Notre Dame Fighting Irish Depth Chart

Hello and welcome to another edition of 'Live Blogging on Shish on College Football'. Tonight it is one of the signature rivalries in NCAA FBS Football. The Michigan Wolverines take on Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Wolverines are ranked #14 in both writers and coaches poll. While the Irish are #11 in the Coaches Poll and #12 in the Writers' Poll. 

This is looking like a low-scoring affair, as both teams were ranked in the Top 40 in the nation in defense. The Wolverines will have 10 starters returning. While the Irish will have 9 starters returning, including my fellow high school alumni, Junior Cornerback Julian Love. 

Michigan will start Junior Transfer Shea Patterson at quarterback. While the Irish will have Senior Brandon Wimbaush at quarterback. 

It is the Michigan Wolverines taking on Notre Dame Fighting Irish, coming up shortly.

Game Location: Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, IN

Michigan will be in all white uniforms with their maize wings and blue helmets. While Notre Dame is in their gold helmets and pants, with navy blue jerseys.

Receiving: Finke (ND) 3 receptions, 55 yards, TD

Final Thoughts:
After going off to a 14-0 Irish start, both defenses clamped down. But in the end the Irish made more plays in the return of their rivalry with Michigan.

A big win for the Irish, as they get an early jump on the CFP race, compared to Wolverines. However the Wolverines can come back if they run the table and win the Big Ten Championship. But that is easier said than done, when they have to face Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan State, in their division. 

The Wolverines will be at home to play Western Michigan. While the Irish will have another home game to play Ball State.
