Making their mark
Over the last four games, Irish junior tight end Ben Koyack has accounted for three touchdowns after not scoring through the first 29 games of his career.
Through the first eight games of the season, Irish freshman running back TareanFolston gained 116 yards on the ground and did not score a touchdown. On Saturday, Folston scored his first career touchdown and ran for 140 yards. He is the first freshman to rush for 100 yards since Robert Hughes against Stanford in 2007.
Punt free
On Saturday, the Irish did not punt once. It was the fifth time in its last nine meetings that Notre Dame did not punt against Navy. In their last 616 offensive plays against the Midshipmen, the Irish have only punted seven times.
