Who picked RL from the portal, knowing he can't throw? Who threw the ball way too much today with a QB who can't throw instead of running it? Who threw the ball on 2nd and 1? Freeman and/or Denbrock. And Freeman hired Denbrock.

Why is it a smart QB can’t see this? Oh because he was only going one place.

God he is terrible.

2nd and 1 and the underneath check down was wide open for an easy conversion. He‘d been doing that all day & then decided to go deep?!?

Oof....I gave up at the start of the 4th and went out and cleaned up my boat. That was bad....if I'm price or love I'm wondering wtf I'm doing out there with this shit happening on 2nd and 1 with 6 minutes left. Guess taking time off the clock is too hard of a thing to try

O line played fine. Leonard’s pocket presence and movement suck.
That’s what I saw and I hope I am right.
The only hope to hold onto with the offense is that the o-line is good, young and going to be great next year.

If Freeman and Denbrock are serious about winning, this is exactly what they'll do.

I have no faith this will happen. Riley is his QB he went and got plus the NIL stuff and Freeman doesn’t have the balls.

I think Freeman is serious about winning. I don't think he knows what it takes to win because he's learning on the job. And not quickly.
I can't imagine it's an easy decision considering they put a ton of eggs in one basket. Maybe they don't yank him today, but maybe they start with a package for one of the others and ease into it that way? I don't know. All I know is that if Leonard is the quarterback for much longer will be looking at a mid-December bowl situation.

It only gets harder from here. Every team will stack box. Enjoy watching the safeties crash the edges. RL is a hindrance.
Like Love's game winning run against A&M. Friendly reminder that ND won that one despite Leonard, not because of him. Any one of the other 3 scholarship QBs could have handed off to Love and Price on those two TD drives.

8 quarters, 2 INTs, 0 TDs.

I don’t even care about a bowl game. You are talking about recruiting. They don’t want to play for a team that’s gonna get embarrassed. We keep bitching about the wr’s but our starting QB can’t give them a chance.

The player management is awful. 90% of the offensive plays should have Love or Price on the field. Not Ford and nothing against him Williams. Both Love and Price can be the guy when they touch the ball. In two games love has 28 touches. He could go anywhere and get more than that. So now your experience may likely transfer out in today’s world.

I'm not watching this guy play QB again. Let me know when he's benched and I'll start watching this crappy team again.

In person the line looked like trash along with Leonard. Some of it was Leonard running into pressure.

Playoffs aren't happening with Leonard so let's build for the future and go minchey or Carr.

But we won't because we want to pretend Deuce is a possibility and that apparently scares him away if Carr does good. Or so says some on this board.

I’ll be honest, my excitement just isn’t there. Can someone talk me into him?
Were this true, I’m plenty excited but I fail to see that type of accuracy. I think he’s definitely more elusive than Book so the read options with Love and co should be fun.

Glad to say i was among the first on the RL skeptic train. Now go prove me wrong RL!

That 2nd INT was high school stuff. I see why Denbrock can't call anything over 10 yards because there is 0 confidence in this guy to make the throw.

I don't know who I would take: Andrew Hendrix, Tyler Buchner, Riley Leonard.
Easily Buchner.....I've seen him look amazing at times and throw for 300 yards in college.
