Notre Dame vs Michigan Predictions – 7:30 ET ABC

These 2 teams almost mirror each other. Consider the recruitment battles – there are a whole bunch of UM players that ND recruited.

Both QB’s are very good and for the most part accurate except when pressured, then they get happy feet.

Both teams wideouts are bigger than the DB’s who will be guarding them.

Both teams rely on their Defenses to apply pressure and stop the run. ND has the edge here with their DE’s, but Michigan has huge Ol – so who wants it more? The UM defense is coached by Don Brown who will throw the kitchen sink at Ian Book.

Last week Michigan fell 3 TD’s behind to a good Penn State team, came back and almost won. This week Michigan has home field advantage and that place rocks with rabid fans. ND cannot fall behind and win.

So flip a coin. Either team could win this game.
