Why is this rivalry going away again?
Michigan's quarterback Devin Gardner and his favorite wide receiver Jeremy Gallon put on a show and the Wolverines beat Notre Dame, 41-30 in the second night game ever at Michigan Stadium. Notre Dame put a scare in the Wolverines late with an interception from Stephon Tuitt, but Michigan was able to hold off a late Fighting Irish charge.
But as much as Michigan fans loved stopping Notre Dame's comeback, they probably wished the Irish would come back as Ann Arbor bid adieu -- for now -- to one of its great rivals for the foreseeable future.
