It should be a good game (meaning it should be close and competitive), but it's going to be terrible football. At this point, neither team has been able to do anything on offense. Michigan looks light years away from putting together anything resembling a typical DickRod offense. Notre Dame seems content with lobbing up fade routes every other play (which works on occassion vs. teams like SDSU, but not against Big Ten schools).
Michigan's defense looks very, very tough, and is no doubt their team's strength. I think they still have one of the best D-lines in the country, and they're going to murder Emu-boy all day long. Notre Dame's defense looked pretty good today vs. SDSU (that it for what it's worth). Tenuta is well respected, and I'm sure he'll have a good game plan going into this one.
All in all, I think it's going to be a low-scoring, ugly football game. Blocked kicks, kick-off returns and turnovers are going to decide this one. I doubt either team will put over 20 points, and I think the first team that scores a TD probably wins the game.
Michigan 16
Notre Dame 13
