The college football season opened with Notre Dame and Navy facing off in Ireland on Saturday, as the Brian Newberry era officially began for the Midshipmen. While the new Navy coach is trying to modernize the offense besides just the triple option, the Midshipmen pass game seems to need work.
Navy’s first pass of the season came on a fourth-and-3 in Notre Dame territory, but quarterback Tai Lavatai threw the ball in between two receivers. The pass fell incomplete as both Navy players unsuccessfully went for the ball, leading to a turnover on downs.
The 4th Down Navy Pass is broken up by Navy. To be fair they don’t pass much and things like this happen. pic.twitter.com/oTha0xEGk0
