SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Jimmy Clausen threw two touchdown passes and Notre Dame took advantage of six Michigan turnovers to get some revenge for consecutive blowout losses to the Wolverines with a 35-17 victory Saturday.
Notre Dame started fast, grabbing a 21-0 lead with the help of two Michigan lost fumbles in opening minutes. Irish linebacker Brian Smith also returned a fumble 35 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to put the game away.
Notre Dame didn't come away completely unscathed, however. Coach Charlie Weis was knocked over on the sideline by a Michigan player during a punt return in the first half and spent the rest of the game on crutches with his left leg wrapped.
