Some ugly weather on-deck for the Irish vs Navy today. Could mean some balls on the ground for Navy's offense.

Kickoff in about 15 minutes. See you then.

Couldn't see anything definitive on if Navy QB Malcolm Perry was playing or not, but saw the line moved 3 points so guessing he won't be available

ND receives. Short kick and Sanders takes it close to the 30

Throw high to Claypool incomplete on 1st down, screen to Claypool goes for 4 on 2nd down

I'm sure everyone will be thrilled with 3 and out with 3 straight passes for the Irish.

Wimbush scrambles and doesn't get it. Bad punt by Newsome and Navy gets good field position at their own 37

Garret Lewis in at QB for Navy

Not much on 1st down with Trumbetti tackling Lewis for 2. Another two with Lewis keeping. Nice job up front for the Irish on 1st two plays

Love in at safety. Pride and Crawford in at CB.

Toss gets 3 and it's 4th. They are going and Jay Hayes jumps off side to move the chains. Brutal

Dive gets too much on 1st. Crawford with a nice job knifing in vs the toss, got enough to prevent the 1st

3 and short coming up after a timeout

Look for QB keep with Abey in the game. He slipped and was short of the sticks.

They will go for it. He keeps again. First down. He is their short yardage guy they go to.

Lewis back in and they go PA. Caught ND a bit with Martini, but nice finish at the catch point to cause an incompletion

Martini with a big stick. 3rd and long coming up

4th and 5 after Crawford makes the tackle on the toss

Going for it again

Tried to catch ND with the dive and they stop it. Martini again. Already making a big impact

Turnover on downs

How about a run to start this drive?

Long obliges with an inside run for 3. Another run by Adams sets up 3 and short. Convert easy going tempo

Another high throw by Wimbush and EQ gets submarined and comes down hard. Incomplete and trainers rushed out to the field

EQ appears to be ok. Walked off the field, but heading to the athletic tent. He fell hard on his head.

QB sweep goes big for WImbush. Great block by Adams taking out the safety

Adams called off after he got up gingerly on a run. Jones came in great job getting skinny through the hole. Nice job up front by the Irish O-line.

Wimbush loses his grip and misses an easy throw to Alize. Then goes too high to KJ on 3rd and 9

Irish forced to settle for FG attempt

29 yarder is good

3-0 Irish

Navy ball at their 29

Abey in at QB. Sweep gets 6

9 yards on a dive isn't going to cut it for ND.

Pride made a tackle, on a QB sweep. Nice job by him, but he goes off with an injury. Not sure what happened there

Tranquill great job beating the block to make the tackle on the option. Gain on 1

2 and 9

Awesome pursuit on the pitch sets up 3 and long

Abey gets 7 and the 1st. ND had two guys take the pitch and it was a QB run

7 on the pitch with Navy approaching the ND 30. 1st quarter ends with Navy in a good spot. They held the ball for most of that quarter

3-0 ND

2 and 3

Elliott had the pitch, but missed the tackle

Great job by Julian Love on the pitch there. Slipped the block. Gain of 1

Dive gets 3 to set up 3rd and 6

MTA with the TFL. Chased it down from the backside

4th and 6

Navy calls a timeout. Deciding whether or not they will go for it or kick the FG I would assume

They are kicking it. It's good

3-3

Short kicked bobbled by Tony Jones. Nothing on the return

Not much for Adams on two runs. 3 and 5, would like to see a QB run here

And Wimbush runs it for the 1st

Wimbush avoids the blitz and gains big yards, but called back with a chop block. Dicey call

1st and 25

Another high ball, but Boykin goes up and gets it for 21

Adams gets 7 up the middle. Right side of the line crushed em

3 and medium after not much on two inside runs to Adams

Sam backer did a great job blowing up the counter trey. ND forced to punt

Ball fair caught inside the Navy 10

Abey has settled in at QB for Navy

Two dives get 8 yards. 3 and 2. Look for Abey to keep

Huge play by Tranquill to get the TFL on Abey. Navy will punt

Great call by Elko to pinch everybody there

And Finke loses the ball and gives it to Navy. Should have fair caught it, but he has never made a decision to do so all year. Horrible decision

Navy tried to go PA, but well covered. 2 yard scramble

Martini with a big stick on the dive

3 and 6, but it's going to take 4 to get them off the field

Hinish nice job coming from the backside to run down the play. Bonner got penetration there too

4 and 4

Navy ran a reverse and ND had it stopped, but Kareem missed the tackle

Timeout with 2nd and 6 coming up with Navy in FG range

Sorry, meant 3 and 4.

Abey keeps and gets the 1st

1 and 10

Navy milking the clock.

Toss and Navy breaks a couple of tackles to set up 2 and 3

1st and goal after a dive to convert. Inside of 2 minutes

Abey in for the touchdown after two runs

10-3 Navy with 1:08 to go in the half

KJ on the 1st down gets ND already in Navy territory. Crosser big after the catch.

Wimbush scrambles and they call a timeout with 48 seconds on the clock. 1 timeout remaining

Claypool on the corner route gets ND 1st and goal, but WImbush sacked on next play

31 seconds left

Wimbush badly under threw the pass. Almost picked

3 and goal. Ball sailed, but flag on the play. PI on Navy. DB grabbed Stepherson. Blatant

Slant for a touchdown...dropped by KJ. Gotta hang on to that. Hit him right in the chest

2 and goal with 14 left

Called run with Wimbush. Risky call with the clock, but Wimbush runs through the tackle for the touchdown

10-10 after the extra point

End of the half. Story is obviously Navy holding the ball for the whole half. Defense played pretty good, but have to get off the field.

