Throwing the football, Golson
spread the wealth among Notre
Dame's offense by connecting with
seven separate receivers. Sophomore
wideout Will Fuller led the way with
a career-high nine receptions for 89
yards and a score. In 2013, Fuller
caught six passes the entire season.
"I just got to take advantage of my
opportunity," Fuller said. "I'm happy I
got this opportunity to play and to start.
"I had an early drop. That touch-
down really got me going."
Senior running back turned slot
receiver Amir Carlisle also made the
most of his opportunity under the
lights. A year ago, the former USC
transfer struggled with catching
passes out of the backfield, includ-
ing screens and receptions in the flat.
The Irish defense contained Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner and held the Wolverines scoreless for
the first time in their 42 meetings.
