HALFTIME: UVa leads Notre Dame 14-12

It's been a tale of two quarters in Charlottesville so far.

Notre Dame came out hot and walked the ball down the throats of the Cavalier defense. A trick field goal by Notre Dame put the Irish up 6-0, but they failed to convert the 2-point attempt. Two more field goals in the first quarter, and things looked bleak as Notre Dame ended the first 15 minutes with a twelve-point lead.

But then came Papa Johns. Johnnsy Football. Matty Nice.

Matt Johns capped off a strong Cavalier drive that spanned the first and second quarters with a touchdown to Evan #ButtsTuff Butts.
