After struggling in an inconsistent first half, Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard has picked up his game. He has scored a key insurance touchdown for the Fighting Irish with 5:39 left to go in the game.
The 50-yard-scamper on fourth-down-and-1 has put the Notre Dame Fighting Irish up 28-3 over the Miami of Ohio Redhawks in South Bend.
Leonard’s in-game evolution may gave the Irish confidence going forward. Not only did he continue to do damage with his legs, but his passing game improved.
The sprint from midfield should be enough for the Irish to put the game away, earning fans a sigh of relief after a sloppy, slow start.
