ESPN's Mark Schlabach weighs in on Navy's historical win over Notre Dame:

But Notre Dame's struggles don't diminish Navy's accomplishment. No matter how poorly the Irish are playing in coach Charlie Weis' third season, Notre Dame should always be favored against the Midshipmen.
Despite its recent struggles, Notre Dame still has the pick of the litter more times than not in recruiting. Conversely, the Midshipmen must find players who are academically fit to attend the U.S. Naval Academy and who also are willing to make a military commitment at a time when the country is at war.
"I don't think people fully realize the obstacles you face at the academies," Johnson said.
The Fighting Irish are supposed to be bigger, faster and stronger than the Midshipmen. Each of Notre Dame's five starting offensive linemen weighs more than 300 pounds. Navy doesn't have a 300-pounder starting on offense or defense. In fact, Irish offensive tackle Sam Young, a 6-foot-8, 310-pound sophomore, often blocked end Michael Walsh, a 239-pound junior.
"Notre Dame has struggled to win games, but they still have great athletes, and everybody still wants to go to Notre Dame if they have the opportunity," Navy quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada said. "You have to respect them. They still have that great tradition and history."
By the time the Midshipmen returned to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., late Saturday night, they were greeted by most of the brigade for a celebration at Tecumseh Court. Capt. Margaret D. Klein, the academy commandant, canceled Monday's classes to honor the win.
"It was crazy," Kaheaku-Enhada said. "I got off the bus and was mobbed."
Johnson said beating Notre Dame is one of his program's biggest achievements, regardless of how the Fighting Irish finish the season. The Irish finished 2-7 in 1963, the last time Navy beat them.
"What was Notre Dame's record in 1963?" Johnson asked. "It wasn't very good, but nobody ever prefaces the articles with that record, do they? Any time Navy beats Notre Dame, it's a big deal. Anybody who watched the game could tell it's a big deal. Anybody that doesn't think Notre Dame has good players, they can come watch the film with me. They've got some really good players. I'll bet a lot of their players end up playing in the NFL."
