A (likely) scenario for next year. It is Oct 19, 2019.
Michigan is back (again)! Having crushed opponents like Middle Tennessee State and Army, along with dominating their Big Ten foes like Iowa, Penn State and Wisc, your favorite Michigan fan is telling you (with the helpmof ESPN et al) Michigan is back and ready for prime time with a compelling young defense that is playing well beyond its years and a great, experienced QB.
Notre Dame is in trouble! Entering the game having faced Georgia and SC and a week off, the Irish are undefeated (or one loss to Georgia . . . ), still looking strong after a great 2018 season. But can they beat a Harbaugh led and resurgent Michigan in the BIG HOUSE?
That's the story line a year from now on ESPN, and elsewhere. Now, predict the score:
I'll go first: ND 35, Michigan 17.
