Navy tackling has been atrocious. Houston already 6-7 on 3rd down too.

 

[FearTheBeard]

Navy keeping houston honest with a couple nice pass plays

 

[IrishLax]

If Navy loses this game we have no chance of making the playoffs besides chaos.

 

[Bugzly21]

Houston D is controlling Navy

 

[BGIF]

Navy out gaining Houston 9.3 to 5.7 yds/play BUT only running 22 plays to Houston's 49.

ND's only realistic chance has been OU losing tomorrow night. The Navy game doesn't have any bearing on that.

This one is over though. Houston is absolutely dominating this game.

 

[phillyirish]

Navy down 17 now. Not sure the triple option can overcome that.

I think that was always going to be true if OU won out, given the "definitively better" rule.

This is wrong on like 3 different levels.

1. Even if Oklahoma loses to Oklahoma State, if Navy+Pittsburgh+Temple+USC all lose this week then we're stuck without any good wins and will get passed by someone like Baylor (or even Oklahoma State).

2. Notre Dame's clearest path to the playoffs actually has nothing to do with Oklahoma.
2A. Iowa losing to Nebraska and MSU losing to PSU has a much greater chance of putting ND in the final four than Oklahoma.
2B. The least likely but overall best chance of ND getting in is for Alabama simply to lose to Auburn this week.

3. The game isn't over, but it's close. Saying a 2 score game is "over" with 20 minutes+ to play is silly.

Poor tackling and inability to get off field on 3rd

 

[NDdomer2]

WHAT A CATCH

 

[phillyirish]

Wow. What a catch.



Well.... uhm...... lets go Temple!!! ( btw I think they lose to uconn too).

 

[greyhammer90]

WHAT A CATCH

That was sick.










Brb making a noose.

 

[BGIF]

11 plays for 3 points while chewing up 6 minutes = death.

Another drive like that and the Fat Lady Sings.

Ya but if OK and MSU or Iowa win out we are probably looking in from outside regardless of if Navy wins out of not.

when you say "if Navy loses we have no hope", it implies we would get in all other things equal if Navy wins. Which, to me isn't true.

If we won and OU lost, I think we'd be in, regardless of what Navy, Pitt, etc., did.

1. I highly doubt the committee would punish ND, if the beat Stanford, for their opponents losing. They haven't been punishing other teams for it. It's unreasonable to think that if ND has an impressive win over Stanford, but their opponents have a bad week, that the committee would look down on ND.

2. This is simply wrong. It's been acknowledged for weeks that OU is ND's biggest competition. The scenario you laid out requires three games to go ND's way (Iowa, Sparty, and OSU all losing), while with OU, you only need one game to go your way. OU losing is the simplest/easiest/most realistic path to ND making the playoff. It's really not even disputable. Baylor wouldn't jump ND after having a (potentially) less impressive win this weekend, and the committee isn't high on OK ST due to their cupcake schedule. If ND wins and OU loses, I will wager any real/vbuck amount that ND is in.

3. Given Navy's complete inability to stop Houston on offense, it wasn't a huge reach at all to say the game was over. They've gotten one stop all day, ffs.

Navy can't f*cking tackle

 

[IrishHokie22]

I have nothing but respect for Navy, but their defense is absolutely pitiful.

 

[NDdomer2]

Agree. But that's not the scenario being discussed.

 

[NDgradstudent]

It's a shame- they are moving the ball reasonably well but can't get a stop. Should be looking to tie the game now, instead of down three scores.

 

[dad4aa]

If 68 on Navy would have gone up for the ball instead of waiting for it, he would have caught the onside kick. The Temple player knocked the ball away and out of bounds. For those watching, I remember discussions of onside kicks during one of our games where it was brought up a player could not "bat the ball". How is this different?

Any time your have to put fourth any faith in the american conference you know you are in trouble.

Yup, I was gritting my teeth for the last month as we were talking about how our schedule was good because of Navy and Temple.
