Watch Notre Dame retake the lead before halftime at Navy

Nairavoice · Oct 31, 2026 · 3 min read

No. 6 Notre Dame leads at the half against huge underdog Navy — and the reason why the Fighting Irish are up by one point at halftime is because of a Nolan James Jr. touchdown run.

The Irish have been struggling with Navy so far, but they are still up because they’ve scored two touchdowns despite having the ball just three times.
