completely undaunted by this challenge but you'd like to have an El leader oh of course no I I I think that's what he brings to the table but with the inexperienced up front very talented inexperienced offensive line Jaden Harrison goes in motion Riley flips it in the flat and that is love who can't get away play clock at three low snap through the timing off he gets it underneath the Jaden great housee Leonard looks that way throws it into traffic catch made and then the immediate he calls here on Third and medium Leonard trying to escape excellent Scrambler can he get there yes he can slides down Leonard from the pocket looping throw miscommunication great at the first time they'd love to get it closer and they get it in the flat there Bo Collins the Clemson transfer gets near the marker before trust T's down there with a with a helmet listening to the plays well the play was quarterback keeper as Leonard rolls to his right i' just say throw that helmet on in his third third down of this game pressure he spins free and Leonard short arms the ball head Kennedy is stacked right here and again see how they have a a defense lineman here they have one out here one out here that puts a lot of pressure on the offensive line to figure out which guys are coming besides those three so you're kind of guessing and waiting to see who comes who showing who's dropping nobody again picks up the pressure Kennedy comes free how about the effort by Riley Leonard somehow I like it rare please Riley pulls it try to get it in the which is what he's trying to bring crowd really noisy on second and 10 they bring pressure late it's picked up and the pitch is made to the perimeter and that's a nice by you as a transfer portal as a guy can go vertical look out to the right you think he's going deep NOP puts the brakes on balls out early and away to the outside perfectly thrown their fastest receiver LED Conference USA in receiving yards a year ago Leonard again climbs the pocket and flips it short Jaden Thomas makes the catch and he what can he do as a passer how about this working through progressions watch his head left step up eyes down field finds his man well done and left tackles The Freshman Freeman Rush takes off quickly that time that ran right into he didn't like the is growing up he likes him fine now and he's helped guys around him improve with his intensity and Leonard right now on third and 13 flushed tries to create on the Run SS a tuck it and he's pushed out hugely important right is it's a run all the way Leonard gets around the edge he gets a couple of blocks and that Convoy second and 16 underneath screen and trying to work free as Bo Collins is a nice jot Leonard looking to the end zone looping throw for great house and it's two tight ends in a receiver bunched right love motions out to the left wiard's looking that way Loops to the end zone and running back and they feel so good about they match him up against safeties here he tries to go up field and the experienced quarterback he's trying to push him away play clun at five Leonard scrambling tries to create on the Move fires into traffic in the field after the play it's Nick scorton pass rusher who awkwardly fell over a man as he was trying to pursue Leonard they don't fear that right now they got to make him fear it to get him to back up big emphasis for Notre Dame to create those downfield play that's a quick strike to F on Corner a transfer from Alabama beaten around the Edge there and now from the pocket Leonard Zips it Inon 15 Deon Forge the back around the end they give it to Harrison and he's going to be tracked down after tce back in the game they fake it to him Leonard batted down to the line of scrimmage that was Leonard in the flat for no R there man he is fun to watch watch this defense fly to the ball and be able to try to get off these blocks they see the motion go back they're just going to follow that balls out in a hurry look at these guys flying theyre Dame very tough to be able to pick up those look at the Irish two they have the one timeout 46 seconds to work with near Midfield Leonard checks it down a flag is down that's a loss asess on early Downs to help out Riley Leonard Leonard 11 for 19 hasn't been sacked hasn't thrown a pick and finally finds the tight end Cooper flan and they will and Leonard bulldozes for a first down and more I'll take Leonard about 218 lbs but that was physical now from the pocket steps up and delivers over the one for seven tonight which is about what you'd expect given how long they've had to make here can he scramble and make it Leonard weaving and is slammed down at across in motion keeper again Leonard lowers his head it's close it's going to depend attempted fourth down conversion combined and now Leonard fumbles the snap picks it up show some excellent athletic ability to actually G down this is the this is the fumble in just this previous play you see the Zone re gets to overcome his back who runs over top of him they got four Leonard looping the ball and the catch is made on the sidelines they find line jump so he snapped the ball he didn't jump Leonard flips it again all of a sudden Cooper Flanigan big 25 Leonard goes far side and they get a nice chunk of the yardage final minutes of the third quarter Leonard behind the block Dives forward he is begin to run Leonard long throw to the sidelines almost intercepted what are you going to do you're going to try to pick on these corners without cuts or quick throws tell you what will Lee bait that throw baited him to throw that stepped in front of it ball comes off of Thomas almost is able to take it away from him and he would have walked third down in the final minute of the quarter pressure ball is out and it's incomplete they line him up mainly in the back field that time they had a nice little seam there to K into here's the longest run of the night now Wegman takes off and he'll Scramble for about [Applause] six they protect him well he gets a low throw catch made right at the first down marker by Leonard steps up again delivers down the sidelines it could cost you the game here in the fourth quarter Leonard on the Move gets the ball out great house has a convoy dances around but gets back near the talk more about that in a second the Irish trying to get a long drive going Leonard pinballs his way for about game there in the back field play clock at three Leonard steps up delivers a strike for a first down an enormous conversion to great house tackle who's had his hands full he holds on just long enough against that outside pressure good job of giv Riley Riley Leonard looking to throw on first down again the sidelines a oneon-one match up a battle is won by Bo Collins on the edge as he he had all kinds of time they go back to that one-on-one matchup pretty good coverage by Will Lee how about Bo Collins working back to the football tall strong guy he's used that big frame to catch five balls tonight Leonard has become the leading rusher on the Irish and he scoots for another first down
