Summary

Drew Mentock and John Brice react to Notre Dame's dominant win over the Navy Midshipmen. The win is the Irish's 7th straight, which should see them rise in the CFP Poll. The guys react to Notre Dame's disciplined, penalty and turnover-free win, the first time Notre Dame has done so since 1997. They also broke down Notre Dame's stout defense, which held Navy to 10 points, including blanking them in the second half and holding them to 3 points in the game's final 41 minutes. The Irish were also 5-of-7 on key downs, while the Midshipmen were just 2-of-8. Both Jaiden Ausberry and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa had strong play that was crucial to keeping Navy's run game in check, which struggled to create through the air without star QB Blake Horvath. JB and Drew also talked about Notre Dame's efficient offensive performance. CJ Carr finished 13-of-16 for 218 yards, 3 passing TDs and a 257.6 passer rating, the first time a Notre Dame freshman QB has done so since at least 1995. Jeremiyah Love also had a Heisman-worthy highlight while scoring a TD and rushing for 94 yards. Plus, a little CFP conversation to wrap things up.

0:31.6	They started with a cold, windy, miserable rain.
0:35.4	It continues to pelt snow here as the Notre Dame Stadium turf has turned

0:46.0	their seventh consecutive game. Yes, definitely. I mean, I think after last weekend, we felt like
0:52.9	there really weren't any excuses for how poorly
0:55.6	they played at Boston College, given all those factors you just mentioned and the different
0:59.9	things that Navy often does to confuse Notre Dame, almost a near perfect of performance

1:16.6	It's also the last time they had both that and didn't turn the ball over, which they didn't do
1:21.5	tonight.
1:22.8	Offense went over 500 yards.
1:24.5	They held Navy to, I think, 228 yards of offense to, so the defense outside of giving

1:34.9	clamped down and made some of those adjustments you want to see out of Chris Ash.
