Under the Dome Davie for age discrimination and wins, the Irish outscore defending co-national champ Michigan 30-7 in the second half for a 36-20 conquest versus the No. 5 Wolverines. Led by quarterback Tom Brady, Michigan accumulates 472 yards total offense but misses four field goals and loses two fumbles (the Irish finish with zero turnovers). For Notre Dame, first-time starting quarterback Jarious Jackson completes only 4 of 10 pass attempts, but in a span of 2:38 in the third quarter he tosses four- and 35-yard touchdown passes to tight end Dan O'Leary and wideout Raki Nelson, respectively, for a 23-13 lead that would balloon to 36-13. Jackson adds 62 yards rushing to complement senior tailback Autry Denson's 162 yards and two scores on the ground. 10 Years Ago: Sept. 6, 2003 Senior kicker Nicholas Setta boots a 40-yard field goal in overtime for No. 19 Notre Dame's second-ever victory after regulation time, 29-26 versus Washington State. The Fighting Irish trail 19-3 at halftime and 19-6 entering the fourth quarter before rallying for a 26‑26 deadlock, led by the rushing of Ryan Grant (17 carries for 98 yards) and Julius Jones (11 carries for 72 yards). The duo had combined for 14 attempts for 32 yards through the first three quarters before totaling 14 for 138 yards in the fourth. — Lou Somogyi Want to stay up-to-date with all the Irish news?
