Game Summary
It was a game for the ages, back and forth with each team playing to their strengths. In the end, it was Tate Forcier’s time to lead the team to the game-winning TD with 11 seconds to play. Forcier had 310 total yards and was named the player of the week in the Big Ten. It was the best performance ever by a True Freshman quarterback wearing Maize and Blue and it was the most points ever scored in the Michigan-Notre Dame series. The annual battle is back on the national map.
Michigan is now set to run the table in the preseason. Pollsters rank the Wolverines #25 this week and bowl projections are for the Wolverines to be in the Outback Bowl on New Years Day. What a difference a couple of wins can make. Oh, and no one is talking about the allegations of too much practice time.
