Summary

It wasn't pretty. The home crowd booed their top-25 team at times as the No. 17 Fighting Irish squad got off to a sluggish start. But Notre Dame (3-1) got enough done to fend off Miami-OH (0-3), winning 28-3 after trailing early. The game had its highs--QB Riley Leonard threw a 38-yard touchdown pass and added a 50-yard touchdown rush on the ground-- and it had its lows in the form of a muffed punt by WR Jordan Faison. But, the Irish defense was able to force two turnovers and held veteran QB Brett Gabbert to 119 yards on 14/35 passing. After the game, Irish Illustrated's Tim Prister and Tim O'Malley were joined by Irish Illustrated Contributor John Brice of Football Scoop as they reviewed Notre Dame's 28-3 victory over Miami-Ohio and previewed Notre Dame's season-defining game against Louisville.

0:33.1	Well, and it was also the fact that there were a couple of layup throws in there that Riley Leonard just flat out missed.

0:43.7	They were layup type throws.

1:01.2	somebody on the elevator and I got different responses. What happens when I make Riley Leonard
1:05.2	the obvious offensive MVP of this game where Riley Leonard was the offensive issue early in the
1:10.2	game. But when you run for 143 yards and two touchdowns, you throw a touchdown test to Bo Collins.
1:15.2	You don't throw an interception and your early turnover is after a 44-yard gain sprinting over the left side.
