Notre Dame 7 Navy 0

Halfway through the first half the game has been dictated by turnovers.

Notre Dame senior cornerback Mike Anello blocked a Navy punt and junior linebacker Toryan Smith ran it in for the easy touchdown.

Thus far, Navy has missed two opportunities Notre Dame sophomore quarterback Jimmy Clausen has given the Middies turning the ball over. He threw one interception on the opening drive after Notre Dame was moving the ball. But, the Midshipmen couldn’t move the ball and had to punt. Next drive Clausen got blindsided and fumbled. Again Navy couldn’t move the ball and had to punt again. Anello blew through the line and Navy punter Jared Smearman never had a chance.

The Midshipmen have to take advantage of Notre Dame turnovers to keep pace with the Irish.
