Notre Dame right back in it

The Knights drove 70 yards for a touchdown on the opening drive of the half. For long-time Notre Dame observers it was a typically efficient drive in which the Knights mixed runs and throws to keep Canyon off balance.

To make matters worse for Canyon, Notre Dame just stopped the Cowboys at their 44-yard line on a fake punt. Notre Dame has to go less that 50 yards to tie it up

It brings up a couple key point. This game goes beyond the actual playing field. This is a matchup of two of the best coaches in the region. Canyon's Harry Welch and Notre Dame's Kevin Rooney are as good as it gets, and the game-with-in the game is the fascinating battle of wits between the two legends.

Rooney made some obvious adjustments at halftime, resulting in the touchdown drive to draw to 17-10.

Now it's Harry's turn.

Stay tuned.
