In spite of ND being an option team behind Tony Rice, and ND’s defense practicing against ND’s first team, it usually took ND’s defense two Navy possessions to settle down.

And, ND’s worse game in 1988 was against Navy, with ND winning 22-7. It was not on tv here in California and I could hear the frustration in Tony Roberts voice all during the game.
