Michigan and Notre Dame renewed one of the most historic rivalries in college football for the last-scheduled time for the next 14 years on Saturday night, and while it was ugly times, boy, was it fun to be a Wolverine fan if you were one of the 110,000 at a rainy Big House.
Michigan obliterated the eighth-ranked fighting Irish by a score of 45-7 to move to 6-2 on the season and respond to last week’s tough loss at Penn State in the only ideal way they could: with a decisive victory in a rivalry game.
Things started out slow for both teams with the Wolverines heading into the second quarter up 3-0 after a 21-yard field goal from Jake Moody.
