Last year’s night game between Notre Dame and Michigan -- the first ever at The Big House -- was a complete success. In front of a record crowd, the Wolverines pulled out an exciting victory over the Irish in a game that produced three touchdowns in the final two minutes.
So, the two have decided to stick with this night game thing.
Notre Dame announced Thursday that this season’s Sept. 22 game against Michigan will also be played under the lights. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on NBC. It will be the first night game for the Michigan-Notre Dame matchup in South Bend since 1990 when the top-ranked Fighting Irish defeated the fourth-ranked Wolverines, 28-24.
Hopefully, the outcome will be similar to last year’s game.
