The Fighting Irish face their first real challenge of the season this Saturday as they welcome long time bitter rivals the Michigan Wolverines to South Bend. This game is the final in this storied series and is expected to be every bit as competitive as the previous.  This match up usually determines the course of both school's season. 

For Michigan a win over Notre Dame would be loud speaker trash talk for decades to come. As the Wolverines have accused the Irish of "chickening out" of the series. Meanwhile Notre Dame have their star quarterback back on the field. The man taylor made for Coach Kelly's offense. The arm and legs who led this team to the national title game just two years ago. They have their sights set on a return to glory and a chance at a playoff spot.

Before either squad can dream up new year's scenarios they must face each other one last time. Last week the Wolverines handled Applachian State however showed some vulnerability on defense. The Irish did as well in their rout of the Rice Owls. The Irish are without several key defensive players including saftey Austin Collinsworth.
