Navy Will Come to South Bend off Loss to Delaware

Navy lost to Delaware in college football action this past Saturday. The Midshipmen are set to come to Notre Dame for a game against the Fighting Irish this next weekend, but they will be coming off two straight loses, the latest an offensive frenzy that saw Navy lose 59-52 in a game where a combined 1087 yards were gained. To a certain extent, the result is frightening for the Irish, who have had problems putting their own points on the board, and might not be able to keep pace with Navy this upcoming weekend. On the other hand, Navy has clearly shown that it can give up a lot of points on defense as well, so there might be hope that the Irish can come up with their best offensive effort of the season.

Probably the best thing about the Navy game was that the Midshipmen let one get away from them that they could have and should have won. The Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens are in the Bowl Subdivision I-AA, and thus entered the game as the underdogs even though they are now 7-1 and Navy is now 4-4. Notre Dame will be the underdogs this weekend, but they know that it’s still possible to get an upset out of the quick-scoring Midshipmen.
