Notre Dame football ratings and snap counts vs the Louisville Cardinals

Quarterbacks

Riley Leonard has looked like the quartrback the Fighting Irish thought they were getting when he transferred in his last two games. He's not putting up eye popping numbers, but he's looked more solid, is hitting better passes and is still a weapon on the ground.

Yesterday, he completed 17-of-23 passes for 163 yards and 2 TDs, he also carried the ball 13 times for 52 yards and another TD.

Running backs

None of the Irish running backs had a great game on Saturday. Leonard was the leading rusher. Though Jeremiyah Love was effective running and catching the ball. He had just 32 yards rushing but he also had 5 catches for 27 yards and a touchdown.

Wide receivers

Much like the running backs, the wide receivers' numbers are especially odd for a game in which the offense scored 31 points. None of the team's pass catchers had a particularly good game. Jaden Greathouse was the only one who could qualify for that, logging 4 catches for 61 yards and a touchdown.

Tight Ends

Notre Dame football's tight ends also didn't have much of an impact, with Mitchell Evans putting up the most numbers, catching 3 passes for 14 yards.

Offensive linemen

The Notre Dame football team had six offensive linemen play against Louisville as Sullivan Absher came in for a few plays on Saturday.
