Richard Leonard picked off two passes in Saturday's 34-20 win against Alabama-Birmingham, taking one to the house and running the other back 46 yards to set up a field goal. Between those plays, he led the fourth and 2 stop in the third quarter, not the play you usually see a cornerback make in short yardage.
That's why Leonard, along with Air Force's Weston Steelhammer (what an awsome name), is the College Football Performance Award's National Defensive Back of the Week and the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week.
