September 12, 201115 yr If Notre Dame's 'pass defense' hadn't regressed to a junior high level of play in either of Michigan's last two times with the ball, most likely a different ending. Amused by Herbstreit's observation that Dennard Robinson intentionally threw a ball short into the end zone so the receiver could reach back and get it. Looked like a lollipop the ND DB never saw, and the receiver adjusted back to the ball. The praiseful rhetoric was oozing out of the television. The defense, as has been noted earlier, got worse for both teams the longer the game went on. 0-2 Notre Dame may struggle to reach .500 level this season, if they don't stop giving up the ball on turnovers, short circuiting their 500+ yards of offense per game productivity.
September 12, 201115 yr I did not see much from Michigan to make me believe they are back with Hoke at the helm. Do not forget the past two seasons following the Notre Dame/Michigan game, Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson were destined to win the Heisman trophy. Hoke does seem like a great guy though so I am hoping he does get things going. I think what Michigan has going for them best is that tOSU has a bad reputation at this time. I see both teams being around 8-9 wins this year. Given recent struggles I would take that.
