I really think our defensive strategy plays into the hands of Navy. Rather than being aggressive and imposing our will on Navy we play passive and read our assignments rather than attacking the LOS and creating confusion with their scheme. There's no reason Navy shouldn't have multiple fumbles in games with how risky their offensive strategy is.

I disagree. Defense has to give themselves a break. They had a chance to get off the field early with a 3rd and ridiculously long and squandered it with piss poor effort.

Offense needs to focus on scoring.

He gets so far away from the coverage that even BW can hit him

Navy converted 5 3rd or 4th downs on their drive.

Well, ND only gets one more possession. Navy scores on this drive overtime is the best case scenario

Now Tirico's shoving the 33trucking crap up our as s on national tv. Embarassing.

Of course, not that anyone other than us are watching.
ND is the one who started that crap. And he is right, since that trucking campaign started, we have been heading straight downhill and here we are tied with Navy at the end of the third quarter. Pathetic.

The Defense held Navy to 10 points in the first half with zero help from the offense. ND should have had 14 to 17 points in the first half..

Amazing how teams can get a kickoff return past the 20-yard line and Notre Dame struggles so much.
I've said the same thing for about 22 years now.

D has to give D a break. You actually are allowed to force a 3 and out.

We have run 33 plays with 5 mins left in the 3rd quarter. I think we are up to 13 minutes total TOP.

ND should have on side kicked it. Hell they would burn less clock if they only have to go 50 yards.

Beaten to the edge by Navy...over and over and over again. The team speed at ND sucks

Why do they try to knock guys out instead of wrapping up.

Zero wrapping up on tackles, to much yards after contact being allowed... that is lazy play

Would appear the respect for the seniors was vastly overrated. Because the effort is some of the sorriest sh't I've ever seen

Watch how we are "trying" to tackle. We are hitting with shoulders without wrapping up or even using our arms. That's certainly not how I remember being taught how to tackle. Looks like a pinball game out there. About 4-15 yards after contact each time

Navy is 4-5 on 4th down plays. That is why they have had TOP of 29 to our 12 or so.

Keeping contain on the pitch has nothing to do with speed. It's about execution and not allowing the blocker to pin you inside.

Defense looks really slow this half. Let's see this amazing new S&C program in action. We may only get one more possession. And have to hope they can somehow stop one of Navy's.

We will need a TD to tie the game when we get the ball back but we should also think about on side kicking it
