Postgame Notebook: Notre Dame covers the spread against Navy

Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesIt was an uncomfortable game for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish until it wasn’t. At the end of the day, the Irish took out the Navy Midshipmen 34-6 in South Bend. The Irish more than doubled up the Middies with yard points, and despite hand-wringing from Notre Dame fans — the game was never, ever in doubt.

This is the type of game in which the Irish have such a talent advantage over Navy, that there is a big opportunity for really a really big game by a skill player. Wide receiver Kevin Austin definitely capitalized on the day with 6 receptions for 139 yards which included a 70 yard touchdown strike right before halftime.
