Navy has lost 43 straight games to Notre Dame. 1963 was the last time the Midshipmen had a victory over the Fighting Irish. That was when a guy named Kennedy was president.
After losing to Delaware (52-59) last week you would assume the 44th loss would be imminent. You would assume wrong. Navy will use its top ranked rushing offense (2,743 yards) to run over Notre Dame's deficient rushing defense.
Expect Navy's coach, Paul Johnson, to use misdirection and a couple of big play-action passes to pull off the victory.
Navy 44, Notre Dame 33
