We learned today that Michigan quarterback Chad Henne will not play on Saturday against Notre Dame.  He suffered a leg injury against Oregon last weekend, and no timeframe for his return has been provided.  Freshman Ryan Mallett will start for Michigan so let the battle of the freshmen begin!

As sad as it is for me to admit, this is shaping up to be one exciting matchup primarily because I have no idea what to expect!  Two teams with 0-2 records.  Two teams with struggling offenses, defenses, and freshman quarterbacks.  Let the mistakes and comedy of errors begin!  It’s just wrong I tell you!  This is Notre Dame and Michigan!  Storied teams with volumes of history reduced to playing the Bottom of the Barrel Bowl.

I don’t care though.  I’m still going to watch.  I’m still going to cheer for my Irish and curse the Wolverines.
