Forget the clock. Forget the call.
Notre Dame shouldn’t let it come down to those. Instead, the Irish cracked under pressure and Marcus Freeman needs to walk his own talk.
Challenge everything.
Because the Irish failed that charge on all levels at BYU

The Bryce Underwood era at Michigan appears to be over. Underwood owns the results on the field, but the rest isn’t on him. Michigan set him up to fail by turning his recruitment into a spectacle and overpaying a QB to paper over its problems.

OK, maybe it will matter. Can't explain it, but Michigan's backs and o-line seem to be playing with more confidence since the QB change.
Michigan probably should make a QB change at half, but it's not gonna matter because the run game stinks. Michigan is averaging 3.1 yards per rush against a run defense that ranks No. 17 in the Big Ten.

Penn State's Josiah Zayas just made a one-handed pick that was Odell Beckham-esque. Goodness.

Some jawing between the teams after Bryce Underwood was tackled near the Penn State sideline. Coaches and officials had to step in and separate.

Andrew Marsh had a step. The ball was a bit underthrown, otherwise it's a TD. Instead it pops in the air and gets picked by Zion Tracy.

Michigan's defense holds in the red zone, but that opening drive by Penn State chewed up nine minutes of the first quarter. Another game where Michigan's defense could be asked to defend a lot of plays.

It’s been a rough start for Matt Campbell and Kyle Whittingham, proven winners coaching Big Ten blue bloods. Which program are you betting on for the immediate future, Michigan or Penn State?
@ScottDochterman and I broke it down.

“It’s him, Orlando Pace and Archie Griffin.”
Since the moment Ryan Day’s knees buckled at the podium, Jeremiah Smith has been on path to exceed an almost unachievable level of hype
On his legacy and the part of his game continues to impress Cris Carter

The day before Michigan faced Iowa, two players filed for temporary restraining orders that would allow them to play for the Wolverines. Now a judge has cleared the way for them to join the team at midseason.
