Jeremiyah Love spent two weeks off battling a knee injury and an illness. So when he ran onto the Notre Dame Stadium turf Friday night, he was playing at less than full strength.

Thirteen times this season, the Irish have played games that counted. Jeremiyah Love has rushed for at least one score every time out for Notre Dame.

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love etched his name into the history books by breaking off a 98-yard touchdown for the first points of the 12-team College Football Playoff. The rush tied for the longest in school history and helped the (7) Fighting Irish strike first against (10) Indiana.
