It's hard to imagine Notre Dame needing to gain revenge on Navy. It's equally difficult to comprehend the Fighting Irish as mere 3 1/2-point favorites going into their annual meeting with the Midshipmen.
That, however, is the new reality since Navy last year ended the longest losing streak in NCAA college football history. In their last meeting, the Midshipmen snapped a 43-game losing streak to the Fighting Irish with a thrilling 46-43 victory in triple-overtime at Notre Dame.
Navy has not defeated Notre Dame two years in a row since 1960-61 when Wayne Hardin was head coach.
The two teams meet Saturday at noon at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
