Army "held" Navy to 205 yards rushing in a losing effort.

We should really be seriously considering dropping Navy from the schedule. It's a lose-lose situation, especially with Georgia Tech tabbed for the future. It was the Navy game where the injuries began piling up, and it directly affected how this season ended. Not only that, but nobody gives us credit for playing Navy. To them, it's essentially a game against Western Carolina.

Did you WATCH the Navy game? Exactly zero injuries sustained in that game had anything to do with their scheme or blocking style. They were all random accidents and I think at least two of them were the result of Notre Dame players crashing or rolling into each other.

Sigh!

Injuries started piling up last Spring and continued through the summer. Springmann, et al. Then there were the academic self imposed injuries through incredible student stupidy that robbed the team of a couple of starters, much less healthy bodies. Then there were a number of rehabbed players like Collinsworth, Hounshell, Baratti, et al, who were re-injured. Only 3 starters on defense played every game and that doesn't include the loss of the Frozen Five. Schmidt was lost for the season in the Navy game in a scrum not due to Navy blocking.

Here's a link to an article about the loss of Springmann and the impact of the defense:

Why you should be concerned about the loss of Tony Springmann - One Foot Down


ND beat Navy by 10. OSU played Navy and won by 17 and the Buckeyes are in the playoffs.

Notre Dame played Sagarin's 41st Toughest Schedule including Navy.

OSU played the 53rd Toughest including Navy and still made the playoffs.


Navy was Ranked 75th by Sagarin. Division 1AA Western Carolina was ranked 150th. Even your hyperbole is baseless.


Tee was NEVER cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. It was discussed in detail in his profile.

Neal was discussed in detail.

Both continuing the Navy series and injuries from the Navy game were discussed in detail.

It seems almost everything you post has been discussed.

Try reading the threads there a lot of good stuff in them.
