Its time for the annual Navy game and the Irish Sports Talk staff score predictions vary a lot, but they do have one common thread, everyone predicts a win!
Randall Mast Record 3-2
Notre Dame will will come out and start fast with two quick scores and settle into the game and get the running game established and CJ Prosise gets back on track. Notre Dame defense relaxes to much and lets Navy get back in the game and before Notre Dame finds its rhythm again, Navy takes the lead. Notre Dame defense steps up its game in the second half behind Elijah Shumate and Notre Dame wins a closer than expected game. Final Score: Notre Dame 45, Navy 35
Reuben Hochstetler Record 4-1
Notre Dame comes out angry and focused. Will Fuller gets back on track as a 100+ receiver and the running attack gets back to usual. Wimbush gets into the game in the second half and throws his first TD pass. The defense prep and research pays off in defending the second triple option offense to visit South Bend, holding Navy to 17 total points. Final Score: Notre Dame 65, Navy 17
Tony Berkshire Record 4-1
After a heart breaking loss at Clemson, we get to see what this team is made up of. Notre Dame comes out of the gate physical and aggressive, controlling both lines of scrimmage. Deshone Kizer puts on a passong clinic with 420 yards passing and four touchdowns to four different receivers. For the first time this year, Navy is shut out in the first half. Final Score: Notre Dame 48, Navy 13
Kyle Miller Record 3-2
Notre Dame comes out flat on both sides of the ball and Navy scores first. After a sluggish first half, Notre Dame has a great 3rd quarter and holds off a late push by Navy to win the game. Jaylon Smith ends up with 13 tackles and 1 interception. Final Score: Notre Dame 31, Navy 24
