Michigan State football traveled down to Notre Dame to take on the No. 3 Fighting Irish on Saturday, September 19. The Spartans did not come out on top, but they did earn a respectable grade in a 27-10 loss. Nolan Gerou was on hand for Spartan Shadows on the field, and he captured the magic from one of the cathedrals to college football, Notre Dame Stadium.
