Wolverines move to 3-0 with 41-13 win over Irish
The Michigan Wolverines, who are looking to rebound from a disappointing 2008, seem to be on the right track. The Wolverines jumped out to a 21-0 first quarter lead and cruised to a dominant 41-13 victory over the visiting Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Freshman QB James Tepper led the way for Michigan, completing 14 of his 20 pass attempts for 179 yards and 1 TD--an 18-yard strike to Martavious Odoms--and adding 45 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 8 carries.
The Michigan defense turned in another dominant performance as well, winning the turnover battle 4-0 and sacking Irish QB Jimmy Clausen 3 times.
