If Jeremiyah Love wasn't already the best running back in Notre Dame football history, then he has the chance to become in against Stanford. The junior running back has a chance to break not one, not two, but four single-season program records on Saturday, and mind you, this is after a slow start to the season.
Even with a bit of a slow start to the season, Love has certainly turned on the jets the rest of the way and is helping the Fighting Irish to hopefully another College Football Playoff appearance. After losing in the National Championship last season, the Irish are ready for some redemption, Love more than anyone else.
Four single-season records are on the line for Love against Stanford, and while that seems like a lot, what he needs certainly isn't out of reach. Granted, if the Fighting Irish make it to the College Football Playoff, he could break the records then, too, but to do it in the regular season would be even more special.
Jeremiyah Love is one big performance away from serious Notre Dame football history

☘️ Two rushing touchdowns
☘️ One total touchdown
☘️ 132 rushing yards
☘️ 103 yards from scrimmage
To become Notre Dame's all-time single-season leader in those four stats. He's on track for the best RB season in program history. https://t.co/uXYcy0vddl pic.twitter.com/hj9QYE5t8k
Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love certainly will go down as one of the best, if not the best running back in Fighting Irish football history whether he breaks these records or not. Breaking the single-season program records would be yet another cherry on top of Love's fantastic career for the Irish.
Love has the chance to break the single-season records for rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns, and yards from scrimmage. To pass the rushing yards record, Love needs just 132 more yards, which would break Vagas Ferguson's record set all the way back in 1979. With two more rushing touchdowns, he would break Audric Estimé's record, which was only set back in 2023. One more touchdown in general will break Jerome Bettis' record. Finally, 103 scrimmage yards will break Golden Tate's 2009 record.
Some of those records could take quite some time to break, especially the rushing yards record, as that one has stood for 46 years already. To break any of these records will make Love's career even more impressive, but imagine if he surprised everyone and chose to stick around for one more season at Notre Dame instead of going to the NFL.
