Notre Dame vs Navy Game Preview

Why Navy Will Win

The defense is playing well enough to keep this interesting.

The offense isn’t running and controlling games like it might want to, but the run defense was great against Cincinnati, it’s been able to hold up enough to stay in games, and the whole formula might slow things down.

No, the running game doesn’t go on enough long, good marches, but the team still holds the ball for close to 35 minutes.

However …

Why Notre Dame Will Win

Everyone is throwing on the Midshipmen.

Notre Dame isn’t throwing well enough to bomb away, but it doesn’t need to be Tennessee to open things up. As long as Drew Pyne is able to hit half of his passes and connect on the third down shots, the running game will do the rest.

The offense doesn’t have to take any chances. Just keep moving, and the defense that held Clemson to 90 yards on the ground and hasn’t allowed more than 100 rushing yards five of the last seven games should take care of the rest.

What’s Going To Happen

Navy is 1-5 when it doesn’t run for more than 215 yards, and 2-1 when it does. Marshall is the only team to get past 215 against the Irish – Navy won’t get there.

The style of the Midshipmen will keep this from getting too out of hand, but Notre Dame will be in control from the late first quarter on.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Notre Dame vs Navy Game Preview


Why Navy Will Win

Navy might not be as strong or as effective as it should be – the running game isn’t a dominant force that takes over games – but it’s still Navy.

This team still controls the clock, it still runs the option, and it’s getting just good enough to push good teams like Cincinnati and SMU even when it’s not running for 300 yards.

Notre Dame’s defense has been terrific all season long, but it just got hit by North Carolina for 224 yards. As much as Navy wants to slow things down, it’s going to be even more deliberate in this – it’ll have the ball for 36 minutes. However …

College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 10

Why Notre Dame Will Win

Notre Dame’s defense is having problems … against teams that can throw.

North Carolina might have run well last week, but that’s a totally different animal than what Navy brings – the Midshipmen don’t have Sam Howell at quarterback.

You threw for as many yards last week as Navy did in its win over Tulsa.

Yeah, it’s Navy, and yeah, it might have a knuckleball of an offense, but the Irish defensive front isn’t going to allow anything from the fullbacks up the gut and there won’t be any issues for this linebacking corps to hold up on the outside.

And that’s the option – do both of those things, and everything will be okay.

Along with a defense that should be able to handle what’s coming …

What’s Going To Happen

Notre Dame has an offense, too.

There’s no need to take any chances here. Run the ball, keep running it, and give Navy a taste of its own medicine by controlling the clock enough on the ground to matter.

Safe, easy throws. Don’t be afraid to punt and win the field position battle, and don’t give the Navy offense anything easy to work with. The Irish can do that – it only has one turnover in the last four games.

Don’t expect sensational – there might not be another run like Kyren Williams came up with last week against the Tar Heels – but methodical will work.
