Will This Be The End?

The Notre Dame football team has a 43 game winning streak over Navy. Will it finally come to an end this coming Saturday when Navy comes to South Bend? That's what is on every body's mind who has to do with the two programs. Without a doubt this is the one year that ND is the most vulnerable in. If Navy is ever to play a good game in the next ten years this is it. The Irish have gotten so bad the news networks seem to have stopped talking about them. That's hard to do.

It's been 44 years since their last loss against Navy, think Ara. I think it will be a little bit tougher to crack the streak then what people think. Though the defense might not show it through statistics I do believe that their rush defense is probably the best of all categories. Though they give up more rushing then passing yards realize this: they get blown out of every game real quick. What does this mean? It means that after the first quarter and a half, the other team just runs the ball in an effort to coast to another easy victory after savagely beating the secondary. However, the Navy offense isn't really a pass heavy team, or even a light passing team. They are run, run, run. That's why I think the Irish will continue the streak and with the team getting older next year, the streak will go on for awhile. A low scoring affair will bring the final score to: 16-7 Irish.
