Riley Leonard led No. 16 Notre Dame football to a 31-24 home win over No. 15 Louisville on Saturday afternoon and helped keep the Fighting Irish's College Football Playoff hopes alive in the process.
Notre Dame scored 21 unanswered points in the first quarter after Louisville opened the game on an Isaac Brown 10-yard touchdown reception. The Fighting Irish's scores were courtesy of a Jeremiyah Love six-yard run, a Jaden Greathouse 34-yard reception and a Leonard four-yard run.
The Leonard rush was set up after a bad snap on a Louisville punt led to a fumble that got knocked backward and eventually settled into Kennedy Urlacher's hands inside the 10.
