The new sophomore QB, we will call him K-E for short is from Hawaii and very familiar with the Navy system. He ran the exact same offense in high school since his coach was Michael Carter, a former Rainbow QB when Paul Johnson was offensive coordinator. Jarod Bryant, another sophomore, may also play, but I think he will only play is K-E struggles.
This guy has talent and obviously is comfortable witht the system. The real question is how he will perform in front of 70,000 people on national tv.
This game has some weird karma around it. Navy has a history of first time QBs performing well against ND and K-E's old high school coach was the QB at Hawaii when they nearly beat Notre Dame in 1991.
I love Paul Johnson, I think he is one of the best coaches in the country. He will have this team ready and have a few trick plays up his sleeve. I have a feeling that the new QB is going to play well. The real key is how the offensive line blocks.
Navy has a history of showing up strong in this game and I feel they do the same this week.
Prediction: Notre Dame 38
Navy 30
