Navy Almost Does it Again

Down 27-7 in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame seemed assured to avoid a second straight embarrassment at the hands of Navy. Last year, the Midshipmen beat the Irish for the first time in 44 years ... and it took three overtimes to vanquish the longtime masters of the rivalry.

But Navy made this edition interesting, by recovering two onside kicks in the final minutes. After a score with 1 minute 53 seconds, Navy recovered the kick and scored three plays later. The Midshipmen lined up for another onside try ... and three N.D. players watched it sail by and into the arms of a Navy man.

Unfortunately, Navy couldn't move the ball from there and turned it over on downs, sealing Notre Dame's 27-21 victory. It made for excellent viewing, though ... unless you're a Notre Dame fan. In that case, let's hope the antacids were closer to your grasp than the whiskey.

lol navy almost had it again last i checked the refs almost gave the game away.  i didnt know that half of your foot in bounds and half out of bounds equals a catch.  last i checked your whole foot had to be in bounds unless dragged and clearly he didnt drag it.

other wise decent game congratz to notre dame bowl eligible and the big east refs seriously need to go back to ref school cause this is not the first game they have messed up badly in

My lord, quite crying. ND is notorious for getting the calls, and when something doesn’t go your way you get all upset. I’ll call the whambulance for you! ND will get beaten again in the Gator Bowl, and I’ll be watching.

I forget what comic I’m stealing this from, but I always felt bad during the Cold War when the Red Army teams would win a bunch of gold medals while our Army team was losing to William and Mary.
