Jafar Armstrong scored two rushing touchdowns, Brandon Wimbush passed for another score, and No. 12 Notre Dame held off No. 14 Michigan in the renewal of their rivalry 24-17 on Saturday night in South Bend, Ind.

Wimbush threw for 170 yards and gained a team-high 59 on the ground in the first meeting between the storied programs since 2014. Chris Finke caught three passes for 55 yards and a score in the season opener for both teams.

Ole Miss transfer Shea Patterson passed for 227 yards in his Wolverines debut but also threw an interception and lost a fumble.

Michigan's Karan Higdon gained 72 yards on 21 carries and scored a touchdown. Ambry Thomas scored on a 99-yard kickoff return for the Wolverines, who have lost 17 consecutive road games to ranked opponents.

The Irish led 21-10 at halftime.

Armstrong scored his first career touchdown on a 13-yard run to cap Notre Dame's initial drive. The Irish required just 1:25 to go 75 yards, highlighted by Wimbush's 28-yard pass to Miles Boykin.

Finke made a leaping grab over defensive back Brad Hawkins in the end zone to complete the Irish's next possession. The 43-yard pass from Wimbush finished off a seven-play, 96-yard drive.

Michigan drove inside the Irish 10 early in the second quarter but settled for Quinn Nordin's 28-yard field goal.

A roughing-the-passer penalty on third-and-goal against Michigan helped the Irish score another touchdown late in the half. Armstrong raced in from 4 yards out on the next play to make it 21-3.

Thomas broke a couple of tackles en route to his kickoff return score, giving the Wolverines a boost moments later.

Justin Yoon's 48-yard field goal with 3:07 remaining in the third extended the Irish's lead to 14.

The Wolverines finally scored an offensive touchdown on Higdon's 3-yard run with 2:18 left. The Wolverines' defense then forced a three-and-out, and Michigan regained possession at its own 25 with 1:48 left.

Michigan picked up one first down, but Patterson fumbled after a Jerry Tillery sack, and Te'Von Coney recovered, clinching the Irish's win.
