vs. Navy

November 12, 2005: Notre Dame simply was too much for Navy to handle once again. The seventh-ranked Fighting Irish were too big, too fast and too overpowering offensively for the Midshipmen to remain competitive for long Saturday. Notre Dame scored on all three of its second-quarter possessions, including two touchdowns 88 seconds apart, and went on to beat Navy 42-21 to extend its NCAA-record winning streak over the Midshipmen to 42.
