One of the biggest showdowns takes place in South Bend when the Michigan Wolverines make the trip to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
The last time these two teams played the Fighting Irish came out ahead 31-0.
Michigan Wolverines
The Michigan Wolverines have high hopes for this season but that seems to be the case every year with this team but so far under the Jim Harbaugh they haven’t been able to deliver.
Ole Miss transfer Shea Patterson will get the start the Wolverines and maybe he is the guy that will take this team back to the level that is expected.
Patterson threw for threw for 2,259 yards and 17 touchdowns last season before a knee injury cut his season short. The Wolverines have had some consistency issues over the years at the quarterback position but they hope those days are behind them.

To win this game the Wolverines need to get some good play out of Shea Patterson. If he struggles in this game they won’t have a chance to come out ahead.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
On the other side of this matchup is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish who also have high expectations for this season and a win in this game would be a start.
Brandon Wimbush was named the starter this year after having a nice season last year. The big thing for him is he needs to not turn the ball over.

This is probably going to be a close game so they need to make sure they are playing good football in the 4th quarter.
