BLUEGOLDONLINE.COM OCT. 12, 2024 29 Moore, in his first start, allowed a touchdown pass to Brooks but more than held his own. He led the Irish in tackles with 7 and stripped Shough in the first quarter, forcing a critical early turnover. "We went to Leonard, and we have a lot of confidence in Leonard," Freeman said. "Leonard played really well." Notre Dame showed off not only its depth in the secondary — with Moore being ready to go after enrolling in June — but its versatility. Heard lost the starting safety job op- posite Watts to sophomore Adon Shuler, but he remained heavily involved in the defense. When the Irish acquired him in the transfer portal, he was advertised as a chess piece whom defensive coordina- tor Al Golden could use to fill any gap on the back end. That move paid off in a game Notre Dame had to win, and they might not have won without it. ✦ LOUISVILLE INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
