Underdog Wolverines Shock South Bend
Michigan jumped out to a 17-3 halftime lead in front of a stunned crowd of Fighting Irish faithful. Devin Gardner found Jeremy Gallon on a 28 yard touchdown reception, Thomas Rawls rumbled in for a score and Gibbons added a field goal.
Notre Dame responded late in the game but it wasn't enough to force overtime, the Wolverines leave South Bend 1-0 overall and an early jump on the division as well posting a 1-0 record.
Notre Dame faces Michigan State in week 2 and Michigan will host Akron.
