you are looking live at the nation's largest stadium on a historic night they've played football at Michigan Stadium for 84 years but this will be the Wolverines first-ever night game [Music] handoff and bursting through for a first down run is Ciara would number 20 rolling his Reis firing complete to the 20 in the big man number three Michael Floyd not been on the red zone wood picks his way to the 9 yard line and it will be first and goal for the Irish they come back the other way for a touchdown Notre Dame and instead they hit Theo Riddick for the score so Floyd is used to occupy them on the left and they come back and they hit number 6 Theo Riddick and Ruiz who was just excellent drops one off underneath the grave and gray crosses the 30 yard on but they were coming anyway and the average trying to run away from it and they do again under fire and now he's five for five and another first down and again it is Riddick so the go-to guy here so far is the junior from New Jersey quickly to the pocket and he is still perfect and a nice catch that time by Eifert Tyler Eifert down and it tied in from Fort Wayne Indiana you get away from some of the pressures in South Bend or wherever you might be playing at home and get on the road we're seeing that early and Reese remains perfect Michael Floyd again very poised would touchdown Notre Dame I want to make a point about what Coach Kelly did today he got the team out of bed and Dearborn they bussed over to Ford Field home of the Detroit Lions and they actually walked through the game plan on offense and defensive so a lot of things going on and here the Irish jump out to a 14-point lean Robertson keeps at this time and that's their first first down of the Hemmingway gallon Roundtree very quiet so far pump-faked and drop it back down the middle and a diving interception at the 39 yard line a turnover as Gary gray comes up with a diving reception that's his fifth career interception for the Fighting Irish for
