College Football Look Ahead: Week 2 - Notre Dame at Michigan

Notre Dame plays at Michigan on Saturday. Analysts suggest this is a game that will be won or lost based on which team has the fewest errors. Notre Dame's offense was explosive in week 1. Unfortunately, when it really counted, the grenade exploded in Notre Dame's hands before they had actually tossed it, and this usually resulted in turning the ball over to USF. Michigan's defense, conversely, showed up in the second half against Western Michigan in week 1 while the much-touted offense shuddered and rode the shoulders of Denard Robinson. But if Michigan relies too much on Shoelaces, he will wear out quickly and prove ineffective.

This kind of game can be fondly referred to as a battle between to handicapped opponents. Or, as Trey Parker and Matt Stone prefer: A cripplefight.
