Fourth time is the charm

But the final result was a touchdown by Shane Vereen and a surprising 7-0 lead for Valencia.

Maybe my weird feeling wasn't so weird afterall.

It was a pretty drive, but extremely efficient. The Vikings marched 90 yards on 18 plays by mixing a handful of Vereen runs with some short, crisp pases by Graham Wilbert.

Notre Dame stopped the Vikings on three runs at the 1-yard line, but Valencia finally pused it across the end zone on fourth down.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame QB Shane Horton just coughed the ball up on a fumble, and the Vikings have the ball back.
