It took 4 quarters plus 3 overtimes but the Midshipmen finally accomplished something they had not in 43 games prior. The final score was 46 to 44 in a game dominated by each team's running game. The combined yardage on the ground of both teams was 492 yards. Each team's combined yardage in the air was only 207 yards.
To put the streak into perspective, the last time Navy beat Notre Dame was when the Midshipmen were led by now Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach. Navy won that game in 1963 35 to 14 and wouldn't taste victory for 44 more years.
For Notre Dame, it was its school-record fifth straight home loss, another low point in a season of lows. "We lost the game. The streak doesn't mean anything to me," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said.
