Notre Dame erased an 11-point 4th quarter deficit only to see Michigan freshman quarterback Tate Forcier throw a game-winning touchdown pass to Greg Matthews with 11seconds left in the game as the Wolverines beat the Irish 38-34 in a thriller at the Big House in Ann Arbor on Saturday.
The game ended with some confusion as the Irish appeared to let the kickoff roll out of the end zone untouched, meaning they should have the full 11 seconds left. But only nine seconds were on the clock when the Irish snapped the ball and time ran out after a completion to Golden Tate.
Charlie Weis was not happy, trying to gain an explanation from officials as to why the clock was set at nine seconds instead of 11. Replays showed the ball was touched by Irish returner Theo Riddick during the kick, thus the reason two seconds ran off.
Forcier was 23 of 33 for 240 yards, two touchdown passes and a touchdown run. "I don't get nervous," Forcier said after the game about keeping his composure in the final minute of the game. "I've been preparing for this my whole life. It's unbelievable. I'm speechless."
Notre Dame drops to 1-1 on the season.
They will host Michigan State next Saturday at the Stadium.

Those of us at OSG HQ wonder just how hot the rather-large seat Charlie Weis is sitting in is now...
