Know Your Notre Dame Football Enemy: Navy

Since 2000, Navy has been the dominant military academy. Of the 18 Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy’s awarded in that time, Navy has won 10. Under coach Ken Niumatalolo, Navy has become a respected program that can compete against anyone, including Notre Dame football.

Of course, since Keenan Reynolds moved on, Navy hasn’t been nearly as good as they were. Last season, the Midshipmen finished a putrid 3-9.

That’s unlikely to happen again. Navy is too well coached and disciplined. As they stand now, Navy is a good triple-option quarterback away from being a bowl team again.

As far as Navy’s offense, everyone knows what to expect — the triple option.
