The Notre Dame football team takes on Navy in Week 10, and here are three members of the Irish to keep an eye on in the matchup.

In Week 10 of the 2021 college football season, the Notre Dame football team will play host to the Navy Midshipmen in their third straight home game after the bye week. The Irish have dominated the first two games coming out of the bye, beating both USC and UNC in consecutive weeks, and now turn their attention to Navy on Saturday afternoon.

Here, we look at three members of the Irish that will be key for their victory in Week 10.

Logan Diggs

Sure, we all know that Notre Dame football has an elite running back in Kyren Williams, and the likelihood is that he is going to run wild against Navy. But we talk about Williams every week, so this week, I want to focus on freshman Logan Diggs, who is showing that the Irish may have something in him across his true freshman season.

Diggs is a player who has risen up the depth chart this season, and we have seen a lot of him over the last three games. A young player with an incredible skill set, I believe this game is going to get out of hand this weekend, and Diggs could be shouldering the load in the second half, giving us more tape of just how good he could end up being in South Bend.
