Notre Dame backup quarterback Steve Angeli now has as many touchdowns this season as starter Riley Leonard has interceptions.

Okay, okay, we’re not advocating a QB change, and context is important. Leonard was better in the passing game, using his legs for three touchdowns, and Angeli is playing in garbage time in a blowout against Purdue. We’re just having a little fun with numbers as Angeli and the Fighting Irish continue to score points in a comeback game after a devastating home loss to Northern Illinois.

This time, Angeli capped a 7-play, 52-yard drive that took 3:43 off the clock with a touchdown toss to tight end Kevin Bauman. The play opened the fourth quarter.
