Still a lot of game to go (it’s early in the second quarter) but Notre Dame is looking pretty overrated. They haven’t gotten a first down.

Note, I’m not saying Michigan is that great, but at least it looks like they may get through September without a loss, if they continue like this, and that’s an accomplishment in itself.

[Update a few minutes later]

27-7 with a lot of time remaining in the first half (two of the Michigan touchdowns were off turnovers). And the only reason that Notre Dame got the touchdown was a (rare) interception off Henne–they still haven’t gotten a first down, I don’t think. The Irish have to be in shock.

[Near the end of the half]

The Irish finally managed to put together a drive. 34-13 at the half. I have to think that the Michigan defense is letting up, because they’re becoming complacent. Don’t do that. You’re playing God’s team. Or at least they think they are.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in both locker rooms at half time.

[Update at the end of the third quarter]

40-13, Wolverines.

Still thinking that the Irish were overranked, because they were the Irish. But I’m sure that Michigan will be overranked as a result.

Still, it’s starting to look a lot like 1997…
