| Navy Beats Irish For 1st Time Since '63 It's over. After 44 years and three overtimes. Navy finally beat Notre Dame 46-44 in triple overtime on Saturday, ending the Fighting Irish's NCAA-record winning streak against the Midshipmen at 43 games. "It's a big win for our program. It's a big win for the academy," Navy coach Paul Johnson said. "I'm happy I don't have to answer anything else about the streak every time we play." Roger Staubach was quarterback for the Midshipmen in 1963 when they beat Notre Dame 35-14. Since then, the Irish have had their way - that is until Saturday.

| Re: Navy Beats Irish For 1st Time Since '63 All this talk about what the best game of Saturday would be, and it wound up being this one. Absolutely incredible game, back and forth, some weird stuff happening at the end of regulation where you thought one team or another might take advantage of clock mismanagement, tooth-and-nail for the first two OTs, then in the third Navy comes out throwing a deep out on the first play and scoring. Irish had a chance - got stuffed twice on the two-point conversion (the first was declaired pass interference) and the Middies win. Best game I've seen all year.
