It hasn't been a good year in South Bend.

Notre Dame fell 28-27 to Navy on Saturday, which represents the Irish's sixth loss on a 3-6 season. The worst part for Notre Dame? They now risk being ineligible for a bowl game for the first time since a 3-9 record in 2007 when Charlie Weis was still the head coach.

Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo now gets his third win over Notre Dame, becoming only the second Navy coach to reach that mark. Notre Dame is 76-13-1 all-time against Navy.
