Irish must contain QB Robinson
By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame will have to buckle down on defense this weekend. Gap assignments, containment and sure tackling will all be essential when the Irish face Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson. Irish defensive back Darrin Walls says Robinson is just like another running back and reminds him of Pat White, the former West Virginia quarterback who ran the spread so well when Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was coach. Robinson took over the starter's role and set Michigan records for total offense (383) and rushing yards (197) by a quarterback in a 30-10 win over Connecticut last week. He threw it around, too, with 19 completions on 22 attempts for another 186 yards.
