Irish Use Big 4th Quarter to Sink Navy
Notre Dame needed the luck of the irish to down Navy in the 2012 season opener. Cierre Wood ran for 2 TDs in the 4th quarter as Notre Dame rolled, 35-16.
It looked like Navy's recent success of Notre Dame would continue. Navy intercepted Everett Golson 3 times, converting 2 of those to scores.
But Irish HB Cierre Wood took over in the fourth quarter, gaining 60 yards, including 2 of Notre Dame's 3 TDs in the final frame to secure the win.
Amazingly, the Irish dropped from #24 to #25 in the coaches poll after the win.
