A sellout crowd of 70,168 is expected tomorrow with Gladchuk hopeful that at least half will be Navy fans. A large number of tickets are sold to general college football enthusiasts with no allegiance to either school and Gladchuk thinks those folks will swing to the underdog if an upset is looming.

When Edgar “Rip” Miller started telling stories about the Notre Dame-Navy football series one day in 1958, his mind wandered back 25 years to a particular favorite.</p>

<p>All the details came flooding back, although he might have exaggerated them a little. He seemed to recall Notre Dame rolling up something like 500 yards to Navy’s one…

<p>

“[Navy coach Paul Johnson] is my leading candidate because of his ability to turn losing teams into winning programs. He simply gets more out of his talent than anyone else.” </p>

<p>“Paul Johnson’s offense has never seen the athleticism in every single game like he will see in the ACC. I’m not convinced. … If you want to get fans against the program, bring in Paul Johnson and bore us to death. Not a good idea.”

<p>During Navy resurgence, win over Notre Dame remains elusive; QB gets 1st start vs. No. 11 team</p>

<p>Notre Dame Pulls Away for 43rd Straight Win Over Navy: Notre Dame 38, Navy 14</p>

Against Navy on Saturday, No. 11 Notre Dame took its opening possession and kicked a field goal. The Midshipmen took their first possession and missed a field goal attempt. Then Notre Dame scored a touchdown. So did Navy. Then Notre Dame scored another touchdown. Navy did the same.</p>

<p>But Notre Dame kept scoring, and its defense held the Midshipmen in check in the second half. The result was a 38-14 victory for the Fighting Irish before a sold-out crowd of 71,851 at M&T Bank Stadium…

Making your first career start at quarterback when you’re 20 years old, in an NFL stadium in front of 71,000 fans and a national TV audience, and against the most tradition-drenched college football program in America - well, it should induce some butterflies, right? </p>

<p>Navy’s Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada seemed not to have the slightest clue why he should. </p>

<p>“I felt all right throughout the game,” Kaheaku-Enhada said yesterday after his debut as the starter ended in a 38-14 defeat by 11th-ranked Notre Dame at M&T Bank Stadium. </p>

<p>The evidence supported him. He wasn’t nervous, he said. He was never overwhelmed. Notre Dame did nothing that he wasn’t ready for. The crowd, the spotlight, the atmosphere - it wafted over him like an island breeze…

</p>

<p>Everything considered, Enhada did a great job. Navy’s going to kick butt in the next four games.</p>

<p>Go Navy! Beat Army!</p>

<p>

For one half yesterday, Navy’s offense marched the ball down the field against Notre Dame and may have put any fears that the Midshipmen would struggle with new quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada to rest. </p>

<p>Eventually the Fighting Irish defense stiffened however, and Navy had no answers for Brady Quinn, Darius Walker and a patient but potent Notre Dame offensive assault…

<p>Scoring early and often gives Irish big boost</p>

<p>

Asked after Saturday’s 38-14 victory how well Notre Dame had done defending Navy’s triple-option offense, Irish coach Charlie Weis answered with a question:</p>

<p>“Which half?”</p>

<p>It was a logical question.</p>

<p>“They didn’t do much wrong in the first half,” Weis said. “They didn’t score every time they got it, but they were moving up and down the field on us. They did a lot of good things.”…

<p>Quinn has 3 TD passes; Kaheaku-Enhada keeps Navy close early</p>

<p>

For a while yesterday, Navy did enough to make a nearly impossible mission look manageable. With newly installed sophomore quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada running the offense impressively, the Midshipmen were able to hang with No. 11 Notre Dame during much of the first half…

<p>Man, I’ve seen Navy beat Army. I’ve seen Navy beat Air Force.</p>

<p>Once, just ONCE, I’d like to see Navy beat Notre Dame! :(</p>

<p>Closest we ever came to was being tied at halftime. You would think we had just won the Army-Navy game when that cannon fired the close of the first half!</p>

<p>Sigh… Maybe next year.</p>

[Whistle_Pig]

<p>Maybe Coach J should play Enhada both ways. Quinn made those poor middie dbacks look like me guarding my son in the neighborhood turkey bowl. Not pretty. And not effective. </p>

<p>“Who’s on first?”</p>

<p>“That’s right.”</p>

Navy needs to play a near perfect game in order to finally beat Notre Dame. </p>

<p>The Midshipmen were far from perfect yesterday in the 80th consecutive meeting between the schools…
