Riley Leonard, No. 6 Notre Dame Thrill CFB Fans in Win vs. Undefeated No. 19 Army

Army is undefeated no more.

The sensational 2024 season for the Black Knights hit a road bump on Saturday when No. 6 Notre Dame cruised to a 49-14 victory over them at Yankee Stadium.

It was set to be a test for the Fighting Irish and they passed it with flying colors. The offense produced 462 total yards while limiting the Black Knights to just 233.

Army isn't a pass-heavy team to begin with, but Notre Dame completely took the air out of the game by limiting quarterback Bryson Daily to just 26 yards on 4-of-8 passing.

Notre Dame was led by a spirited effort from running back Jeremiyah Love, who had seven carries for 130 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while adding a receiving touchdown as well.

Jadarian Price also added two touchdowns in the backfield and Jordan Faison and Aneyas Williams each had a touchdown.

Quarterback Riley Leonard had a very efficient day, going 10-of-13 for 148 yards and two touchdowns while also adding eight carries for 30 yards.

Fans took to social media to praise Leonard and the Fighting Irish and praise the team's case to make the College Football Playoff.

A loss to Northern Illinois earlier in the season is the only thing hurting Notre Dame's candidacy, but the rest of the resume should make that only a bump in the road.

The Fighting Irish have outscored opponents 429-121 this season and have only allowed more than 20 points once on the season. It enters the final week of the regular season with a 10-1 record and a win over USC next week should make a strong argument for the team to be awarded a home playoff game.
