Notre Week 9 highlight: Fighting Irish recover muffed Navy punt

Notre Dame gets another Navy fumble.

No. 24 Navy keeps turning the ball over to No. 12 Notre Dame.

Midshipman Isaiah Bryant fumbled a James Rendell punt and the Irish pounced on it.

Navy has turned the ball over three times on fumbles, though Notre Dame hasn’t converted all three opportunities into points. One fumble led to a Notre Dame touchdown, one led to a missed Notre Dame field goal, and this fumble has led to an Irish drive that’s still ongoing.
