Young group responds to calls to communicate
With the lights shining down Saturday night inside an overflowing Notre Dame Stadium, the Irish will align on the west sideline, the Wolverines on the east strip. One-hundred and sixty feet of crisp FieldTurf will separate Notre Dame and Michigan.
For many in Notre Dame’s clubhouse, there was little to worry about following the team’s 48-17 win over Rice on Saturday.
As if Notre Dame wasn’t going to be crowded enough this weekend for the primetime matchup between two rivals playing their final scheduled meeting, the Irish are set to host at least 24 recruits over the weekend.
Notre Dame won’t waste much time getting into the big games on its schedule this season.
Both teams rolled in their season openers. Got it.
On Saturday at Michigan Stadium, Devin Funchess showed his play matches the No. 1 jersey he now wears. The Wolverines junior receiver totaled seven catches for 95 yards and three touchdowns, earning himself a spot resting on the bench as Michigan finished rolling over Appalachian State 52-14. He amassed these numbers all before halftime and set a Michigan record for most touchdown receptions in a season opener.
