There is only one thing for Navy to do in the wake of Saturday’s lopsided loss to Notre Dame. Flush that disappointing performance down the toilet and start preparing for Southern Methodist University.
Navy could not capitalize on a tremendous opportunity on a sunny afternoon in South Bend. Defeating Notre Dame would have validated Navy’s newly acquired national ranking and propelled the program into a stronger position within the College Football Playoff poll.
Instead, the Midshipmen absorbed a beatdown so severe it will most likely knock them out of the rankings altogether. Navy already dropped out of the Associated Press Top 25 and will likely fall from the College Football Rankings as well.
It doesn’t really matter. Navy (7-2, 5-1) can gain all the national respect it wants by beating SMU (9-1, 5-1) on Saturday in Annapolis. The Mustangs have been one of the top teams in the American Athletic Conference all season and this is a chance for the Midshipmen to make a strong statement.
