Saturday's Notre Dame vs Michigan game will be huge as usual for the 2 undefeated teams.

Use this thread to give your predictions on the score and what you think will be the keys for each team in the big game.

For Michigan, the key is to dominate the line of scrimmage and establish the run. Mike Hart needs to have a big day if they have any hope of winning. Obviously, the Irish defense wants to shut that down and force Henne to beat them. On offense, I think Notre Dame will come out with a pretty balanced attack, and as long as they minimize mistakes, they have a real advantage in the match-up against that Wolverine D. Look for that ND tight end (shoot... someone help me with a name?) to have another solid game.

He came up huge against PSU--6 catches for 98 yards? Was it just a flash or is this guy a legit threat to add to the offensive arsenal?

Hi nd1000, welcome to GoTeamsGo

Sounds cool. Maybe somebody can give us the link to that for the ND vs Michigan game.

(btw, no need to post the same thing 3 times, I removed those duplicate posts for you.)

Look forward to chatting with you.

No, I'd venture to say Carlson's the real deal. Man, was he ever impressive! It wasn't just that he caught 6 passes, but it was the way he went about it that was most impressive to me. Definitely seems like he's going to become a dominant tight end.

Carlson should have a monster year, he is legit. Possible 1st round draft choice, but probably a 2nd or 3rd round guy. Him Shark and McKnight will be fun to watch for the remainder.

His emergence gives the Irish four tremendous receiving threats--too much for Michigan to handle today! Wolverines will be a good test, but prediction is that Irish will prevail 35-17.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH... there goes the National Championship ESPN gave you [guys] before the season.

[Lefty Noob]

Yeah, one has to think the Irish are out of the National Title picture after that performance, although that's not a given. Michigan definitely did a number on them. Quinn, his receivers... everyone looked bad. What the heck happened, guys?

No. 11 Michigan crushes No. 2 Notre Dame

The only reason why Georgia Tech lost is because they got tired and Penn State gave the game away. Look what happens when you play a caliber team like UM. O my God wait till the Spartans get ahold of you. I forgot they own you also, along with USC, OSU and the long list of everone else you will play this year. With the exception of the service who is to busy defending our country. Pure Losers Notre LAme

[EmpireWF]

You sure do despise Notre Dame, huh?

Michigan looked good this week but it's going to be tough for Chad Henne to sustain such a high level of play over the next few weeks.

I still think Brady Quinn is the top QB in the nation though.

The luster is now offically off of the rose that was Charlie Weis.
