South Bend, IN (Sports Network) - Five straight Michigan passes, five
interceptions.
Notre Dame picked off Denard Robinson four times and forced six turnovers, as
the 11th-ranked Fighting Irish grabbed a 13-6 win over the No. 18 Wolverines
Saturday night.
At one point in the first half, the Fighting Irish (4-0) picked off five
consecutive passes by the Wolverines, who had several threats at the end zone,
but could only muster a pair of Brendan Gibbons field goals.
Tommy Rees came in for a struggling Everett Golson and scored on a two-yard
run in the second quarter. Kyle Brindza added a pair of field goals.
Robinson finished 13-of-24 with 138 yards through the air. He also ran for 90
yards, but the Wolverines (2-2) saw their three-game winning streak against
Notre Dame broken.
