Notre Dame's head coach and quarterback recap awful fourth quarter interception vs. Northern Illinois
Despite a remarkably slow start and frustrating afternoon, Notre Dame led Northern Illinois 14-13 with 6:07 to play and faced a second-and-1 a yard shy of midfield.Riley Leonard, who hasn't thrown the ball well downfield in two games as Notre Dame's quarterback, was given a playball to try and beat Northern Illinois with a deep pass. Instead of finding paydirt though, it found the hands of Huskies defensive back Amariyun Knighten who returned it to the 50-yard line.
Yeah, we wanted to take a shot on that situation. Obviously, not the execution that we wanted. Obviously, we never intend to throw an interception, but that's the look we wanted. That's where we wanted the ball to go. We've just got to throw a better ball. Everybody's going to try to point a finger at somebody, some side of the ball, one play, one person. It's the entire program that underachieved today, and the entire program has to own it and improve from it.
Leonard didn't offer as detailed of response after the game. He was instead more short and to the point.If Mike Denbrock and Marcus Freeman had a do-over, I'm guessing they'd choose a different play call just shy of midfield as well.
