Weis to call plays for Notre Dame against Navy

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis will call the plays on offense for the Irish against Navy.

Weis said at his news conference Tuesday he is taking over the play calling for at least one game because offensive coordinator Mike Haywood will miss some practices this week to attend a funeral of a family member in Houston.

Weis would not answer reporters' questions about how long he might continue to call plays. Weis called Notre Dame's offensive plays during his first three seasons as coach before turning the duties over to Haywood this year.

The change comes after the Irish lost 17-0 to Boston College on Saturday, with quarterback Jimmy Clausen throwing four interceptions. Notre Dame is 5-4.
