in the second week of the season, michigan played notre dame in south bend. after a scoreless first quarter, notre dame took a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. john wangler replaced rich hewlett in the second quarter, and threw two touchdown passes in the span of 1:19 to tie the game, 14-14, at halftime. in the second half, anthony carter returned the opening kickoff 67 yards to the notre dame 32-yard line, and michigan scored on a two-yard run by stanley edwards. notre dame scored a touchdown (but missed the extra point) with 1:03 left in the third quarter on a 49-yard interception return of a wangler pass. the last three minutes of the game proved to be one of the most exciting finishes in the michigan-notre dame rivalry. with 3:03 left in the game, notre dame scored to take a 26-21 lead (an attempted two-point conversion failed). on the next drive, butch woolfolk ran 36 yards on a trap play, taking the ball to the notre dame four-yard line with less than a minute to play. wangler threw a pass to woolfolk in the end zone that was tipped and caught by michigan tight end, craig dunaway, to give the wolverines a 27-26 lead with 41 seconds left. after a touchback, notre dame took over on its own 20-yard line with 40 seconds left. in five plays, notre dame moved the ball to the michigan 41-yard line. notre dame's drive was aided by a controversial pass interference call against michigan of which coach schembechler said after the game, "it was the key play, without it, they wouldn't have scored at all." and on the final play of the game, notre dame placekicker harry oliver kicked an improbable 51-yard field into a strong wind to give notre dame the 29-27 victory. notre dame coach dan devine performed the sign of the cross as oliver's kick left his foot, and oliver said, "this is by far the greatest moment of my life. i have to thank god and our lady, god had to be with me." schembechler said after the game, "i'm proud of the way we came back. we had as much right to win as they did. but they hung in there and they had the last shot. time just ran out."
