The Return of Cierre Wood to the Irish backfield could not have gone much better for Notre Dame. The Redshirt Junior had over 120 yards for 3 touchdowns as the Irish whipped the #9 ranked Spartans 38-6. Starting Saftey Jamoris Slaughter was lost for the season due to a Torn ACL so redshirt freshman Mathias Farley is the "next man in" in the words of Coach Kelly. The Irish Offense continued to show balance gaining 200 through the air and on the ground for the third consecutive Saturday while the defense was stifling as usual. Next week the Irish play the #3 ranked Michigan Wolverines (3-0) in a rivalry game at South Bend.
