Never gets old.

For how many times Ive watched this run, Its crazy that I never noticed until now that he starts this run off with a hurdle.

 

[greyhammer90]

It's very easy to be hyperbolic but it's legitimately the best sub-5 yard run I've ever seen in my life.

 

[IrishLion]

Kyren had an uncanny ability to wiggle for an extra 2-4 yards anywhere on the field, on almost any run.

Love has that same ability inside the 10 yard line specifically, and it’s dialed up x20.

Several of his touchdowns last year besides this one were clinics on how to use body positioning, momentum, and even gravity to contort his body and the football to exactly where they needed to be to get the ball over the goal line.

If “Nose for the Endzone” were personified

 

[Irish8248]

Please stay healthy!!! Mostly bc he deserves it but also because I'm incredibly selfish and just want to watch him play football forever.

Does that sound creepy? Probably. Do I care? Not a fucking chance.

❤️

Watching it in slo-mo gives you a new perspective on how incredibly hard that run was.

 

[KPENN]

Seider saw that and said “I’m in”

 

[ulukinatme]

I think the best part of that video is seeing all the opposing fans being unbiased and admitting it's the best run they've seen in college football all time.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I'm sure it happens more than I realize but also notice nearly every offensive lineman is on the ground during that run. So it's JLove vs the entire defense, or so it seems.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

With that 40” vertical he should be excellent at hurdling defenders!

This is a post that aged about as well as possible.

Like...half the defense. At least one of the lineman had pancaked his dude, so one less guy for Love to contend with. Looks like one or two of the linemen went to the 2nd level to hit linebackers too, but maybe didn't get there in time.

[EDIT] Going back and watching the clip again from a better angle, every lineman hit somebody, for the most part they did their jobs. Carter came back to the play after the initial handoff. Greathouse could have held his block a bit longer. PSU was coming downhill fast, other than Carter who was super athletic to get back to the play, most of the guys hitting love weren't Penn State linemen, looks like DBs.

That run is even more unhinged when you see it in slow motion.

 

[Fbolt]

IMHO, it was Jagusah's push that propelled him into the end zone

Watched this a couple of times and then sent it to my son.

He responds saying "we should really re-watch that entire game this weekend". Proud moment as a dad.

Does anyone know where I can find the full game?

YouTube is probably your best bet

What push I am so confused by this

At the beginning of the run, Jags was on the ground and attempted to give Love a push toward the goal line. He pretty much whiffed, though.

I thought he was trying to lay a shot on A Carter’s bad shoulder.

Heisman Trophy Sleepers: 6 Dark Horse Contenders (2025 College Football)

Jackson's sleepers to win the 2025 College Football Heisman Trophy. His top dark horse candidates for the Heisman Trophy with predictions and analysis.

www.rotoballer.com

DraftKings Heisman Odds: +6000
2024 Season Stats: 1,125 rushing yards (6.9 YPC), 17 rushing touchdowns, 28 receptions, 237 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns

Jeremiyah Love is largely viewed as one of the best running backs returning to college football, but because it's difficult for any non-QBs to take home the Heisman, he qualifies as a "dark horse." Over the last two seasons, the Irish have relied on veteran quarterbacks Sam Hartman and Riley Leonard to lead their offense.

Now, redshirt freshman CJ Carr is taking over the reins. What's the best tactic for helping break in a young quarterback? Leaning on an elite running back.



Leonard accounted for 906 rushing yards and 17 rushing scores last season. He's now onto the NFL, there is a significant chunk of rushing production up for grabs. Sure, backup running back Jadarian Price will take on some of that workload, but offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock is sure to feed Love a whopping share of the team's total touches as long as he stays healthy.

The rising junior is likely headed for the NFL this time next year, so don't be surprised if the Irish capitalize on every last touch they can get out of him.

Saw on X he has a grill now. 15-0.

Pause on your summer plans so you can save up for natty tickets maybe.

I've been trying to think of who he runs like, because his running style is defintely fairly unusual. I was recently watching some highlights of Gale Sayers and it's the best comp I've run into.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Don't see it. Sayers had a unique running style for a wildly successful back. He often had an extremely wide stance and made violent direction-changing cuts off his heels. I don't have Love (in my memory) running that way. In fact I'd rather he not, as a firm heel plant is asking for a knee injury.

Reminds me of another Chicago rb more

 

[Irishdwarte]

Matt Suhey?

 

[Valpodoc85]

I hope he is injury free and making high light reels

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

The closest two in my mind are Alvin Kamara and a little Chris Johnson.

You have to choose RB(s) with excellent acceleration, those two certainly fit.

Alot more power than those two, I'd go Bijan Robinson or even a little CJ Spiller.
