Notre Dame looks to make a statement against Navy in Foxborough, focusing on five critical strategies to secure dominance. Will the Irish finally get their explosive playmakers like Nolan James Jr. and Jonas Walton more involved? There’s a growing call for CJ Carr to expand his game—both with his arm and legs—while Faison, Greathouse, and Gilbert remain key deep threats for potential big plays.
On the defensive side, the Irish face the unique challenge of Navy’s option attack, led by the athletic Jackson Gutierrez. Success hinges on keeping edge rushers wide, sending creative blitzes with Christian Gray and Adon Shuler, and containing triple option threats like Michael Burrow. Can Notre Dame’s defense pressure and contain Navy enough to showcase their championship aspirations ahead of the Miami matchup?
