Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, whose knee had been in question, made a remarkable 98-yard touchdown run against Indiana, marking the first and longest touchdown in the history of the 12-team College Football Playoff. The touchdown came with 10:57 remaining in the first quarter, putting the Fighting Irish ahead 7-0. Love's run tied a school record and was notable against an Indiana defense that had been allowing only 70 rushing yards per game.
