SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The talk in the offseason was centered around all the changes.
A new (and better) quarterback. An improved offensive line. The same, stout defense that ranked third nationally and helped keep Michigan in games.
But all of that seemingly rang hollow on Saturday, as Michigan turned up flat on both sides of the football in a 24-17e loss to Notre Dame.
The Wolverines' defense surrendered 233 yards of total offense in the first half, digging themselves a three-possession deficit early, while the offense struggled to convert drives into points all night long.
