The 16thranked University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish earned a hardfought 3124 victory against No. 15 Louisville in a marquee matchup in front of a soldout Notre Dame Stadium Saturday afternoon. 

The Irish earned the ninth ranked victory in the Marcus Freeman era by taking an early 217 lead, forcing three turnovers and holding off a late charge from the Cardinals. Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard threw for 163 yards and two touchdowns, added another touchdown on the ground while also leading the team with 52 rushing yards. Leonard’s touchdowns went to Jaden Greathouse and Jeremiyah Love. 

Freshman cornerback Leonard Moore, making his first career start, led the team with seven tackles and senior safety Xavier Watts picked off his second pass of the season and broke up Louisville’s final pass of the evening on a desperation fourthdown throw.
