With BCS implications and a 41-game winning streak against Navy on the line, the Irish defeated the Midshipmen

42-21 thanks to three second-quarter touchdowns. Notre Dame returned to a run-first offense after quarterback

Brady Quinn carried the load against BYU and Tennessee, as the Irish rushed the ball 39 times for 221 yards. Darius

Walker led the Irish with 19 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown. Travis Thomas had 11 carries for 56 yards and

a score. By solidifying the run game, Quinn was able to explode for four touchdown passes — three of which went to

Maurice Stovall — and pushed his season total to 27. With the four touchdowns, the Irish quarterback passed Ron

Powlus for first place on the career-touchdown passes list at Notre Dame. Stovall finished with eight catches for 130

yards. Navy ran its option offense against Notre Dame, racking up lengthy drives and keeping the time of possession

in its favor. The Midshipmen ran 68 total plays, 58 of which were runs. At the end of the game, Notre Dame honored

the Naval Academy by walking to their section in the stands and listening to the Navy alma mater.

Tonight he put his shots on the net, and you saw what happened.” Amado opened the scoring with a breakaway goal just 20 seconds into the game. The puck came loose soon after the opening faceoff, and Amado found himself racing down the ice with teammate Tim u m m Wallace.

Amado said he was excited to find himself on a breakaway. “I haven’t had too many clear shots this year, so it was good to get one off and put it in the back of the net,” he said. Jackson said the goal was important to get the game off to a positive start for the Irish. “We scored on the first shift, and that certainly doesn’t hurt our chances to win,” he said. “Scoring the first goal is one of our team goals because the team that does that wins about 80 percent of the time.” The Shirt The Irish struck again with a 2006 power play goal by Josh Sciba at the 15:07 mark of the peri­ od.
