Michigan Beats Notre Dame in 38-34 Thriller

Share

(AP) – A dropped TD pass didn't deflate Tate Forcier. The Michigan freshman simply threw another one on the next play. After LaTerryal Savory bobbled and dropped a go-ahead TD with just seconds remaining, Forcier hit Greg Mathews for a 5-yard score with 11 seconds left, lifting the Wolverines to a 38-34 win over No. 18 Notre Dame today. Forcier was 23 of 33 for 240 yards, two TDs and an interception in the win. He ran for 70 yards and a score.

Both teams played extremely hard. I see no reason to criticize Charlie Weis for this game, looks like both teams will have fine seasons and should be bowl bound. Reply

Damn fine game? ND was robbed of a touchdown and were flagged for tiny stupid shit. I seen where Michigan should've got flagged but they didn't. Cheaters. Coach Fraud will get his Karma. Reply
