ImageMichigan RB Mike Hart made good on his promise.  The Michigan Wolverines did win.  Correction: The Michigan Wolverines humiliated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. When the Big House cleared, the scoreboard read, “Notre Dame 0, Michigan 38.”

 

On a day when the world was watching, everyone wanted to see which historical program would start their season off at 0-3.  After two unforgettable losses to Appalachian State and Oregon, Lloyd Car was having no part of a 0-3 start.

 

The Wolverines dominated in every aspect of the game.  Hart finished the game with 187 yards and 2 TD’s.  As Michigan's starting QB Chad Henne watched from the coaches-box due to injury, freshman QB Ryan Mallet threw for 3 TD’s, on 7-15 passing.

 

ImageThree games into his third year as head coach, Charlie Weis finds himself at 0-3, and his offense has yet to score a touchdown.  Notre Dame was held to 79 total yards.

 

After his second year as head coach, Weis was awarded a hefty 10-year extension. This may soon turn into an ugly situation for the Fighting Irish.  In a controversial move, Former head coach Tyrone Willingham was fired in 2004 after his third season, in which the Irish finished 6-5. 

 

Willingham, an African American, finished with a 21-15 record in three seasons.  Weis’ record now stands at 19-9. If the Irish don’t make drastic improvements soon, many will question the policies in place in Indiana.
