Ok. If it wasn’t for an outstanding performance by the d-line this game is much different. The offense was non existent after the first quarter. Should have never been this close.

I am very happy we got the win but a better team and coach at least ties that game.

Okay, I watched the entire game don't want to appear too adversarial. Going into the game. we had a great D-Line.... so did UM... maybe even better so we were told. We lost two All Americans on the left side of out offense. You can't replace those guys. That being said, our running backs and receivers never benefited from those accolades for identified reasons.

Brandon Wimbush is back. Tall and fast receivers, Claypool, Boykin, McKinley. These guys are all athletes, but proven in our first game, they want the ball. Greatly improved, BW hit them all on the numbers or radius, Our O-Line was spectacular against a supposed Top 5 Defense.

At the end, we won. Beat the point spread and dominated most of the game. Michigan has a great team but Notre Dame got no respect. Respect now, Go Irish and Cheers!!!

And for the record, I though we would beat them by 14. In a few private messages, I adjusted that to 10. We have a great D but the O had some variables.

I think many of us are comfortable tonight.

Really proud of the boys today and hope this is a sign of great things to come.

Cheers and Go Irish!!!!!!

Secondary still has to grow. There were a number of times that a receiver was open or a step or two faster would have stopped a drive. Can't afford to stall out on O. But, overall, good start to the season. Hope Michigan does very well the rest of the year to keep this a quality win.

Biggest complaint....

Michigan should have had a personal foul on the fumble recovery!! :)

Coney was something like 5 yards out of bounds when he was thrown to the ground

Coney looked great
Wimbush was what we thought he was
Armstrong will be a difference maker
D is good
Secondary is suspect still
Michigan’s QB situation is bad.
Go Irish
Fvck Michigan

holding the second coming per ESPN to under 300, zero TDs, and an INT... I'll take it for the first game...

Ss did a lot better than I thought. CBs decent, but not as good as I thought.

Two years I've been waiting for you to post and you comment on the Secondary? Tell us about your observations on the OLine.

Good to see you posting again!

What the heck. Is suspect about the secondary? Other than one deep ball whiffed by Love/Jalen, they played a pretty damn good game.

Yep, saw that too. Bullshit.

Don't understand all the people talking about how bad michigan's O/QB play was. I thought Patterson/MCCaffrey/Patterson looked pretty good most of the night.

I think ND's D is damn good.

My thoughts:
I think Lea is the magic man, not Elko.
I don’t trust Long.

Nail biter that shouldn’t have been.

Victory nonetheless.

Fuck Michigan.

Great question. I saw very few problems with the "D". DL. LB's and/or DB's. A few mistakes (bad luck) but no problems overall. Really proud of the efforts of the lads. Wrapped them up early and often. Not being facetious, but great job guys! Cheers and Go Irish!!

How does Tillery not get credited the sack on that last fumble? Maybe they gave it Kareem.

I have a friend that I've known all my adult life. We're usually best friends. But she casually roots for Michigan because shes from there.

I've asked her so many times tonight the same question that she told me with a serious face to stop it.


"Hey, I heard a team didnt win at football today. Didja hear about this.?"

I seriously might be endangering a long friendship.

Alcohol talking.

But....probably my only complaint. Thought there were a couple plays where they should have been able been playing up and weren’t in position for the cross routes. Gilman is a GD beast.

Overall they were fine, but Shane is horrid.
