Notre Dame football vs Navy: 4 reasonable expectations for the Irish in Week 10

Kyren Williams rushes for over 125 yards

The Irish have gotten steady play from running back Kyren Williams across the last two games, as he has had his best two games of the season. Williams is fresh off a 199-yard effort on the ground against UNC, and against this Navy defense, you can be sure he is going to once again eclipse the 125-yard mark.

Williams had yet to rush for 100 yards going into the USC game but has put two back-to-back efforts together since the team came out of the bye week. He will keep the good times rolling against Navy, rushing for over 125 yards as a minimum.
