It took much longer than anyone would have liked, but Notre Dame is in the lead against Stanford. Entering the fourth quarter behind by a score, [autotag]Drew Pyne[/autotag] chose to unleash his power at the Cardinal’s 41-yard line. Freshman receiver [autotag]Tobias Merriweather[/autotag] was waiting for the pass in the end zone with a defender on him, and he got the ball first for an unbelievable first career reception:

We don’t know what else Merriweather will accomplish for the Irish. All we know is there are a lot of happy people in West Camas, Washington right now because one of their own just scored a big touchdown in college football’s grandest stadium. As for the rest of the Irish fan base, they aren’t going to complain either, even if this touchdown came during a frustrating game.
