No. 20 Notre Dame Stuns No. 3 Michigan 17-10

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- A mere two games into his coaching career at Notre Dame, Charlie Weis has joined Knute Rockne in the record books - and has his team playing like the Fighting Irish of old. Brady Quinn threw two touchdown passes in the first half and the 20th-ranked Fighting Irish held on to beat No. 3 Michigan 17-10 Saturday, making Weis the first Notre Dame coach to win his first two games on the road since Rockne in 1918.<br> <br> Notre Dame (2-0), which won at then-No. 23 Pittsburgh last week, snapped the Wolverines&#39; 16-game winning streak at Michigan Stadium and handed them their first loss against a nonconference team at home since 1998. The Irish - two years removed from losing 38-0 in Ann Arbor - also won at Michigan for the first time since 1993.<br> <br> Michigan (1-1) squandered several chances in the fourth quarter to pull within a touchdown before finally capitalizing on their third opportunity.<br> <br> On a fourth-and-3, Chad Henne lofted a 25-yard pass to Mario Manningham with 3:47 left to make it 17-10. <br> <br> The Wolverines then forced Notre Dame to punt, but four incomplete passes later, the Irish were celebrating on the sideline.<br> <br> Notre Dame didn&#39;t need much help to beat the Wolverines, but instant replay overturned two calls in its favor in the fourth quarter.<br> <br> On a sneak from inside Notre Dame&#39;s 1, Henne was ruled down, but a review showed that he fumbled and that the Irish&#39;s Chinedum Ndukwe recovered the ball in the end zone. On the ensuing possession, officials ruled that Quinn fumbled, but a review showed that his knee was down, allowing the Irish to keep the ball deep in their territory.<br> <br> Each time, Michigan&#39;s student section responded by throwing water bottles and other debris on the field.<br> <br> Quinn was 19-for-30 for 140 yards and Darius Walker ran for 104 yards for the Irish.<br> <br> D.J. Fitzpatrick&#39;s 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter gave Notre Dame a 17-3 lead.<br> <br> On its next possession, Walker fumbled, giving Michigan some hope<br> <br> The Wolverines drove to Notre Dame&#39;s 5, but were turned away after being stuffed on two runs and two passes that fell incomplete. They got inside Notre Dame&#39;s 1 on their next possession, before Henne&#39;s fumble.<br> <br> The game was a defensive struggle as the Wolverines were held to their lowest point total since Iowa beat them 34-9 in 2002. That game started a home-winning streak that Notre Dame snapped in front of 111,386 fans.<br> <br> Michigan running back Mike Hart and Notre Dame receiver Rhema McKnight were injured in the first half.<br> <br> Hart was limping after a hard hit by linebacker Corey Mays late in the first quarter. He left the game and had ice under his left hamstring on the bench.<br> <br> McKnight - who caught a 5-yard touchdown pass to give the Fighting Irish a 7-0 lead on the opening possession of the game - twisted his right knee after being tackled by Brandent Englemon on an incomplete pass in the second quarter. McKnight immediately held his knee and after a few minutes, he was able to walk off the field with the help of two trainers.<br> <br> A week after having three tight ends on its first play, the Irish used a shotgun formation and an empty backfield to open the game. They didn&#39;t use a huddle at times during the 12-play drive and didn&#39;t have a third down.<br> <br> The Wolverines held Notre Dame to a total of 16 yards on its next three possessions, before Steve Breatson&#39;s 30-yard reverse on the last play of the first quarter gave them the ball in Irish territory for the first time. Garrett Rivas&#39; 38-yard field goal made it 7-3.<br> <br> Notre Dame responded with its second 12-play drive for a TD, capped by Quinn&#39;s 5-yard pass to Jeff Samardzija for a 14-3 lead with 4:24 left in the second quarter.<br> <br> © 2005 The Associated Press.
