Navy secures Texas Bowl berth with upset of No. 22 Notre Dame

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Navy did it to Notre Dame again -- and this loss to the Midshipmen is even more costly.

Craig Schaefer sacked Jimmy Clausen in the end zone with 60 seconds left Saturday and Navy held on for a 23-21 victory, its second straight at Notre Dame Stadium.

No. 19 Notre Dame (6-3) scored with 24 seconds left on a 31-yard pass from Jimmy Clausen to Golden Tate to cut the lead to two, but the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds.

The win sends Navy into the Texas Bowl and effectively ends any hope Notre Dame (6-3) had for a Bowl Championship Series berth.

Navy has won two out of three. I think that should be enough for the ND coach to get fired. Navy almost beat OSU and last week lost to Temple. Go figure. Nice to see Navy and ND at the end of the game singing the Navy song. There is still some sportsmanship left in college sports...but not all./

I love it when members of our military beat up secular humanists or Mohammedans!
