The Navy Midshipmen continued their fine season with a 35-18 victory over the Delaware Blue Hens.
The Midshipmen got off to a slow start, trailing Delaware 9-7 at halftime.
However, they responded with 21 fourth quarter points to turned what was a close game into a relatively easy victory.
Navy, despite a disappointing loss to Temple, has really had a fantastic year highlight by the win in South Bend.
The Midshipmen have a couple of games left before the big showdown against the rival Army Cadets.

The Navy Midshipmen went into South Bend and came out a winner for the second time in three years.
After a furious rally fell just short in Baltimore last year, the Midshipmen finished the job this year with a 23-21 upset of Notre Dame.
The game was not nearly as close as the score indicated, as Navy held a two touchdown lead for much of the fourth quarter. The Irish did have the ball late in the game trailing by seven, but Navy sacked Jimmy Clausen for a safety to end any threat of a comeback.
It’s another signature win for the Midshipmen, who have to be kicking themselves over their loss to Temple last week.
