Navy did it to Notre Dame again — and this loss to the Midshipmen is even more costly. Craig Schaefer sacked Jimmy Clausen in the end zone with 60 seconds left Saturday to give Navy a nine-point lead and it held on for a 23-21 victory, its second in a row at Notre Dame. No. 19 Notre Dame scored with 24 seconds left on a 31-yard pass from Jimmy Clausen to Golden Tate and the PAT cut the lead to two, but the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds. The last time an unranked Navy team beat a ranked Notre Dame team was in 1936.

"It's a heartbreaking loss," Clausen said.

Navy gained a spot in the Texas Bowl but its victory celebration was more subdued than two years ago, when the Midshipmen ended a 43-game losing streak to the Irish by winning 46-44 in three overtimes.

"We'd done it before and we went into this game not really placing as much emphasis or too much importance on it," said Navy linebacker Ram Vela, who had an interception and fumble recovery.

Ricky Dobbs threw a TD pass and ran for a TD and Vince Murray had a 25-yard TD run for the Midshipmen.

Two years ago when Navy beat Notre Dame, the Irish were in a 3-9 season. But this loss effectively ends any hope Notre Dame had for its first BCS berth since 2006.

No. 1 Florida 27, Vanderbilt 3 — Tim Tebow ran for a TD and threw for another as the Gators won at home in a lackluster outing. Florida extended its winning streak to 19 games but struggled on offense again.

Oregon State 31, No. 23 California 14 — Sean Canfield threw for 342 yards and two TDs and ran for a score to lift the visiting Beavers over California, which lost tailback Jahvid Best to a concussion.

Nesbitt powered for 2 yards and scored on the next play.
