No. 12 Notre Dame took advantage of a fumble from No. 24 Navy — Fighting Irish quarterback Riley Leonard found wide receiver Kris Mitchell for a 6-yard touchdown pass.
That finished off a 7-yard touchdown drive that took just three plays and burned 1:19 off of the clock.
Notre Dame looks ready to play in the early going — the Irish are rolling thanks to an opportunistic defense that so far isn’t too fazed by Navy’s diverse offensive attack.
The Fighting Irish have dominated the first quarter, and that’s a good sign for a team that probably needs to win out to earn a playoff berth.
