But remember the ND team for 1965: relatively new players, with NO established QB (Huarte and Snow graduated the year before).
Remember what they did to USC. ND won handily, and stifled their Halfback who won the Heismann that same year. ND held Mike Garrett to 43 total yards in the entire game. He had been averaging about 150 yards previously per game.

IT IS POSSIBLE! Go Irish! Beat AFA!

Tremendous run support corners (Blanton and Gray) and two experienced safeties (Smith and Slaughter) make the perimeter runs very difficult, and Teo takes care of the inside.

They don’t score 10 points unless they run an INT back for a TD.

ND – 42
AF – 9

Diaco has not yet proved that he can stop or even stall the option offense (armys poor excuse for a game last year does not count). Sad Warrior , you are sadly mistaken when you say “ND is superior in every facet of the game” . The special teams is definetely in favor of the academy. Long drives will allow AFA to stay in the game as long as ND (defense) will let them and more importantly if the irish turn the ball over as much as they are accustom to, AFA could posess the football for an entire quarter. Its will be hard for Notre Dame to make this a “rout” if they turn the ball over early and their offense cant be on the field. However, i hope the irish run away with this one, but the fellas in south bend are going to have to execute.

Translation: AF will score; but not often. ND will score, virtually at will. Business as usual Notre Dame . . . kick the crap out of them!

They should have lost to Navy last week, but Navy beat themselves. The easiest and least stressful way to win will be to put 3 TDs up early, like TCU did against them. That is the best case scenario, but with Notre Dame they always manage to interesting. I think we sill contain the run game in the 2nd half after some adjustments. Either way talent will take over, and ND will come out on top 34 – 24. As far as the triple option goes I am more worried about Navy.
Still holding at 9-3 with a greater chance to the down side at 8-4…Old Notre Dame will win over all.

Agreed! And I hadn’t even read his cocky comments at the time I wrote the post. Our defense has been hitting hard and if wants to go and make them that much more angry go for it, he’s gonna be eatin some turf on Saturday. I agree with you too Joe. How painful was it to watch the streak broke against Navy back in ’07 and then Weis made the guys all go over and lock arms with and sway with Navy during their song afterward. There’s such a thing as having Too much respect for an opponent too and now that we’re a better team again it’s time to start taking these academy teams back behind the woodshed!
