UPDATE, 2:50 p.m.: Cappa was moved to right guard in the 4th quarter, where he received praise from sports analysts.
Cappa’s ends his college football career with a win, as the South team defeated the North team 45-16.
I think Alex Cappa has found a home inside. Stoned Justin Jones on that play, which is not easy to do.
