Notre Dame Week 3 highlight: Steve Angeli, Notre Dame not done yet at Purdue

Steve Angeli has more TD passes in one half that Riley Leonard does in two and a half games.

Notre Dame backup quarterback Steve Angeli now has as many touchdowns on the season as starter Riley Leonard has interceptions.

OK, ok, we’re not advocating for a QB change, and context matters. Leonard was better in the passing game and used his legs for three touchdowns, and Angeli is playing in garbage time in a blowout against Purdue. We’re just having a little fun with numbers as Angeli and the Fighting Irish continue to pour points on in a bounce-back game after the terrible home loss to Northern Illinois.

This time Angeli capped off a 7-play, 52-yard drive that took 3:43 off the clock with a touchdown toss to tight end Kevin Bauman. The play opened the fourth quarter.
