What happened

ESPN RECAP

Everett Golson's six TDs guide No. 10 Notre Dame past Navy

LANDOVER, Md. -- On a night in which Notre Dame blew a 21-point lead and its youthful defense surrendered 454 yards, coach Brian Kelly still found reason to smile. Mostly because the sixth-ranked Fighting Irish somehow found a way to beat Navy 49-39. "As a coach that's really all you can ask for, to win a football game and give a lot of young guys experience," Kelly said Saturday night. "And then, not have to play Navy against until next year." Everett Golson became the first player in Notre Dame history to throw for three touchdowns and run for three scores. The Irish (7-1, No. 10 CFP, No. 6 AP) needed that kind of performance to win, because their defense had no answer for Navy's triple option. "It ended up being a game where we outscored them," Kelly said.
