By: Evan J. Thomas

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continued their strong 2025 campaign with a dominating 49-10 victory over the Navy Midshipmen at rainy, snowy, cold Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday night. Behind a balanced offensive attack led by freshman quarterback CJ Carr who was nearly perfect throwing 13 for 16 for 218 yards and 3 touchdowns.  The running game was balanced and tallied 249 yards while Heisman hopeful Jeremiyah Love ran for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns and added another 27 yards on a catch.  Malachai Fields led all wide receivers with 4 catches for 97 yards.  

The game was won with a disciplined defensive effort, the Irish controlled the tempo from start to finish and were sharp against Navy’s triple-option offense—limiting big plays and improving their record and strengthening their postseason outlook.  Navy came into the game leading college football averaging 317 yards on the ground and nearly 35 points per game but the Irish defense came up huge allowing only 206 yards and 10 points in the rout. 

Another classic November victory under the Golden Dome. With momentum building and a key matchup ahead against a ranked Pitt team, Notre Dame looked every bit the part of a team determined to finish the season strong.
