Some games are unforgettable because of what they mean. Others are unforgettable because of how they unfold. For Notre Dame on September 23, 2006, the night in East Lansing delivered both. After a demoralizing blowout loss to Michigan the week prior, the Irish looked flat, frustrated, and finished as they trailed Michigan State by double digits under dark skies and heavier hearts. The Megaphone Trophy looked bound for the Spartans once again. But then came the fourth quarter—when the storm on the field turned into something more: a resurgence of fight, of faith, and of firepower.
