This week, Georgia Tech coach Johnson wasn’t much in a mood to wax eloquent about the 2007 Navy win over Notre Dame. It ended a 43-game losing streak to the Irish, which was an NCAA record for most consecutive wins by one major college football team over another.
“To me, honestly, it was just like any other game,” he said. “The last one we were there (in 2007), we won, which was huge, and we celebrated, and then almost lost to North Texas the next week.”
Navy won 74-62 over North Texas, setting an NCAA record for most combined in an FBS game.