Offense was flat out bad other than last drive.

Need to run to the perimeter more. Should see more of Tony Jones Jr and Dexter in this half with Adams looking banged up again.

If Finke fair catches the ball, it's a different ball game. Now ND is in a dogfight with Navy getting the ball to open the second half

Navy returns opening 2nd half kick for to about the 28

Weather is pretty ugly right now. Hasn't affected the ball handling for Navy so far

Abey gets 13 to start, Tranquill out of the game right now. Hurt on the kickoff.

First bad pitch for Navy. Slipped out of Abey's hand. 2 and 16 coming up

Play-action and Pride broke it up. Navy not built for that down and distance

3 and 16

Tranquill back in the game

Elliott whiffs on the tackle and the dive converts. That is just...horrible. He has not tackled well enough all year

3 and 1 and a huge TFL for ND. Navy will go for it. Tranquill outstanding job forcing the ball to bounce

Abey converts. Second effort got it. Martini couldn't knock him back

PA and Abey gets crushed by Kareem. Incomplete

3 and long after not much on the dive

Morgan finishes off the pitch after the back spins off the tackle by Love. 4th down and Navy calls a timeout

4th and 6 at the ND 31.

The throw and diving catch by the fullback. Martini beat on the wheel

1 and goal

Pride steps up and makes the tackle

2 and goal from the 10

Troy Pride with another big tackle on the toss

3 and goal Navy player is down

Huge play coming up. Have to hold them to a FG try

Wide open on the pass. Touchdown. Elliott with a nightmare drive. Beat bad on the post

17-10 took off 8 minutes off the clock

ND needs to score on this drive. Not 3. 6. Need it

Perimeter to Adams for 6. Inside to Adams for 5

Another pin and pull with tempo. Gets 7

Adams big run with the hole opening up. He is definitely hurt because he is running away from the safety if he is healthy

PA next play and touchdown to KJ!

5 plays 78 yard 88 seconds

17-17 after the extra point

Devin Studstill in at safety on this drive

Coney no wrap on the tackle, Abey spins off for a good gain

ND a bit late on the pitch on the edge twice on this series

Navy LT down on the field

1 and 10 at midfield. Navy beating them on the perimeter right now. Pitch early and getting them out-leveraged

Navy now in FG territory. Have ND defense off balance right now

3rd and 5 coming up, but 4 down territory.

Now that was a better job by Elliott on the toss. Him and Crawford force 4th down and Navy will kick the FG

No good!

Big stop for the Irish D

20 seconds left in the quarter, ND takes over

Adams gets 4 up the middle to end the quarter. Need another touchdown drive here

Play-action to start the quarter. 23 to KJ on the corner

A wobbler to Boykin, but another 1st down on the curl

Bars missed his block on the safety, but Adams still gets 5

OMG I think Nelson just took that linebacker's heart. Pancaked him on the counter trey

3 and long coming up after a drop by KJ and great play by the Sam backer.

Nice call by Chip Long with the motion to set up screen to KJ for a 1st down on 3 and 10. First time they have shown that this year. Great time to bring that out

Navy player down. Timeout on the field

1 and 10 on the Navy 11

QB sweep gets 2

Wimbush just leads Boykin a hair too much. Was a great call on the boot. Should have been a touchdown

3 and 8

Wimbush hits KJ on the crosser for the touchdown!

Adams and Boykin basically setting picks for him.

24-17 after the extra point by Yoon

Ball goes through the end zone

Navy takes over at the 25 with 11:49 to go

3 and 1 after the dive is stopped short

Navy converts on the dive on the next play

Kareem was down for a moment, but looks like he is fine

Two Navy players down after the next play. They go helmet to helmet accidentally.

Navy driving again when Abey converts on 2nd and short. Ball at midfield

Martini stuffs the dive to set up 3 and 1. Tillery involved as well. Another dive and another 1st. Just get it

Pride with the INT! Navy tries to catch ND and Abey throws one up for grabs. Pride was already having a great game and then makes it even better. ND takes over inside their 20

Now ND needs to finish. 7:18 to go

Jones Jr gets 3 on the lead zone

Adams get 5, sets up 3 and a long 2

Alize drops the ball. He has to make that catch. Story of his season. Not an easy one, but has to catch that

Below average punt by Newsome sets Navy up around their 30.

2 on the pitch. Martini runs it out of bounds

Bonner and Morgan with a big stuff on Abey. 3 and long coming up

3 and 7 complete

Love gets called for a horse collar on the next play. It was the correct call. Took away at TFL

Another 1st down puts Navy just outside of the red zone

Two men in motion gets called for illegal shift

1 and 15 on the 26

2nd and 9 after the Abey keep

3 and 5 after the dive. 1:42 left on the clock

Abey kept and it was a mistake. Needed to pitch. Love with great job filling the alley.

4th and 5

Navy went trickeration with the slotback pass...let the ball go too late and the ball is incomplete!

ND will win and take knees to end the ball game.

24-17 Irish. Not pretty, but only because it was Navy. Navy played the game they wanted to and ND still beat them.

Elko's defense did a good job. Long's offense got it rolling when it mattered.

ND goes to 9-2. Instant reaction coming up
