Michigan Football Team Beats Notre Dame Football Team

For the third straight season, the University of Michigan football team overtook Notre Dame in the final 30 seconds, as junior quarterback Denard Robinson (Deerfield Beach, Fla./Deerfield Beach) completed a 16-yard pass to senior/junior wide receiver Roy Roundtree (Trotwood, Ohio/Trotwood-Madison) with two seconds remaining to give the Wolverines a 35-31 comeback victory in the Under the Lights contest on Saturday (Sept. 10) inside Michigan Stadium. In front of a record crowd of 114,804 fans, the Wolverines clawed their way back into the game from a 14-0 deficit in the first quarter, tallying 28 fourth-quarter points.

Robinson completed 11 passes for 338 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for one more score to go with a team-high 108 yards rushing. The lead changed three times in the final minute and a half of the contest, before U-M scored the go-ahead touchdown to end a 30-second, 80-yard drive.
