2012 Week 4

The Irish stunned #4 Michigan, 32-27 on Saturday. Cierre Wood's TD with :36 left gave the Irish the upset. Both teams went back and forth, neither giving ground nor gaining an edge. Notre Dame took the lead early in the third but Michigan fought back. Once again, Cierre Wood led the way, gaining 183 yards on 28 carries and scoring 3 TDs. Jimmy Butler threw for 300 TDs and 3 TDs in the loss.

There is growing concern over Everett Golson's turnover problems. He's thrown 7 INTs in 4 games. Tommy Rees has filled in nicely, but is not the answer. Still, after 4 consecutive wins, there is no worry. Yet.
