No. 25 Notre Dame-Navy: Freshly ranked Irish release depth chart ahead of annual battle
No. 25 Notre Dame is back in the polls after dominating No. 12 Clemson on Saturday night to improve to 6-3 in 2022. It’s been a roller coaster first season for Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame but the peak hasn’t felt this high in quite some time for Fighting Irish fans.
Notre Dame will now ship up and head to Baltimore this Saturday where they’ll take on annual rival Navy. It will be a rare 12:00 p.m. EST kickoff for the Irish who don’t often play the first thing on Saturday. It will however be their second-noon kickoff in the last three games.
The Irish enter 6-3 after a win that felt like it erased a lot of the early season struggles of 2022. The Navy will enter 3-6 after falling at Cincinnati their last time out.
Here is how Notre Dame will line up against Navy according to their freshly released depth chart.
