Riley Leonard displays poise, leadership in No. 7 Notre Dame’s 23-13 win over No. 20 Texas A&M

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “I’ve got a lot of confidence in a guy like Riley Leonard,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said. “At the end of the game, put the ball in his hands and he makes good decisions to lead this offense to victory.” Since Leonard missed most of Notre Dame’s offseason work after undergoing two ankle surgeries, he focused on establishing himself as a leader in fall camp. “This was an opportunity for me to prove to my teammates that not only can I lead them off the field, but I can lead them on the field as well when it really matters.” Saturday’s game was a bit odd for Leonard as he faced Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, his coach the last two seasons at Duke. “There’s just like that game within the game,” Leonard said.
