Notre Dame Week 5 highlight: Riley Leonard airs it out

Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard hits a big touchdown pass against Louisville.

Shortly after the Notre Dame Fighting Irish recovered a huge fumble against the Louisville Cardinals, Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard found a wide-open Jaden Greathouse for a 34-yard touchdown pass.

This capped a 4-play, 53-yard touchdown drive that also featured a 16-yard run from Irish running back Jadarian Price. The drive took 2:05 off the clock.

The score gave the Fighting Irish a 14-7 lead with 4:59 remaining in the first quarter.

Notre Dame needed a fast start after struggling early in every game except the blowout over Purdue, and so far the Irish have achieved that.
