No. 12 Notre Dame delivered a 51-14 victory over No. 24 Navy on Saturday, putting an end to the Midshipmen's previous unbeaten streak. Jeremiyah Love showcased impressive skills, rushing for 102 yards and scoring two touchdowns; it marked his eighth consecutive game in which he rushed for a touchdown. Bolstered by quarterback Riley Leonard's multifaceted performance—one rushing TD and two passing touchdowns—the Fighting Irish extended their winning streak against Navy to seven games.
Navy's generally disciplined play unraveled, with five lost fumbles contributing to Notre Dame's dominance. The errors resulted in a sizable 28 points for the Irish, including a Jaylen Sneed recovery touchdown off a Blake Horvath fumble. Notre Dame's varied attacks included a late 4-yard TD from Kedren Young and turnovers that set up Leonard's 6-yard TD connection to Kris Mitchell.
Notre Dame outperformed Navy in yardage, amassing 466 yards compared to Navy's 310. Although Blake Horvath impressed with a 47-yard touchdown and 129 rushing yards in total, Navy seemed unable to cope with Notre Dame's speed and talent. With Notre Dame's consistent offensive output of at least 30 points in four consecutive games, they appear likely to ascend in the rankings. Conversely, Navy, coming off a subpar performance, faces the possibility of being removed from the poll. Notre Dame next enjoys a bye, gearing up for Florida State, while Navy sets their sights on Rice. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
