Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson looks to pass as centner Braxston Cave, right, blocks during the first half against Purdue in South Bend, Ind. All too often last week the Irish offensive line struggled against Purdue, allowing four sacks and rushing for just 53 yards. The linemen are looking for redemption against No. 10 Michigan State's tough defensive line on Saturday.

Notre Dame center Braxston Cave snapped the ball on a third-and-6 play early in the game against Purdue, put a quick hit on defensive tackle Kawann Short then stepped to the right — allowing Short to race up the middle and sack Irish quarterback Everett Golson for a 9-yard loss. "That was all on me," Cave said. "I just slid the wrong way."
