Victory: Notre Dame. Things finally started to feel like they were getting back to normal for the Irish in the second half as they beat Navy, 41-24. After giving up over 200 yards rushing to Navy in the first half, Notre Dame buckled down and held Navy in check in the second half as the Midshipmen “only” ended the game with 318 yards rushing and 340 yards total.
