QB Leonard goes for two touchdowns as No. 12 Notre Dame relies on strong defense to defeat Georgia Tech 31-13

By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA (AP) — Riley Leonard boosted No. 12 Notre Dame's playoff hopes by rushing for two touchdowns and the Fighting Irish's defense was dominant after a slow start in a 31-13 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday .

Jeremiyah Love added a TD run and defensive back Adon Shuler had a 36-yard interception return for Notre Dame (6-1). The Fighting Irish held Georgia Tech (5-3) to 64 rushing yards.

Leonard ran for 51 yards and Notre Dame extended its winning streak to five games. Leonard completed 20 of 29 passes for 203 yards with one interception in the game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. He recovered a first-quarter interception to help the Yellow Jackets take a 7-0 lead.

“It's very easy to get greedy and want to make the explosive play, but over my career I've learned that the only way I win games is to take what the defense gives me,” Leonard said. “…Calm down, trust your eyes, trust your coaching and you will get the job done. And we managed to do that pretty well.”

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said Leonard “came back with the right attitude” after giving up the interception to cornerback Warren Burrell midway through the first quarter.

“He is confident. … Because of his preparation, he is a confident person. And you know, he did a great job leading the offense after that interception.”

With Haynes King sidelined with a shoulder injury, quarterback Zach Pyron had a strong performance early in his first start for Georgia Tech since his freshman season in 2022.

Pyron completed his first nine passes, including six completions on a touchdown drive. Jamal Haynes' 1-yard scoring run as time expired in the first quarter gave the Yellow Jackets a 7-0 lead. Notre Dame led 31-7 before Pyron scored a 7-yard touchdown pass to Chase Lane with 33 seconds left.

Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said Pyron's effort was “courageous.”

“The guy is tough,” Key said. “We have to be able to stand by his side, complement him and help him.”

Led by Leonard, the Fighting Irish were in control in the second quarter with nine plays of 10 or more yards. Leonard's first scoring run from 1st capped a 14-play drive. He added another TD run from 12th, giving the seniors 10 rushing totals on the season.

Special teams issues

Georgia Tech thwarted a 39-yard field goal attempt with 11 seconds left in the half when David Shanahan dropped the snap. Late in the third quarter, Notre Dame's Bryce Young blocked a 35-yard attempt by Aidan Birr.

“Special teams hasn’t lived up to expectations for three weeks,” Key said.

Leading 21-7, the Fighting Irish faked a punt and Love gained 27 yards to set up Zac Yoakam's 42-yard field goal, the first of his career. Yoakam filled in for Mitch Jeter, who missed the game with a hip injury.

The takeaway food

Notre Dame: The defense played the starring role, even after giving up Pyron's 60-yard pass to Abdul Janneh at the Notre Dame 16 late in the third quarter. A third-down sack of Pyron by Rylie Mills set up Young's blocked field goal. Safety Xavier Watts added an interception in the fourth quarter, his third of the season.

Georgia Tech: Pyron couldn't maintain the momentum of his strong first quarter, throwing two interceptions and a scoring pass. He completed 20 of 36 passes for 269 yards.

Impact on the survey

Notre Dame could move into the top 25 after an impressive road win over the Yellow Jackets, who have won back-to-back Atlantic Coast Conference wins over Duke and North Carolina.
