Everyone can breathe now that the triple option is out of the way the rest of the season. Of course it didn’t come without an injury or two, as it seems to always be the case when Notre Dame football plays Navy.
Aside from “injury bugs”, the Irish ended up controlling the first half of the game both offensively and on the defensive side — which is always a relief against the Midshipmen. The second half wasn’t as pretty for the defense, which isn’t a surprise against the frustrating option. That said, the offense was solid all night.
