A cold rainy day in Dublin, Ireland beget an emphatic Navy loss in the opening game of the 2023 college football season.
Notre Dame, playing host on the Emerald Isle, dominated the Midshipmen to the tune of 42-3 on Saturday afternoon. It was also the first game for new head coach Brian Newberry at the helm.
“That’s a heck of a football team we played tonight” said Newberry after the game. “ I’m disappointed. It’s not what we hoped for, not what we expected. I didn’t think it would take a miracle to win the game, but I knew we would have to play our best.
