"Under the Lights" Notre Dame at Michigan

[ZM Punk]

First night game in Michigan history, that alone makes it worth its own thread. Notre Dame losing took quite a bit of luster out of the game but it should be a good one none the less. Will be interesting to see if Borges will have any tricks up his sleeve for this one as he didn't show anything against Western Michigan.

It will also be interesting to see who Kelly trots out at QB for this one.

Michigan 35
Notre Dame 28

You know, the Michigan fans I know are expecting a win after last week's round of games. Here's the thing though: what got missed in USF beating Notre Dame is that the Irish actually dominated the game, but couldn't get out of their own way. I don't know if they'll fix that this week, but at this point I expect Notre Dame to win a close one.

I also expect an Irish win-the Irish figured out one week too late that Rees is their better QB. Michigan's defense still looked like it had a lot of problems despite the scoreline-statistically that was an even game. Also, as said the Irish dominated South Florida, just turned it over. I think Irish take it 38-31

Hope Michigan loses by 60

What got missed in the Michigan game: what does ND prepare for? Michigan only ran about 6-10 plays. They even kept a similar look from last season. Didn't use a fullback either. Michigan gave ND nothing to study film on.

Defense, outside of WMU's first drive, the michigan defense held ok.

I see Hoke reviewing the tape and lol'ing at the Irish linebacker assignment discipline.

If the Irish LB's contain D-rob I like our chances. He's the deciding factor in the game.

On a side note I'm really excited for the night game and alt jerseys.

Go Irish!

I'd say that's fair, but for some reason I feel an Irish win here. Maybe it's because everyone is overlooking ND after their loss, and it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong, but I really expect ND to win this one.

I think Notre Dame is going to comeback and have a great game
