In reply to GOND88. If Bamma blows out LSU then you can have some concrete to stand on. They play NOBODY.

So, the first half “didn’t impress (you) much”??? Yes, I agree that the defensive performance in the second half lacked a lot to be desired, but it was a masterpiece in the first half. The team as a whole was out-Navying Navy in terms of TOP and 4th down conversions. At one point, ND was 100% on 4th down at 3-for-3, so I’m not sure how you weren’t impressed by this…. please elaborate

In reply to Drasail2.

“Letting off the gas” is NEVER a good idea, especially against a team like Navy. Until the middle of the 4th quarter it was still a 2 possession game, and they just didn’t impress me that much.

I hope we haven’t seen their best game.

GOND88: An undefeated ND team is going to the CFP.
Watching the game in the stands with Navy fans, I was comfortable with letting off the gas in the second half. Just didn’t like the breakdowns.
The band didn’t make the trip but I was pleased to hear our well spirited team sing the Alma Mater a cappella.
Jack Murphy Stadium would not be such a dump if, like everything they build in San Diego, they took care of it.
Go Irish, Beat Northwestern!

Great win overall. Need more consistency. Turning the ball over, missed extra points, and second half let downs wont cut it vs. quality opponents. This team shows flashes of greatness, no doubt they can beat anyone.

It’s probably safe to say that the Irish won’t review these game films until the off season – don’t play Navy (or the triple option) again until next year. I Drew’s ankle isn’t as bad as we thought, the D should be fine for the rest of this season – including the Playoffs.

GO IRISH!!

Geez, the D gave up almost 300 yards rushing. Bring back Van Gorder! Just kidding.

ND must win pretty from here on out to retain their ranking. They could still retain #3 spot with a close win against NW but all other wins must be double digit or blowouts or doubt will creep into the pollsters minds and rightly so given that Alabama and Clemson are completely eviscerating every team they play.

Blowout wins is the only way to erase doubts and reservations.

In reply to JERRY GREEN. So what did the first half show?

Second half interception should have never happened because on 3rd and 3 in four down territory is really stupid and a horrible call at that stage of the game when your opponent has gained some momentum. Dunce hat for the coach that made call. If these kind of calls continue a loss is inevitable. Second half game management and effort not good.

In reply to ccb. The defense completely stuffed navy, couldn't ask for more from them
