For the final game in October, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will once again face the Navy Midshipmen, extending a rivalry that dates back to 1927. While the matchup is considered to be a longstanding rivalry, the results have gone decidedly in favor of the Irish. Overall, Notre Dame holds a commanding 82-13-1 record in the series and has won 55 of the last 59 contests between the two schools.
Brian Newberry is in his second season as head coach of the Midshipmen. He first arrived at the Naval Academy in 2019 as the squad’s defensive coordinator before being elevated to the top job last year.
