It's always fun when Notre Dame's quarterback is in the Heisman race.
I did not imagine typing this after Week 2 of the college football season, however, it appears Notre Dame has a Heisman contender on its hands.
Sunday, the Fighting Irish were pegged at No. 8 in the AP Poll, a four-spot jump, and now its quarterback Riley Leonard has been officially named to the Heisman race. What a bye week already and its only Monday! Since the loss to Northern Illinois, we have seen a change in Riley Leonard. It may have taken time, but the Notre Dame signal caller has continued to progress in offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock's scheme and it shows.
Allowing the game to come to him and being more patient in the pocket has allowed his receivers to get open down the field and, conversely, has allowed Leonard to run the ball more efficiently now that the opposing defense has to worry more about him beating them over the top.
