Notre Dame Defense Silences Spartans

Tom Zbikowski returned a fumble 75 yards for a touchdown and had an interception that set up another score for Notre Dame, which forced six turnovers and beat Michigan State 31-24 on Saturday night. The Fighting Irish (2-1) got three interceptions and recovered three fumble in their second straight victory, bouncing back from a season-opening loss to Brigham Young. Freshman Darius Walker, the hero of last week's 28-20 win over Michigan, had 98 yards on 26 carries for Notre Dame.

I am a long time Notre Dame hater, but I have always love Willingham! So I am rooting for the guy 100%!

Notre Dame gets to play a real team later in the season. Go Vols!

Or as Kerry would say, the Hiberians of Notre Dame beat the Laconians of Michigan State.

Last night I watched the Florida players get cheated out of a victory by an SEC official. The SEC is full of corruption. This official should never be allowed in another stadium.

BTW, I am not even a Florida fan.

With six turnovers, not even Notre Dame could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory last night.

Congrats to Willingham. Say, didn't Notre Dame lose to Brigham Young? Last week Stanford crushed Brigham Young.

Dude, Notre Dame beat Michigan last week, knocking it way down in the standings. Umich is a very real team.
