Notre Dame issued alarming notice by Nick Saban before Navy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Nick Saban had a suggestion for Notre Dame before playing Navy.

Notre Dame received a nice surprise from the College Football Playoff selection committee on Tuesday night.

The CFP gave the Fighting Irish a No. 10 ranking despite having a 6-2 record. The Irish started their regular season with losses to Miami and Texas A&M by a combined four points.

The one-point loss to the No. 3 Aggies doesn’t look bad now, but Miami has lost two of its last three games and is trending downward. The Hurricanes received a No. 18 ranking despite having the same record as Notre Dame.

The Irish have won six in a row, including an impressive 34-24 win over then-No. 20 USC on Oct. 18. With a favorable schedule to end the season, Notre Dame should win out against Navy, No. 24 Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Stanford to make the CFP.

However, former Alabama head coach Nick Saban gave the Irish caution before playing the Midshipmen on Saturday. During ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday, Saban suggested that Navy could take advantage of Notre Dame’s defense if it didn’t play focused.

I would just say to Notre Dame, watch out,” Saban said via a transcription by On3. “We played Georgia Southern, I think it was 2011 or 2012, we (Alabama) had the number one team, great defensive team, in the country. Given up just over 300 yards for 10 games. Played these guys in the 11th game of the year.

“They rushed for over 300 yards in that game. They were cutting our guys. We had all NFL draft pick guys. They’re tapping out. They didn’t want to play against that offense, man.”

Navy’s option offense is a threat

Saban thinks the Irish could get “gassed” by Navy’s option offense.

“But I’m telling you, it can be if you don’t have a great scheme and your players don’t understand it, and you don’t spend a significant enough time preparing for it, you can get gassed by an option offense,” Saban said. “And you know, this Blake Horvath guy’s pretty (expletive) good at it.”

The Irish have seen Navy’s offense before.

Navy last beat Notre Dame 28-27 in 2016. The Irish have beaten the Midshipmen seven games in a row, including a 51-14 blowout in 2024.

Notre Dame has a lot to play for, but Navy has CFP hopes too.

Following Memphis’ loss to Tulane on Friday night, the Midshipmen are atop the American Conference and are fighting for an automatic bid by being the top-ranked Group of 5 champion.
