Notre Dame quarterback has yet another rushing touchdown. He still, however, has not thrown one via the air.
This one, which capped a 10-play, 87-yard drive that took 4:59 off of the clock, came on an 8-yard scamper. The Mitch Jeter extra point put the Irish up 7-3 over the Miami of Ohio Redhawks.
The Notre Dame offense had looked disjointed at home against the Redhawks — the second time in two weeks that the Fighting Irish were struggling to move the ball against a Mid-American Conference team.
This drive, however, looked more smooth, thanks to some easy passes and runs from Leonard, Jeremiyah Love, and Jadarain Price. Penalties on the Redhawks’ defense also helped the Irish get into scoring position.
