No. 20 Notre Dame vs Navy: TV, Time, Preview & Predictions

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

No. 20 Notre Dame plays Navy at 2:30 pm ET. The game is a rematch of a previous meeting between the two teams. A.J. Black of the Eagle Insider predicts a Phil Jurkovec-George Takacs play.

Boston College beat North Carolina State to gain some momentum after a disappointing season. The team had not beaten a Top-25 team since 2014. Head coach Jeff Hafley was able to showcase the future with quarterback Emmett Morehead and freshman receiver Joseph Griffin II.

Emmett Morehead has replaced Phil Jurkovec at Boston College's starting quarterback position. He has played well in the last two weeks. Jurcovet has been injured and in concussion protocol. More head has impressed him more than Jurckove. He is a 6-foot-6 quarterback with a strong arm and good speed. His draft stock cratered and he might transfer after this season. The team has found some momentum with More Head. It's a tough decision for Jeff Hafley. They play at Notre Dame on Saturday. For Jurksovek, his career is over.

George Takacs is a tight end for the Irish. He has a high-ankle sprain that has limited him this season. Takac's effectiveness has been limited especially in blocking because of the injury.

No. 20 Notre Dame plays Boston College. The Eagles' pass defense is passable, but they should not need to pass too much against the Irish. Boston college's defensive coordinator Tem Lukabu will try to confuse opposing quarterbacks with simulated pressure and cycling through a variety of coverages.

Notre Dame is favored by 21 against Boston College. The flu has affected the Eagles this week. Last season against Wake Forest, the flu hit and Boston college was decimated 41-10. If the game goes to a close one, I think it will be 28-14.
