Pretty much everyone thought that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were going to have a close game against the Navy Midshipmen, but that just wasn’t the case today. Notre Dame crushed Navy 52-20 and it was a beatdown from the start.
Notre Dame scored on its first six possessions with five of those ending in the endzone for a touchdown. Four of those scores were touchdown passes from Ian Book to Chase Claypool. The Midshipmen were simply overmatched athletically, and the Irish made them pay for it through the air.
