In 2022, Notre Dame sailed by Navy, 35-32. The Irish led 35-13 at halftime before allowing the Midshipmen to score 19 unanswered points in the second half. Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne completed 17 of 21 passes for 269 yards and four touchdowns. Irish running back Audric Estime rushed for 49 yards on just 8 carries (6.1 YPC).
