Leonard was a threat on the ground, but Notre Dame held him to just six carries and just a few designed runs. “What I challenged them to be, I wanted it to be unrecognizable,” Freeman said.

Leonard has completed 232 of 349 passes (66.5%) for 2,383 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions, while also adding 149 rushes for 831 yards and 15 touchdowns for Notre Dame this season.

And he’s 8-5 as a starter in those games. None of this is necessarily a bad thing. Leonard also arrives at Notre Dame with perhaps more raw ability than the quarterbacks who preceded him.
