Overview
- Love’s latest showcase included 147 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 37-15 win over Pitt, extending his momentum into the final stretch.
- He ranks third nationally in rushing yards per game, total touchdowns, and scrimmage yards, and he has recorded 98- and 94-yard touchdown runs across the past two seasons.
- Notre Dame is 8-2 with an eight-game winning streak and holds the No. 9 CFP ranking, with Syracuse and a trip to Stanford likely to shape its playoff case.
- Coach Marcus Freeman praised Love as a rare playmaker and highlighted his growth as a receiver and blocker, while noting his impactful pairing with Jadarian Price that has supported quarterback CJ Carr.
- Love says this year’s bond is stronger than last season’s group and keeps team goals front of mind, even as betting odds still favor quarterbacks Fernando Mendoza and Julian Sayin before the Dec. 13 Heisman ceremony.
