Notre Dame Week 9 highlight: Another Navy muffed punt

Yet another muffed punt for Navy against Notre Dame.

No. 12 Notre Dame has recovered not one but two muffed punts by No. 24 Navy.

This time, Eli Heidenreich fumbled a James Rendell punt that was recovered by Rod Heard II.

This set the Fighting Irish up at the Midshipmen 16-yard-line. Once again, Notre Dame had a short field due to a Navy turnover.

Navy has had several unforced errors against the Fighting Irish today at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which is a big reason why Notre Dame is dominating this game.
