Navy is one of the last teams that I would expect to serve as a good measuring stick or barometer for our seasons. But as I look back at recent history, our success against Navy has been a near perfect mirror of our overall success each season. In all of our 1-2 loss seasons since 2012 we have blown out the Midshipmen. In all of our 3-5 loss seasons since 2012, we have beaten them by 3-10 points. In our historically bad 2016 season, we lost to them.
Never read too much into one single game, I know. But we have pretty good evidence from recent seasons that Saturday's result was a quality indicator of our team's success this season. Go Irish!
