The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Michigan Wolverines came into this game with two different narratives for the season. For most, Michigan’s defense/quarterback combo was superior to Notre Dame’s defense/quarterback combo. Therefore...
It couldn’t have gone better for the Irish as they took the first drive 75 yards on 7 plays for the first touchdown of the game. The touchdown came on a 13 yard run by Jafar Armstrong. Armstrong — the first of his career.
After the Irish forced a Michigan punt, Notre Dame turned another 7 play drive into a touchdown.
