Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love made history in the first game of the College Football Playoff, with a 98-yard touchdown run, tying the longest in school history. Love’s run came right after Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke threw an interception, setting the tone for a dominant 27-17 victory for the Irish. The win advanced Notre Dame to the quarterfinals where they will face No. 2 Georgia on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl. Love’s run also set a new College Football Playoff record, surpassing the previous longest run of 85 yards by Ezekiel Elliott in 2015. Indiana’s game against Notre Dame was marked by turnovers and big plays, including a crucial interception by Xavier Watts before Love’s historic run. With over 1,000 yards rushing for the season, Love’s performance was a key factor in Notre Dame’s success in the playoff opener. Despite Indiana’s efforts, Notre Dame’s strong defensive performance and explosive plays on offense secured their spot in the next round of the playoff. The stage is set for an exciting matchup between Notre Dame and Georgia as they vie for a spot in the playoff semifinals.
