You’d think that with the No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish having first-and-goal at the Virginia Cavaliers’ 2-yard line, the Irish would choose to have quarterback [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] run it in.
Instead, Leonard pulled the ball away from a handoff and found a wide-open [autotag]Cooper Flanagan[/autotag]. The tight end easily hauled the pass in to finish the 1-play, 2-yard drive
Notre Dame’s offense started slow against Virginia, but it is taking advantage of Cavalier turnovers to get itself going.
The touchdown, for example, came after a Notre Dame interception.
