Notre Dame vs. Michigan State: The Chess Mind Pregame Show
The world chess championship is wonderful and all, but now it's time to get down to what really matters: Notre Dame football! (Okay, I'm overstating things a bit...maybe.) The game starts shortly, but there's still time for the pre-game show, which you can find right here. Enjoy!

Notre Dame 14, Georgia Tech 10
Georgia Tech played well and Notre Dame made an awful lot of mistakes, but overall, it was clearly the right result - their domination in the second half was complete. The win was a narrow one, but with Weis at the helm you sense that although the team was occasionally ragged, they believed in themselves; under Willingham that was not always the case - and so they typically lost games of this sort.

Bottom line: one win down, twelve wins to go (including the bowl game).

Next victim: Penn State (@ND, 9/9 at 3:30 ET)
