Nov 18 | Navy

[BGIF]

The good news is we should be able to execute whatever offense we want against Navy. I'm not really sold on our defense anymore so this could be a shoot out, but I'm 100% confident Navy's defense will not be able to stop our ground attack. We could run for 500 yards on them.

We could throw for 500 yards on them. Their secondary is very weak against the pass.

Travelling from Los Angeles with my family to this game. It will be my first game at ND. Going to drive from Chicago day of. Any must do things on campus? Any recommendations re parking, tailgating, staying warm, where to eat in town, etc? It will probably be my only trip and I have limited time, so I want to make the best of it.

Post when you arrive and where you're staying. People can tailor responses to those qualifiers. No need to tell you about Thurs or Fri activities if you are arriving Saturday around kickoff time or if you're staying in Chicago. The link above is a good start.

ND should score on every possession. If this game starts out slow...

I know people already put up the gameday link with ideas of what to do around campus, but one other thing to note is that ND is in Eastern timezone, so you'll lose an hour getting there. The game starts at 2:30 Chicago time/3:30 South bend.

Thanks!

Feel free to give me a pm w/ any questions as everything is still pretty fresh

I'm not even sure I own clothes for that type of weather. Do they have ND ski pants in the bookstore?

Long sleeve weather for those of us from Michiana.

Plus you get that weather every year in NC. Of course unless you're with the National Guard, you aren't out in it... Softies.

The story of a desperate university, an incredible intervention, and a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.

Notre Dame and Navy: Why We Play, Part 2

During World War II, the Navy single-handedly rescued Notre Dame; decades later, we are still grateful.

Did you get that caramel-corn crunchy thing?

 

[Rudy89]

If we drop this game it proves our team has given up. If we come out and play like we did earlier this season we will be fine. The option has me terrified especially with how terrible our D can be

Am I the only one who thinks this does more good for Navy than us?

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

This game really scares me now after our loss! We need to go back to dominating in the trenches and move the ball. Our defense needs to come to play. This game comes down to earning respect and guys coming into this game focused!! At Notre Dame every game is crucial and potentially season breaking. We got to be ready to play this Saturday both physically and emotionally!! If we don't then expect the unexpected. I really hope we set the tone early as our guys are focused and ready to play!!! Hope we win by 20 plus!!!

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Uggggh. We went from dominating people and riding high, to considering Wake Forest a trap game, and being worried about Navy, in a matter of two weeks. How the worm has turned......

That’s been my entire life as an ND fan im used to that.

 

[irish4ever]

Yes. Plus, Navy seems to always play ND tough and it's on senior day (call it emotions or whatever, the Irish usually underperform then also). I wouldn't be surprised to see a sloppy 4-7 point win by the Irish.
