It looks like this one may be over, the headline of the ND Rivals site is saying that this is going ND's way

I should mention that this is coming from IrishEnvy, and GoldHelmet, none of the premium boards.

"I've been waiting my whole high school career for that," said Filer of the third-quarter turnover that gave the Caravan a 21-12 lead. "There was a lot of pressure put on their quarterback (Jason Kafka), and I just ran up and caught it."
