Keep it in your pants everyone.


That was tremendous.
But, also, watch Abdul Carter (#11). Just insane athleticism. He's behind Love getting blocked by Wagner at the start of the clip, manages to shed that, hurdles one of his teammates legs and then gets himself positioned in front of Love before the goalline. Then he goes to punch the ball out and kind of whiffs on the tackle, flying over the top of Love and onto the ground. Had he just lowered his shoulder and hit Love squarely, he probably stops him short. But of course he can't do that because he's playing with one arm.

Obviously the "greatest ND plays ever" is a tough comparison given the long history, but in the much shorter history of ND plays I can remember, I'm not sure I've had two more visceral reactions to a play than JLove planting an IU defender into ND stadium's turf and to JLove hurdling a tackle and fighting off four more PSU defenders to get into the endzone. A short list of most memorable for me:

- JLove fighting PSU for the go-ahead TD, Greathouse's ankle-breaking tying TD, Christian Gray stealing the win in regulation
- Christian Gray redemption pick-6 to put ND in the playoff
- Kyren opening drive TD against Clemson in 2020 and reversing field for a 91-yard, 4th quarter TD against UNC
- Stanford 2012 goal line stand
- Golson to Koyack 2014 game winner
- Kizer to Fuller to save the Virginia game
- Zibby TD return against USC
- Quinn to Smardzija to beat UCLA
- Joey Getherall reverse to beat Air Force in OT

And last but not least, one of the most euphoric moments of my life:

- Elijah Shumate #RememberTheSix
Missing a few Golden Tate moments in recent memory

You can’t see it in this video, but Greathouse had turned his back on Love and was walking back to the huddle thinking he was tackled short.

Too late.

For me this has got to be the greatest run in ND history. Better than the unconscious TD by Brooks, better than the NC run by Williams (Credit the blockers down the field for helping big with that one). This one was in a huge game and was the difference between us likely winning and losing, and it was just pure heart from a guy that was already dinged up.

Step 1- Have a shirt made with the final stretch for a TD on it.
Step 2- Get it signed by Jeremiyah Love.
Step 3- Put it in a display case, hang it in my basement, and tell everyone that steps foot in my basement the story of Jeremiyah Love’s famous TD til the end of time.
i think someone already put this on a shirt. came up on my social feed a couple days ago but can't remember who was selling it.

Make sure you record your voice saying the story, just in case you are gone and someone comes in the basement. Make sure it starts based on movement.

Good Lord you are right. If he didn't have that arm immobilized, he might have won that battle

Yeah on his second effort he had to run all the way around JL so he could attempt to punch the ball out and whiffs the n falls over because he can’t follow up with his damaged arm.

All great plays... none in the semifinals. That's what makes it so great.
It'll only be succeeded by the run he has to give MFMF a statue on Monday.

It was a tough run. It was an example of what makes this team ….this team. Hardly the greatest run. Ever though.

I don't know...watching it in slow mo as you see all the shots he's taking during that run...he's got two guys basically wrapping him up at the end and it looks like he's going down (How he didn't is amazing by itself), and then he launches forward to cross the goal line. All that while nursing a bum knee. It's pretty damn special. The other runs I mentioned, the unconscious Brooks TD and the Williams NC run, were both great but weren't in a tight playoff game against a superior defense.

It's the best 2 yard run inside the 5 you will probably ever see

This is the type of play you have to make at the elite level. These are plays that elite teams do. I love everything about this play and it occurred at a time that it wa needed and we had to have it and Love made it happen. All great things… no one argues that at all.

It was absolutely special and what I know this team is capable of producing when a play is needed. This play, among others is why I’m confident this team can line up against OSU and beat them on Monday.
