"… Having Dex, Jafar, everybody in the running back room, it's a key for our offense." Moving forward, Williams and Armstrong provide the Irish with a one-two punch that can be used in multiple ways to create mismatches. "Dexter is clearly becoming that top back," head coach Brian Kelly said. "And he's becoming a complete back. He has not been that for us. He got the game ball because of his blocking tonight. He was outstanding. Jafar is coming back after a month off. He's not there yet as the runner that we want him to be. But, boy, can he catch the football. They're identifying them- selves as to who they are right now, and I think we're going to get more out of Jafar as we continue to play." FROM DRUE TO DREW Early in the first half, Notre Dame faithful held their collective breath when fifth-year senior linebacker and captain Drue Tranquill exited the game with an injury. Tranquill did not return, and it was later announced he had a sprained ankle. Sophomore Drew White took Tranquill's place and made six stops. NAVY INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att.
