There was actually some doubt from the experts coming into today’s game between the Navy Midshipmen and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Navy was 6-0 and looked pretty explosive with their new “Sling T” offense.
And then the game turned into a slow rolling blowout as the Middies turned the ball over six times on the day, as the Irish went on to win 51-14.
Notre Dame took the opening drive 75 yards on 9 plays and scored on a short Riley Leonard touchdown run to make it 7-0. Leonard was 4-4 during the drive and looked remarkably improved as a passer.
