Michigan's first road game muddied by Notre Dame
By: Courtney Ratkowiak
SOUTH BEND — Even without the rain, the game couldn’t have been sloppier.
In a game that featured seven Michigan fumbles (four lost), 79 penalty yards and two interceptions in the last ten minutes, the Wolverines were trounced 35-17 by Notre Dame on a dreary, overcast afternoon at Notre Dame Stadium.
The Wolverines’ messy play started with the first touch of the game and became progressively worse during the first drive. Boubacar Cissoko lost track of the ball after it hit him on the opening kickoff, forcing the Wolverines to start the drive from their own nine yard line.

Deathless loyalty. Enthusiasm. Conviction. Fielding Yost’s definition of those “right values” date back to the early 1900s. The idea of a Michigan Man is ingrained in the school’s culture, but even those considered personifications of the term struggle to explain exactly what it means.

It's in the Big House. It's Senior Day. That "42-7" score is still leaving a bad taste in every Wolverines' mouth. And, to top it all off, the coaching staff played old tapes of Bob Ufer's best calls from the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry at practice. Michigan is going to be jacked for this game.
Andy Reid: Bob Ufer at practice? Rodriguez definitely 'understands' this rivalry

Let me repeat that — Rich Rodriguez is blasting Ufer’s game calls of the epic battles between Michigan’s and Ohio State’s most iconic coaches. The man whom many have accused of shunning Michigan’s great tradition is using it to his advantage for the single most important week of the year. A little Ufer during Ohio State week? Sounds good to me.
