Notre Dame Beats Michigan State 33-30!

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were able to bury the demons that had haunted them for years this past weekend, finally beating the Michigan State Spartans at Notre Dame Stadium 33-30.  The Irish had not beaten the Spartans in South Bend since 1993. This thrilling win will certainly bode will for the team as a whole, and might give coach Charlie Weis one more accomplishment to add to his long list.

Jimmy Clausen had an amazing game and led the Irish on a winning touchdown drive with a 33-yard pass to Golden Tate. The Irish defense then had to step up to seal the deal, and it couldn’t have come a moment too soon. Kyle McCarthy made a spectacular interception as the Spartans were threatening to make a winning drive of their own. According to the AP (via Sports Illustrated) Coach Charlie Weis had this to say:

”After last week, how bad everybody felt in a very similar situation in the ending of the game, to make a play to change the outcome in favor of us, I’m really, really happy for those kids in there. It’s nice to see how genuinely excited they are. They feel great.”
