In my preview post, I asked if today’s game would be fun or frustrating before predicting that it would be both. That prediction proved to be accurate as the Irish won by 28 points over Navy, but in the process, they still had moments that caused frustration and consternation amongst the Notre Dame fan base. Still, the Irish improved to 8-1 on the season while other top-10 teams just keep losing and still have an 11-1 record in reach with just one more challenging contest on their slate.

Marcus Freeman saw the option before in his time at Cincinnati and learned some lessons the hard way.
