www.BLUEANDGOLD.com NOV. 19, 2022 19 Feature Performer: It was Pyne again, who threw 2 touchdown passes and ran in another. Stats: Notre Dame outgained Navy 157 to 99 in total yards. The Irish were 2 of 3 on third down. They possessed the ball for 8:03 and averaged 9.8 yards per play to Navy's 7.6. Items: Pyne's third passing touch- down of the game went to junior run- ning back Chris Tyree on a 5-yard score into the flat … Navy countered once again with a 50-yard fullback dive and a 26-yard quarterback scramble on back-to-back plays to eventually set up a 2-yard QB keeper for a TD … Graduate student kicker Blake Grupe missed wide right from 45 yards away … An inter- ception from junior cornerback Clar- ence Lewis on a trick play set up Pyne's 11-yard scrambling touchdown rush. THIRD QUARTER NOTRE DAME 35, NAVY 16 Top Moment: This should contex- tualize the third quarter from a Notre Dame perspective; the best things that happened for the Irish were 3-yard gains by Estime and Diggs. Nothing more. Feature Performers: Anybody who carried the ball for Navy. The Midship- men's 10-minute drive to open the frame set the tone for the entire second half. Stats: Navy outgained Notre Dame 51 to 3 in total yards. Navy possessed the ball for 12:02 and averaged 2.8 yards per play to the Irish's 0.6. Items: Graduate student safety DJ Brown was hit with a costly holding penalty on a well overthrown ball on fourth-and-1 that prolonged Navy's field goal drive; it would have been a turnover on downs for the Midshipmen at their own 28 with around 13 minutes left if Brown was not flagged … Navy did not have a double-digit gain on the 16-play field goal drive … Notre Dame only had one full possession in the third quarter, and the Irish went three and out.
