3:30 pm ABC
In a somewhat odd choice, this is not a match up of undefeateds rather this is match up of defeateds. After today, one of these teams will be 0-3 and if it is Lloyd Carr his job is officially in jeopardy. The quietest 110,000 person crowd you will ever hear will have something to cheer for as Notre Dame's offense has been nothing less than impotent this season against their first two opponents. In those games against Penn State and Georgia Tech the Irish are yet to score a touchdown. Both teams will be starting true freshmen quarterbacks in the Irish's Jimmy Clausen and Michigan's Ryan Mallet.Both were highly prized recruits coming out of high school in California and Texas respectively. They also been thrown into action earlier than expected, taking their lumps. We have Michigan winning though due to a better offensive line and running back at his disposal. That running back Mike Hart will run over the the Irish defense in rout to a 24-6 win.
It will be the third straight game in which the Irish do not score a touchdown under offensive genius Charlie Weiss. It will also get more people asking about why there is no talk of Weiss' impending departure as there was with Tyronne Willingham three years ago. Lloyd Carr will live to play another week though his seat will remain the hottest in college football.
