Well, the game we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. 9/10/11, Under the Lights, the first official night game in Michigan Stadium history. (There have been games that extended into the night, by means of overtime and whatnot, but tomorrow's 8pm start is by far the latest kickoff time.)
Something happened last week to get 'ol Brian very angry. Stay classy, Brian.
I've got about 20 friends from undergrad coming in for the game, to join 114K of my other closest friends, for what will surely be the highest attendance ever at a football game. As for predictions? This is a tough one. I'm still wary of our defense's ability to stop anyone after Western carved them up in last week's first half. Some choice halftime adjustments led to better second half play, but this ND team is very talented and well-coached, by the Bob the Tomato impersonator you see above. Denard will have to play a monster game, not quite equaling his breakout performance from last year, but close. It will likely come down to turnovers (last week's tally - UM:0, ND:5), and being at home with a sure to be well-lubricated crowd, I like our chances there.
Denard has 150 yards each rushing and passing, and Michigan wins 24-20. (Dear God, don't let it come down to a field goal.)
This year's hype video...pretty cool when it's on an HD screen the size of a house.
