Well, it wasn’t the blowout that I was expecting, or at least hoping for, but a win is definitely a win. Our defense continues to show some holes in the secondary, but overall I think it was a good day for the Fighting Irish. How did the Notre Dame defense perform against the Naval Academy? Let’s take a look!
The Notre Dame defense held the Navy offense to 16 first downs. They did a fantastic job at stopping the Navy passing game, holding them to just 22 net yards of passing, but the run game is another story.
