Notre Dame takes commanding first-half lead over Navy on 64-yard TD run
The 12th-ranked Irish scored on their opening possession, forced a fumble on Navy’s first 2 possessions, and opened up a 14-0 lead on the Midshipmen at the end of the first. Navy quarterback Blake Horvath broke a 47-yard run early in the second to claw his team back to within a possession, but Notre Dame had an immediate response.
