I kind of get not benching him at the end
ND had the lead until later in the fourth quarter. Until Leonard threw the interception, it looked like we were going to escape with the win. The next opportunity was with 24 seconds left in the game, so putting a cold QB in that situation was unlikely to work out.
Hindsight is 20/20, but looking back at the flow of the game, there weren’t many obvious opportunities to make a QB change.
