Navy Prediction

While there has been some close games between Notre Dame and Navy in the past few years including a three point win by Notre Dame in 2003, do not expect this game to be close. Navy may be very well coached by Paul Johnson, but Navy does not have the size or speed to compete with Notre Dame. With Notre Dame actually having a coach who knows what he's doing, expect Notre Dame to take full advantage of their great talent advantage and never give Navy a chance to keep this game close. Expect an even mix of run and pass, as Charlie Weis takes advantage of the dominant size advantage Notre Dame enjoys at each position. Darius Walker should have his first 100 yard game since the Washington game. Brady Quinn should have another 250 yards, 3 touchdowns and no picks game. Jeff Samardzija should find the endzone at least once. David Wolke should play the entire fourth quarter.
