a long time. If we get punched in the mouth early, I'll expect a weekend filled with fire bk threads

Well, sh1t... if we measure up like that, then maybe the Fighting Irish SHOULD lose the “fighting” portion of the monicker & apply for Ivy League or D2 status. It’s not like many fans say “fighting” anymore...

Never underestimate Navy.

Never underestimate Navy.

 

Hmmm...couldn’t that logic be applied to all who enter Notre Dame Stadium?

This game should come down to the defense. Get an early stop or two and it should be game over. Unless something goes seriously wrong, no way Navy should be able to stop the Irish offense.

I am willing to bet Alohi Gilman had some insight on the defensive game plan this week.

That's probably one of the reasons he was brought on board.

Welllllll, of what I expected but here's hoping they saved their best to punch the smugness off Shaw's face. Can't stand the way he looks. Your sh!t too does stink, Mr. Shaw, your sh!t too stinks...

Racist...

 

Joking....Yes, that look as he decided to go for it at the end was so annoying...ND has played pretty flat now for 10 quarters....Time to wake up, and put a good game together!

Racist...

 

Joking....

 

No I'm not and I have a Darius Rucker cd to prove it...

Had to look him up...listened to one of his songs...regretted it as it prompted an early morning puking burp...

I saw too many fundamentals breakdowns in the back 7 tackling. Hitting guys hoping they'd go down without wrapping up.

Look him up? Did you not live through the 90s? Everyone knows Hootie and the Blowfish!
