Notre Dame-Navy Pregame Show: Five Things To Watch & Final Thoughts Before Kickoff
Tyler Wojciak gets Notre Dame fans ready for Halloween gameday as the No. 5 Fighting Irish take on the Navy Midshipmen at Gillette Stadium. After two weeks of frustration following the loss to BYU, Marcus Freeman's team finally has an opportunity to get back on the field, regain its confidence, and build momentum before next week's massive showdown with Miami. In this special Notre Dame vs. Navy pregame episode of Locked On Irish, Tyler breaks down his five biggest things to watch, starting with the team's intensity and effort, CJ Carr's opportunity to get the passing attack rolling, and how Notre Dame's defense will handle Navy's triple-option offense. Then, he examines Jonaz Walton's role in the running back rotation and the importance of keeping the Irish healthy ahead of Miami. Finally, Tyler reflects on the similarities between this Notre Dame team and the 2024 national championship runner-up, and explains why there's still plenty of reason to believe in the Fighting Irish.
