The Irish made it through Navy week with a solid win, but not necessarily unscathed. Drue Tranquill limped off with an ankle injury (that looked a lot worse at the time), and Alize Mack entered concussion protocol after a second quarter reception. Dexter Williams earned the game ball with three touchdowns, Jafar Armstrong was integral in the offense, and Troy Pride was a little shy against the run. All in all, it was a four touchdown lead at half time and a three touchdown victory. It’s on to Northwestern.
