The offensive line did not give up a sack on Saturday
improving on their #13 national ranking allowing .88 sacks per game.
Tommy Rees moved up in the Notre Dame record books with his
21st career win as a starter as quarterback sliding into ninth place
all time, now ahead of John Lujack and Joe Theismann.
The Irish offense was moving forward all day against the
Midshipmen; the only negative yardage the Irish had on Saturday were the three
kneel downs at the end of the game.
Tarean Folston’s 140 yards was a bit more impressive than
first thought; he was the first freshman to run for 100 yards since Robert
Hughes in 2007.
With the Irish not needing to punt on Saturday Notre Dame
has attempted just seven times in the last 616 offensive plays.
Just winning keeps Notre Dame in good company, being 27-4 in
their last 31 regular season games means only Alabama and Oregon have better
records during that stretch.
Irish efficiency; in the second half Notre Dame had four possessions
and had three touchdowns (the last possession ended in kneel downs and the end
of the game.
Returning to Glory; with Notre dame’s seventh win on the
season it is the first time since Dan Devine that an Irish head coach has won
at least seven games in each of his first four years.
The defense needs to rest; Notre Dame’s defense let Navy
convert 10 of their 16 third downs.
Discipline; Notre Dame committed five penalties, Navy –
zero.
Saturday's 9 lead changes were the most in any game in Irish
history - just one interesting note from "Inside NDFB."
Extreme Makeover South Bend Edition; Kelly seemed to
continue his hinting turf is coming “It’s going to be resolved. It will be handled. Jack Swarbrick will take care of it. It will
be handled. It’s not an easy fix. This is not just roll out some grass and tamp
it down. So it will be something that will have to be worked on in the off
season, looked at extensively, and we’ll come up with a solution.”
