After that, Karpov defeated Muzychuk in a long and eventful ending to make it to the final. First it was a knight vs. bishop ending, then a fascinating pawn ending, and then a queen ending Karpov pulled out after...

    It was a close, but in the end #25 Notre Dame triumphed in this friendly rivalry game, scoring the last touchdown and (finally) making a defensive stop at the end to win their seventh game of the year.
