Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard fought through an injury scare and a very forgettable first half to lead the Fighting Irish past Penn State in the Orange Bowl. It was a champion effort from a veteran who has had his hands on the wheel during a remarkable run to the national championship game. The Duke transfer is not often mentioned when discussing college football's elite quarterbacks but his track record and knack for winning speak much louder than any of those conversations.
Leonard does have one very prominent scouting report in his corner, though, as Fox Sports' Colin Cowherd fired up quite a comparison on X Thursday night as Notre Dame was making play after play in the fourth quarter.
