Notre Dame began the second half of its regular season with a convincing 31-13 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday and now faces an unexpected challenge this week. That comes in the form of the Navy Midshipmen who are undefeated at 6-0, a stark change from the past four losing seasons in which they compiled a mark of 16-30.
These two iconic institutions first met in 1927, with this clash marking the 96th meeting. The Irish have dominated in the series, currently holding an 82-13-1 advantage and have won the last six games, as well as 11 of the past 12.
