Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback Riley Leonard has set a record against the Indiana Hoosiers during the first round of the College Football Playoff.

Leonard set the record for rushing touchdowns in a season by a Notre Dame quarterback with 15. He passes Brandon Wimbush, who set the previous mark in 2017.

Leonard’s 1-yard run capped off a 9-play, 78-yard drive that took 5:44 off the clock.

While the run was nice, it was a deep toss from Leonard to Jordan Faison for 44 yards that set the Irish up in the red zone.

The drive came after a baffling decision from Indiana to punt, and the touchdown made the score 27-3 in favor of the Irish.
