This week’s Throwback Thursday takes us back to a thrilling moment in Notre Dame football history, captured in Gerard Meskill’s 2002 review for Scholastic Magazine. The clash between Notre Dame and Michigan was a rollercoaster of emotions, marked by both sloppy play and breathtaking highlights. This game stood out as Notre Dame’s first victory over a top-10 opponent in four years, making it a landmark achievement for head coach Tyrone Willingham. Despite the chaotic gameplay, with six fumbles and two interceptions, the Irish emerged victorious by a narrow two-point margin. The win propelled Notre Dame to a 3-0 start for the first time since 1996 and broke a four-year drought against their arch-rivals.
