Brandon Wimbush runs it in from two yards out for his 14th TD run of the year.

Notre Dame 10
Navy 10

:08 | 2Q




BW showed some grit on that run.

I turned 39 earlier this month. Wimbush is unquestionably the worst passing qb at ND over that same period of time. If he doesn't have a tough time winning the qb job in the offseason/spring/summer than the 18 team is a 4-5 win team. He is horrible.

He didn't look right. He certainly doesn't look like a leader...head down, silently picking his way through players on the sideline.

Reminds me of Golson.

Offensive line blocking is just piss poor. Ineffective on many levels.

It's a roster full of delicate flowers.

So much for wearing them down with our bigger bodies.

He took the shot to the side of the head too, which is a really bad spot concussion wise.

Hopefully he's ok.

To the fire Kelly guys, there is no better option. I'm not against firing him because I don't think he will get it done at ND but there is no one better to replace him.

Is it time yet? Had enough? Is 8 freaking yrs of this crap from this guy enough? It's a joke and pathetic . If they lose this game the season is ruined . Pure and simple. I have had my fill of the so called fans on this site who endlessly support the mediocrity of the ND program under BK . Leopard s not change their spots and neither does Brian Kelly . Or Notre Dame!


Even if they win this game, no chance against Stanford or in a Big Bowl, something bigger is going on with team. They are horrible on Offense and the defense is not good enough to carry this team.

Even if ND loses half its recruiting class Kelly should be done by noon tomorrow. I know that will not happen, but this program is going no where until he is gone.

The oddity on defense is the front seven assist in sustaining the other teams' blocking.

A real shame that Finke is even playing. I feel for him. He doesn't belong and he doesn't deserve to be put in a no win situation.

I think there are 50 or more D1 coaches who could coach this ND team to a 10-10 tie at half to an American conference foe.

Need to run the ball. Sit Josh or give him very carries- he must be hurt

new game, only 2 quarters now.

about as terrible a half as you could have asked for. But we forced navy to punt a few times. Keep forcing punts and get the offense going.

I'm sick of screaming at my TV against Navy

So Matt , is safe to say the recruiting this weekend is over? Cannot even impress them vs Navy. Ouch.

Who is the first to shake lose?

I don't know. Carlyle Holiday wasn't a particularly good passer nor was Pat Dillingham.

How can Navy have a better defense than USC? This is horrible

I don't think anyone can say one way or the other, but I do agree that there are others who would who are better options than kelly.

Would like to see McIntosh in second half. He has played hard every opportunity he's had. And where is Dexter? Doesn't matter much if coaches can't make adjustments.

Why does Kelly take the ball to start the game? He's an idiot

Arnaz Battle and the kid from Chicago who transferred and became a linebacker were not worldbeater passers.
