I will be attending this game and I expect it to be very
lopsided. The Spartans should have no trouble on either side of the ball and
will use this game to try and improve on their chemistry in the passing game.
Similar to what Michigan
looked to do last week against UMass, the Spartans will want to see control on
the line of scrimmage from the offense and the defense. Look for Andrew Maxwell
to have his best game yet as a starter as the Spartans look to get the taste of
last week’s loss out of their mouths.
Sure, Denard Robinson has a great history against Notre
Dame. But, this doesn’t look to be the same Fighting Irish of past seasons.
This team looks better. In fairness, Michigan
looks worse than it did a year ago as well. The Wolverine defense has been very
suspect against the run and that is something Notre Dame looks to be able to do
very well. I expect the Irish to control tempo on offense and keep Michigan ’s offense of
the field. When Denard is on the field, he has the potential to make a big
play, but he will need help from his receivers and good protection from the
offensive line. The Notre Dame defense is very strong up front and should make
things difficult for him. Michigan
always has that “puncher’s chance” with Denard, but I don’t think he will have
enough tricks up his sleeve on Saturday night. Notre Dame seems primed to have
a 10-win season and make a return to the national picture.
Notre Dame 31, Michigan
