Rivalry Renewed
Notre Dame started the game off by handing Michigan a three-and-out, and then going to the air to score the game's first points. Michigan looked stunned, but was able to fight back, holding Notre Dame and finally being able to move the ball.
After halftime it still looked to be anyone's ballgame. But in the fourth quarter when Notre Dame scored and looked to be making it a tie game, Michigan blocked the extra point. Then on ND's next drive, they threw a costly interception to "Mr Pick Six" De'Angelo Rawls, who took it back to the house for a touchdown.
Michigan's running back Frank Alley only recorded about 60 rushing yards, but was able to put the ball in the endzone on four separate occasions.
Michigan and Notre Dame will look forward to locking horns once again next year, with the game taking place at Notre Dame Stadium.
Next week Michigan opens up Big Ten play against the Purdue Boilermakers in West Lafayette.
