SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Free Press columnist Jeff Seidel answers three questions after Notre Dame’s 24-17 victory over Michigan on Saturday night.

How did QB Shea Patterson perform in his Michigan debut?

He wasn’t great. He wasn’t horrible.

He was, to be blunt, human.

Not the savior that some fans were expecting, or maybe, unrealistically hoping for.
Patterson completed 20-for-30 passes for 227 yards.

He was sacked three times, fumbled once and threw an interception.
