Billed as one of the most memorable moments in stadium history for the atmosphere of the first night game, the game exceeded the hype, as Michigan grabbed the win with 2 seconds left when quarterback Denard Robinson hit Roy Roundtree with a 16-yard pass in the end zone to steal the 35-31 win.  Climbing twice -- first from a 17-point hole near end of the third quarter to take the 28-24 lead with 1:12 left in the fourth on a 21-yard screen pass to Vincent Smith, then again after Notre Dame retook the lead with 30 seconds left -- was a nearly impossible task.  But this was a magical night.  The difference, as was in last year's win over Notre Dame with his 502-yard performance and game-winning score, was Robinson.  "No. 16's ability to elude, evade and step up, and throw the ball, that's something we always have going for us," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said about why he believed in the comeback. "I wanted our team to stay composed and poised. We've done 2-minute drill since we came in January, we've probably done 1,000 different scenarios. Those are the most pressure situations you have in a football game. So I was confident we were able to handle that."  After Notre Dame scored with 30 seconds remaining, the Wolverines (2-0) needed to hurry. So Robinson took a chance and saw Jeremy Gallon open on a wheel route, that he ripped off for 64 yards. From there, with 8 seconds remaining, it looked easy.  Robinson was calm in the huddle and sent Roundtree to the right side of the end zone. Roundtree twisted his defender, caught the ball, landed with his foot down in bounds- and drew a pass interference penalty to boot.  Michigan was that kind of charmed on Saturday.  "I just jumped in air and focused on it, made sure my foot was down," Roundtree said. "I was like, 'Man, I just caught the winning touchdown.'"  Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges tells Robinson to "make plays, not miracles" but, through much of his own doing, Robinson had to opt for the latter.  Robinson's wild night of four touchdown passes was marked by many big plays -- passes of 77 and 43 yards to set up touchdowns, plus the Gallon 64-yarder -- and nearly as many disastrous ones, throwing three interceptions to nearly even the scales.  His final numbers were crazy (338 passing yards on only 11 completions, 108 rushing yards on 16 rushes) and it simply reflected the roller-coaster game.  After all, Notre Dame had dominated the first half, outgaining U-M, 268-90, and having 15 first downs to the Wolverines' three.  Yet Michigan only trailed 17-7 at the break, providing hope.  Notre Dame, which saw receiver Michael Floyd's 13-catch, 159-yard night go to waste, pushed the lead to 24-7 with 2:13 left in the third quarter, but the Wolverines refused to fold.  The Wolverines closed back within 10 points 6 seconds into the fourth quarter, when the drive that started with Robinson's 77-yarder to Junior Hemingway, ended with Robinson rushing for a 1-yard score after tailback Stephen Hopkins' fumble on the 1 bounced into Robinson's hands.  Michigan's first drive of the night longer than four plays lasted five and ended with a Robinson touchdown pass to Jeremy Gallon, cutting Notre Dame's lead to 24-21 with 10:47 remaining in the game and setting up the furious final minutes.  "I'm as optimistic as anybody in the world, I think that way and feel that way," Hoke said. "I believe in these kids and believe in Michigan."
