Notre Dame Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly's decision to start Tommy Rees at quarterback this week looks to have been the right move, or maybe they're just playing the Michigan Wolverines defense. Through two scoring drives, Rees was eight-for-eight as the Irish led 14-0 and the much-hyped first-ever night game at the Big House has so far been all Notre Dame.
Notre Dame Vs. Michigan Score: New Starter Tommy Rees Slashing Wolverines
Denard Robinson’s conversion into a more conventional quarterback has turned up some exciting moments, but it’s also delivered an early interception. Robinson has 17 rushing yards, but has completed only one of his four passing attempts.
Recently reinstated Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd is the leading producer from scrimmage, with 44 yards on three catches.
Rees did eventually cool down, throwing an ugly overthrow and an underthrow before Notre Dame lined up to punt the ball back.
