We’re approaching halftime in the third game of the season, and Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard still doesn’t have a touchdown pass through the air.
He may not need one if he keeps running the ball into the end zone.
He ran for his second touchdown of the game on a 34-yard keeper on second and 10 with 8:24 to play in the second quarter. That capped off a 7-play, 68-yard drive that took 3:16 off the clock.
It appeared, briefly, that Leonard may have stepped out of bounds after getting the first down, but replay review upheld the call on the field. Watching on the broadcast, it appears the review made the correct call.
THERE GOES THAT MAN
3️⃣4️⃣ YARD RUSHING TOUCHDOWN FOR @rileyleonard13_
