Irish withstand late rally to beat Navy (AP)

Sports | No Comments »

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, left, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, right, walk off the field after taking part in the coin toss before the start of the Notre Dame and Navy NCAA college football game, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008, in Baltimore.

Nothing comes easy for Notre Dame these days. A year after the Fighting Irish had their record 43-game winning streak against Navy snapped, Notre Dame had to withstand a frenetic rally by the Midshipmen in the final minute and a half to win 27-21. It seemed appropriate, though, that a tense week for college football’s most storied program would end with a tense ending against Navy (6-4).
