Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Michigan Wolverines Match Player Stats On Oct 26, 2019

Zach Charbonnet ran for two touchdowns and Hassan Haskins rushed for 149 yards on 20 carries as No. 19 Michigan dealt a crushing blow to No. 8 Notre Dame's College Football Playoff aspirations with a dominant 45-14 win at soggy Ann Arbor, Mich. on Saturday.

Shea Patterson tossed two touchdown passes for Michigan (6-2), which recorded just its second win in 12 games against top- 10 opponents under coach Jim Harbaugh.

Notre Dame (5-2) has lost eight of its last nine visits to Michigan Stadium with its last win coming in 2005. Quarterback Ian Book completed just 8 of 25 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. The Irish were held to 180 total yards.

The Irish were limited to 52 total yards and three first downs in the first half as the Wolverines jumped to a 17-0 lead.

The Wolverines got on the board with a 21-yard Jake Moody field goal with 5:25 left in the first quarter. Charbonnet had a 35-yard run to bring Michigan inside the Irish's 5 but the Wolverines couldn't punch it in.

The next possession was a different story. Relying solely on the ground game, Michigan put together an eight-play, 59-yard drive finished off by Charbonnet's 7-yard scamper up the middle.

Following a three-and out for Notre Dame, Michigan scored again early in the second quarter. Patterson's 22-yard run set up Charbonnet's 1-yard scoring run.

Notre Dame broke through with 5:27 left in the third quarter on Book's 7-yard scoring pass to tight end Cole Kmet. Book rolled out to his right and threw across the field to a wide open Kmet. The drive was kept alive by a questionable pass interference call that wiped away a Michigan interception.

Haskins burst through a hole for a 49-yard run on Michigan's next drive, taking the ball to the Notre Dame 26-yard line. The Irish were then whistled for pass interference twice before Patterson tossed an 8-yard scoring pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones to make it 24-7, which is where the score stood at the end of three quarters.

Patterson's 16-yard scoring strike to Nico Collins with 11:29 remaining gave the Wolverines a 31-7 lead. Tru Wilson scored on a 27-yard run less than three minutes later to make it 38-7, and Dylan McCaffrey's 26-yard pass to Mike Sainristil completed Michigan's scoring. The Irish's Phil Jurkovec found Javon McKinley from 14 yards out to make it 45-14 with 3:45 to play and round out the scoring.
