Notre Dame Naysayers Beware
I’m really looking forward to seeing how folks try to invalidate Notre Dame beating the brakes off of an undefeated, ranked Navy team who has run train on its schedule to date.

A Great Win for Notre Dame
Great game for Notre Dame. Leonard and offense were great again. Defense has so many dudes even with so many injuries. Refs called a BS roughing call when the game was out of hand just to make me feel something. Good job everyone on playing your role.

FINAL

Notre Dame 51
Navy 14
Total domination from the Irish in all phases entering the second bye week. When the first CFP rankings come out on Nov. 5, Notre Dame should be in the mix. Irish looking more and more like the real deal.
