The Irish were very sloppy on offense, as their first three drives were all five plays or less, as they saw the Redhawks take a 3-0 lead. Notre Dame would answer as they found the end zone on their four series as quarterback Riley Leonard ran it in from 8-yards out.

Riley Leonard accounted for 297 yards total offense and three touchdowns as No. 17 Notre Dame shook off a sluggish offensive start to beat Miami (Ohio) 28-3 on Saturday.

Notre Dame pulled away to beat the RedHawks 28-3, but there were plenty of issues to clean up — including with Leonard's passing.
