No. 10 Notre Dame vs Navy: Time, TV, Preview & Prediction​


SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The respect is matched only by the unique difficulty. Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly opened his week discussing the tradition of playing Navy and the “incredible amount of respect” he has for both the Midshipmen and this series, about to kick off its 94th meeting. His very next sentence, the second one of his week, acknowledged the triple-option’s frustrations.

“It’s a hard game, it’s a difficult game, I’ll be quite honest with you,” Kelly said. “These games are never easy because you’re playing a style of football that goes contrary to what you’ve been teaching for the past four months. It’s a challenge to the coaches and the players to prepare themselves, and you’re preparing against great competitors.

The weaknesses usually derive from the obvious recruiting limitations of a service academy, but this year they have also stemmed from the Midshipmen not having a transcendent quarterback, a la Keenan Reynolds or Malcolm Perry. Without such a star, Navy has struggled to a 2-6 record while averaging fewer than 20 points per game.

Kelly was watching his son, Kenzel, play Ketterer’s school — New Prairie High School, about 20 miles west of South Bend — when Ketterer caught the Irish head coach’s eye a few years ago.

“I just really liked the way he competed,” Kelly said Thursday. “I liked his athleticism. We’re always looking for that preferred walk-on quarterback that can help us with the triple-option, and I thought he’d be a great fit. …

“Certainly glad that night happened, got a chance to see my son play and found our quarterback to help us with Navy. He helps us in other areas, as well. He’s a really valued member of our football team.
Fact of the matter is, Notre Dame has had little trouble against Navy of late.

In their three meetings during the Irish resurgence since the start of 2017, Notre Dame has won by an average score of 40-20

Irish eyes will be a smiling

Notre Dame 45, Navy 17.

8/31

Minnesota 8 point favorite against Nebraska :+clueless

Notre Dame game is under the lights..

Notre Dame vs. Navy football game prediction: Who wins, and why?​


The difference by far in this game is Notre Dame's overwhelming advantage at quarterback, a well-traveled veteran who should find throwing lanes against a Navy secondary that was 11th in the AAC in pass efficiency and 98th overall against the pass last year. Hartman has nearly 13,000 career passing yards with 110 career TD passes against 41 INTs and is coming off a 63.1 percent campaign for 3,701 yards.

Sam Hartman has thrown 77 touchdown passes in the last two years, the most of any quarterback in the Power Five

ND owns a margin of victory of 33.5 points over Navy when playing in Ireland. I'll be looking for Notre Dame to establish their run game early and let Hartman air it out... Under 24 1/2 First half 17-6
