Notre Dame FOOTBALL 2011 FANS: game day info , the game in up at night . Sorry about the result of this game. I didn't watch any of the game day event on TV that was at michigan campus. I am only a NOTRE DAME sports guy only. It was a very hard game to go back & forth. I did try to route for them just something I sense that it just not in the cards in certain games when you allow a team to stay in the game and when the other team get's a hot streak there is no way to stop them. NDFB not doing well against running QB styles this days when they won it with a running QB ( Tony Rice ) of our own with Tim Brown (WR).
