What's Not to Like?

That was one sweet win last night made sweeter by the fact that the many Michigan fans in the stadium never even had a moment to be happy about anything.  Not really sure how good or bad the Wolveriness are this year but let me just say I am predicting Brady Hoke will not be their coach next year.

The Irish on the other hand seem very good on both sides of the ball.  We were also very efficient.   Michigan had more yardage, more first downs, the same yards per play and even longer punts.  But we beat them 31-0 thanks to a very stingy defense and another great game by Golson.  Wow.  We were 7 of 15 on third down conversions, 1-1 on 4th down and perfect in the red zone.  We forced 4 turnovers and had none ourselves.  Wow, this is a well coached team that deserved to win big.

This was an important early milestone and there is plenty left to do but let's savor this one for a while because it was historic in many ways including being the first time ND has ever shut out Michigan.  Yeah baby!

GO IRISH!  Beat Boilers!
