RESPECT: Notre Dame Rolls Over MSU!

The Fighting Irish put it on Michigan State tonight -- in front of a national TV audience in prime time!

Notre Dame goes "toe to toe" with the #10 ranked team in the country -- on the road -- and wins easily 20 - 3.

Quick keys to the game:

• Notre Dame 4 sacks and constant pressure on MSU's Maxwell
• Notre Dame deflecting MANY passes -- when was the last time we saw that!
• Notre Dame's defense shutting down MSU's run game
• A big throw by Golson and catch by John Goodman to put the IRISH in front 7 - 0
• NO TURNOVERS!

I am so happy for the young men in the GOLD HELMETS and Coach Kelly and his staff.  HUGE WIN!
