It seems like every year, despite how good or bad each team is, the Navy-Notre Dame game is much closer than it’s “supposed to be”. In reality, the Midshipmen’s triple-option offense has the ability to knock any team of their rhythm. The last time Navy took down Notre Dame was in 2016 when the game was played at a neutral location in Jacksonville, Florida.

This year won’t be like 2016. The game is in South Bend and the Midshipmen are in a sort of rebuilding year. In general, they have an incredible athlete at quarterback in Malcolm Perry. However, he alone, is the only proven player on Navy. Additionally, nearly the entire defensive coaching staff is brand new.

Navy will improve from their 3-9, 2018 season, but it won’t be with a win over the Irish. As usual, the Midshipmen will not roll over, but rather put up a solid fight come Week 10.

Final: Navy 24, Notre Dame 38 (9-1)
