After its second loss of the season de facto eliminated Michigan from
College Football Playoff contention and takes the Big Ten out of the
Wolverines’ hands, Notre Dame comes to Ann Arbor to renew one
of college football’s oldest rivalries. The two will play under the lights
at Michigan Stadium, bringing back memories of the classic 2011
matchup, as Michigan attempts to salvage its season by beating the
first of three rivals — the Irish, Michigan State and Ohio State — still
on the schedule.

With two losses, here’s what’s left for
Michigan to play for.
Defensive line coach Shaun Nua is part of a
small group of Samoan-American football
coaches. On his roots, and what they mean.

A look back at the 2011 Under the Lights
matchup against Notre Dame.
Middle Tennessee State (Aug. 31): Look man,
the middle of Tennessee is decidedly not a state.
Army (Sept. 7): The Army football team: The
only time running behind enemy lines is a good
idea.
Penn State (Oct. 19): Hey, Mike.
Notre Dame (Oct. 26): You think beating Mich-
igan is special? Everyone’s doing it these days!
Maryland (Nov. 2): Maybe Mike Locksley and
Josh Gattis shouldn’t have been so quick to fight
over credit for their offense after all.
Wisconsin (Sept. 21): Sure, your town is sick
and your beer is elite but you lost to Illinois and
Michigan didn’t. So there!
Michigan State (Nov. 16): The Michigan Daily
has beaten The State News 14 years in a row.
Rutgers (Sept. 28): My grandma’s New Jersey
retirement home mahjong group could beat Rut-
gers in football ... basketball would be close, too.
Iowa (Oct. 5): The year is 2080. Aliens have
taken over. Iowa capped off a 7-5 season with a
five-year extension for Kirk Ferentz. All is well.
Illinois (Oct. 12): It turns out Lovie Smith does
still have a pulse!
Ohio State (Nov. 30): Do you think Justin
Fields can play The Game online, too?
Indiana (Nov. 23): Hoosier favorite to be the
next head coach of this supremely mediocre
program?
