Saying Good-Bye Turned Out Easy To Do!

31 - 0 -- was a game of firsts and a game of last...

The firsts -- this was the first shutout of Michigan in the games played between these two schools dating all the way back to 1887.  It was also the largest margin of victory for Notre Dame in this series.

And yes, it will be the LAST time these two schools will meet on the football field in the foreseeable future...

A game where Notre Dame was without FOUR STARTERS, three on defense -- turned out to be just perfect!

And to add insult to injury -- the shutout was the FIRST time a Michigan team has been shutout since 1984 -- a FBS record 365 straight games...

A great way to send Michigan home to Ann Arbor!
