Win the turnover battle and win the game, it's usually that simple. Win the turnover 6-0 and the scoreboard will lean heavily in your favor. That was the case Saturday as Notre Dame's physical and fast defense made life tough on Navy quarterback Blake Horvath and company all afternoon.Navy's offense has some new twists and turns from the one that gave Notre Dame a good number of problems from 2007-2016.
Just how quick of work did Notre Dame make of Navy? The Irish took the lead just 4:32 into the game and stretched it to a two-score lead with 5:44 remaining in the first quarter. Navy got back within one touchdown early in the second quarter but a quick Jeremiyah Love response on a 64-yard touchdown run put Notre Dame back ahead by 14 with 12:28 to play before halftime. Notre Dame wouldn't lead by fewer than 14 points the rest of the way.
