A friend of mine by the name of Matt Orlando -- sent me this photo -- this morning. One of Matt's friends took this shot during the game Saturday night.
IT HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED...
Many of you know Manti's story -- last week he lost his Grandmother and Girl Friend on back to back days.

Back in 1950, Billy Casper was a 19 year-old freshman at the University of Notre Dame -- before a "young lady" talked him into leaving school and returning home to California...
You'll want to read this story about the former U.S. Open and Master's champion's trip back home to Notre Dame. Good stuff here!
Former Notre Dame All-American Michael Floyd made his first NFL catch and it was a TOUCHDOWN -- in the first half of the Arizona Cardinals' game against Philadelphia.
Floyd chose to celebrate this by "dunking the ball" over the goal post. His buddies are going to give him a hard time about this effort. Here's the video!
Notre Dame held Michigan State and Michigan (these past two weeks) without a touchdown. This is the first time a team has held these two schools without a TD in the same season -- since Ohio State accomplished this in 1970. That's 42 years my friends!
Ohio State 29 -- Michigan State 0
Ohio State 20 -- Michigan 9
FYI: Ohio State went 9 - 0 that season -- only to lose to Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
A wonderful NOTRE DAME MOMENT took place last night -- long after the IRISH beat Michigan 13 - 6 in Notre Dame Stadium.
Thousands of Notre Dame students and The Band of the Fighting Irish celebrated the big win -- TWENTY TO THIRTY MINUTES -- after many fans had already left the stadium.
The gang at UND.COM interviewed a number of the IRISH players after last night' 13 - 6 win over Michigan. It was Notre Dame's fourth straight win to start the season.
A Detroit Free Press columnist crowned the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish BIG TEN CHAMPS after Notre Dame's three straight wins over Purdue, Michigan State and Michigan -- giving up only two touchdowns along the way...
Now, the article takes its share of shots at our IRISH -- but, it's still good to see a BIG TEN guy write about the IRISH beating their teams!
It was quite a scene last night in Notre Dame Stadium -- twenty minutes after the game.
The student section was almost completely full, leis of almost every color were being twirled over head and the Notre Dame family was dancing in the stands to "OH WHAT A NIGHT...."
No one wanted to leave -- no one wanted to forget what it was like to win HUGE GAMES -- BACK TO BACK -- IN PRIME TIME!
It's been too long...
For those who are counting -- Notre Dame's defense has yet to give up a TOUCHDOWN in prime time!
Here's what the media has to say this mornin' about Notre Dame...
After holding the BIG TEN to two touchdowns in three games and the State of Michigan with ZERO -- Coach Kelly met with the media to talk about Notre Dame's 13 to 6 win over Michigan!
Twenty minutes after #11 Notre Dame's 13 - 6 win over #18 Michigan -- thousands of ND students were still in the stands dancing to the strains of "OH, WHAT A NIGHT..."
What a scene!
Tonight was payback -- for all of the games Notre Dame "gave away" the past few years. It wasn't pretty -- but our IRISH are 4 - 0 with two wins over the State of Michigan!
Here's what the media has to say less than two hours after the big win:
Took a lap around the worldwide web this morning -- before heading over to the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center for the Love Thee Notre Dame Celebration. Regis Philbin is hosting and it should be quite the show!
