Irish Shut Down MAC Attack

Notre Dame stumbled through the first twenty minutes of the game but ultimately took control and ground out a 28-3 victory over Miami of Ohio. Riley Leonard ran for 143 yards and two scores while completing his first touchdown pass of the season. His 38-yard strike to Beaux Collins before halftime was the team’s best pass play of the season. Once again, the Fighting Irish defense shut down the opposition. They allowed only 229 total yards, forced two turnovers, and recorded four sacks. The win moves Notre Dame to 3-1 on the season and 1-1 in the Mid-American Conference.
