Week One Preview

Notre Dame Week 1 preview

8/31/18

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (11) will be hosting the Michigan Wolverines (14) at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. The game will be broadcast on NBC.

Notre Dame needs to get rid of the ball fast with Michigan having such a good defense. ND quarterback Brandon Wimbush will have many options to prove himself in the game, but expect Wimbush to split playing time with backup Ian Book. Book competed last year in the bowl game for the Irish, when Wimbush lost his touch.

Michigan’s defense has something to prove this season. They were a really dominant team going into last season and after 5 losses people questioned their defensive talent. Except Michigan to be letting their defensive studs go all out in this game.

Our prediction is a low scoring defensive battle with the final being Notre Dame 17, Michigan 14.
