During the chaotic final minutes of Notre Dame 's survival sequence against Navy, athletic director Jack Swarbrick stood in the rain, probably wondering whether he had another decision to make.

Ask a Navy football player about what he remembers most about last season's long-awaited win over Notre Dame, a victory that ended a 43-year losing streak to the Fighting Irish, and he will be just as likely to describe a feeling he had, as opposed to a specific moment in the game.

Junior Ram Vela, for instance, made one of the most memorable plays in the 46-44, triple-overtime epic: On a critical fourth-down play in the fourth quarter, the linebacker, generously listed at 5 feet 9, came charging in off the edge, soared over halfback Armando Allen and forced quarterback Evan Sharpley to step into an onrushing Chris Kuhar-Pitters.

Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada was bundled up for practice on a chilly, windy Wednesday afternoon. The senior quarterback from Hawaii wore a dark balaclava under his gold Navy helmet, a long-sleeved shirt under his practice jersey and baggy blue sweatpants over his pads.

But at least he was able to move around the field. Jarod Bryant, another senior quarterback, was forced to stand and watch in the cold, as he rested a sprained right shoulder.

"Oh man, practice is about 10 times longer when you're not out there," Bryant said with a sigh. "Senior year is kind of the worst time to get hurt."
