In the Orange Bowl’s final matchup, the unbeaten run of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish persisted against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Yet, their hard-earned victory was marred by an injury to their key quarterback, Riley Leonard, causing him to leave the game earlier than expected. However, the specifics regarding the 22-year-old’s injury during the Notre Dame versus Penn State game remain undisclosed.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding Leonard’s latest injury.
What happened to Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard?
In the game where their team emerged victorious with a score of 24-27 against Penn State, Riley Leonard got hit with a concussion that made him step off the field prior to the end of the first half, as he was playing the role of Notre Dame’s quarterback.
During a 10-0 deficit against the Lions, the Irish were trying to catch up. In this effort, their quarterback, Riley Leonard of Notre Dame, made a determined push forward. Unfortunately, defensive tackle Dvon J-Thomas intercepted this advance, delivering a strong tackle that brought Leonard tumbling to the ground. As he fell, Leonard unintentionally hurt his head.
After the ex-Duke Blue Devils player headed towards the medical station for a thorough check-up, Coach Marcus Freeman temporarily replaced him with Steve Angeli. Eventually, Steve kicked a field goal that earned their team the initial score.
Even though Riley Leonard appeared to be injured during the first half, he was seen preparing for the game after halftime. Remarkably, the Notre Dame QB re-entered the field in the third quarter. ESPN’s Molly McGrath later disclosed that the team had thoroughly examined Leonard for a concussion. However, the tests did not indicate any danger to him.
According to The Sporting News, Freeman offered a further report on Leonard’s status, expressing relief that he’s well and able to play today. He also mentioned that Leonard should remain fit for the next game as well, suggesting that Leonard may participate in Notre Dame’s forthcoming matches.
