Riley Leonard went from hero to zero in just two weeks as Notre Dame's starting quarterback, but it's time he began receiving the respect he deserves
We are now five weeks and four games removed from Notre Dame's disastrous loss to Northern Illinois. While that loss is inexcusable, Riley Leonard has unfairly become the scapegoat and target for many Irish fans since then.
With that said, it's time for Notre Dame fans to move past the Northern Illinois game and accept Riley Leonard for who he is: a much better quarterback than many have been willing to acknowledge.So far through his Notre Dame career, Riley Leonard has 14 touchdowns to 3 turnovers.All of his turnovers have come against MAC teams ironically enough.
Moreover, it's important to recognize that Leonard transferred to Notre Dame after undergoing two surgeries for a major ankle injury, missed all of spring practice, and is now navigating his third offensive system in four years as a starter. He also played through an injury during the Northern Illinois game. With this context, his slow start becomes much more understandable.
