Will Riley Leonard SHINE in Notre Dame debut at Texas A&M? | Fighting Irish at Aggies Preview

welcome to your Notre Dame Texas A&M preview presented by prize piics we got to talk about a very important transfer one of the biggest transfers in the country this year one of the guys that will have the biggest impact on his new team who is playing in this game and of course we speak of oh you thought I was gonna say Riley Leonard no nick scorton nick scorton left Brian Texas you know basically sister city to College Station kind of as a tweener coming out of high school went to Purdue grew into one of the best pass rushers in the country last year he led the Big 10 in Sachs with 10 Mike Elko gets the job at Texas A&M one of the first things he does is bring in Nick scorton who has entered the transfer portal and who is ready to come home so Nick scorton comes home to Agy land where he will combine with defensive tackle Shamar Turner who had six sacks last year from the inside Bowling Green transfer cashes Hal who had 9.5 sacks at Bowling Green last year for a ferocious pass rush and this is the part where we get to Riley Leonard who Mike Elco the new Texas A&M coach knows very well because Mike Elco coached Riley Leonard at Duke last year and now Riley Leonard is Notre Dame's starting quarterback so remember I said this one's presented by prize picks the prize picks Riley Leonard Square for this game is 194. passing yards what that means is prize picks being the greatest daily Fantasy game in America you pick two squares or more and the more squares you pick the higher the potential payout so for riy Leonard if you think he's going to throw for more than 194. five yards you say more than if you think he be less you say less than and a lot of that will depend on how good that Texas A&M pass rush is and how good Notre Dame's offensive line is remember a starting a a fairly inexperienced offensive line Joe alt and Blake fiser they two great tackles from last year moved on to the NFL Charles Jaga was supposed to replace alt at left tackle he got hurt in the preseason he's out for the year so they're trying to figure out what their best five is against a group that hasn't played together yet but has been very successful in the past how that line holds up and how Riley Leonard interacts with his new receivers and there there's quite a bit of new at Notre Dame in terms of guys coming in also guys getting healthy who may have not made as big a contribution last year as they could have that's gonna determine how this game goes because we haven't seen a fully healthy Riley Leonard since the Duke not Notre Dame game last year when he injured his ankle he tried to play on it it was very tough but a fully healthy Riley Leonard can run he can keep plays alive and he can get the ball down field now last year Sam Hartman at Notre Dame again because of injuries and and a lot of other factors didn't have a lot of targets to throw to Riley Leonard will have more one is a healthy Mitchell Evans the tight end could be Notre Dame's best pass catcher but he's definitely the most reliable right now his priz pick Square for this game is 27.5 that feels like a more than that feels like Riley Leonard and Mitchell Evans probably will have a good relationship Mitchell Evans probably will feel like a safe Target for Riley Leonard and Mitchell Evans is good at getting open that seems like one you could get more than fairly easily but the biggest question is who else who stretches the field Chris Mitchell the Florida International transfer who had 1100 receiving yards last year for the Panthers that's the one if he can take off if he can become a reliable Target who allows Notre Dame to stretch defenses allows them to to run the ball into lighter boxes that's going to be hugely helpful Chris Mitchell Square in this game is 36 and a half if he's a more than you may have a shot at a Notre Dame Victory here Jaden greous another receiver who has showed promise but was hurt a lot of last year he's healthy his square is 36 a half we don't know yet who Riley Leonard's going to love throwing to but if these guys can put up some numbers in College Station they're gonna be able to put up numbers against just about anyone so keep an eye on that matchup between the Notre Dame offensive line and the Texas defensive line can they keep Riley Leonard's jersey clean can they give him time if they can you may have a more than Riley Leonard and a really good chance at a Notre Dame win now if you're not entirely confident in all of your squares well prize picks is offered you a free one Jaylen milro the Alabama quarterback against Western Kentucky if he throws for one yard you win that square so if you want a nice safe high confidence pick grab Jaylen milro and then you decide what do you want to do with Riley Leonard are you more than Notre Dame's offensive line holds up gives him time to throw or less than Texas A&M's new pass rushers start eating we're going to find out on Saturday night at Kyle Field thank you so much
