Great full ticket from the first night game ever at The Big House that saw Michigan come back from a 24-7 4th quarter deficit to stun the Irish.
The Final 82 Seconds were absolutely crazy and included 3 TD's -
1st-and-10 at the 21-yard line, Denard Robinson found Vincent Smith as he scurried out of the backfield. Smith broke for the end zone and scored the touchdown. The Wolverines made the extra point and secured their first lead of the night, 28-24.
The Irish completed a 61-yard drive culminating in a 29-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Rees to a wide open Theo Riddick regaining the lead, 31-28.
The Wolverines began their final drive of the game from their own 20-yard line with 30 seconds showing on the clock. The first play was an incomplete pass which burned seven valuable seconds off the clock.
On the next play Denard Robinson, under pressure, scrambled right and lofted a pass from his own 15-yard line to Jeremy Gallon who caught the ball underneath coverage at the Notre Dame 45-yard line. Gallon cut across the field and went out of bounds at the 16-yard line leaving a mere eight seconds on the clock.
Forgoing the field goal attempt which could have forced overtime, Michigan went for the win.
Denard Robinson dropped back and found Roy Roundtree for the 16-yard touchdown, his only reception of the night.
Wolverine fans were absolutely delirious, Michigan 35 Notre Dame 31.
Denard Robinson finished the night with 446 total yards of total offense (338 passing, 108 rushing) and 4 touchdowns (3 passing, 1 rushing) while accounting for 99 percent of the Michigan’s offensive yardage.
