Big loss for the Irish today with no JD Bertand available. Not the game you want to miss your Mike linebacker.

We'll see who steps up in his absence. I figure Kiser and JR Tuihalamaka will get opportunities

Kickoff in about 10 minutes. See you then

Go Irish!

1 and 10

1 and 10

Quick screen would have hit big, but Navy called a timeout before the snap

PA to Lenzy, post corner for a big play

Pyne had all day on first down, check down to Lenzy

Run blitz gets a TFL on 2nd down and forces 3 and 8

Diggs on the toss to the left and it converts easy. Flag picked up on the play. Close to a facemask

Fake toss PA, Marshall with a big hit on Pyne and they call roughing the passer. I think it was a bad call

ND is going to kick the FG
