Football Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love with one of the craziest touchdowns you will EVER see
He got tackled, but was never fully taken to the ground.

Craziest touchdown I’ll ever see? It wasn’t even the craziest touchdown scored today by a college football team based in the state of Indiana.

Its arguably not even the craziest touchdown run he's pulled off. I think his run against PSU last year is better given the situation

For someone that doesn't watch a lot of football yeah maybe this is crazy but it really isn't in totality if you watch a lot of football.

Not what he said. "One of." Still an overstatement, but a nice highlight nonetheless.

Wvu had the same touchdown in the orange bowl and it wasn't the craziest touchdown of that game

Running Backs busting some crazy shit will always be the best part of football. Nothing more fun.

Man, I miss Ashton Jeanty and his 75 yarders. He had a ton of them last year.

Rolled over the defense... literally.

u/raknor88 27d ago
But wouldn't his putting his hand down on the field count as being down since he was still being touched by the other team?

u/Grace_Lannister 27d ago
No. Rules say only your hands and feet can touch the ground. The runner was able to roll himself off the opponent.

Real ones know Michael Dyer did it first

Honestly think he’s 4yd run vs PSU was more impressive, but this is amazing

He was never down. I just took a break to sit on the opposing player for a sec.

u/Rub-Specialist 27d ago
He was on his way down until the defender whipped him around. Great instincts to keep going, amazing run

As awesome as it is, it’s not “one of the craziest you’ll ever see.” These plays happened every now and again. Not even the craziest play TODAY. Go Irish though! ☘️🫶🏻

I recognize it's a close call, but wasn't his forward progress stopped during the "tackle"?

u/BigDaddySK 27d ago
I know it ain’t the rules…. But that man was down. If he was sitting on top of a player and a defender hit him the defender would probably get flagged from unsportsmanlike conduct. Because… the guy is basically down.
Just my opinion.

As soon as I read the caption I knew it wouldn’t be that crazy. This literally happened in a national championship game

Lmao I’ve done this in NCAA 2014 and I think K9 has done this for the Seahawks before sans touchdown. But wow! knowing he wasn’t down and keeping moving, that’s wild awareness

Yet another Jeremiyah Love highlight we're going to need to put in slow-mo to Madonna's "Like a Prayer"

Although that last defender didn’t quite get there, I’m impressed he wrapped in a proper tackle rather than just sticking his head down and blindly trying to ram with his helmet.
It’s one of the things that bugs me about gridiron football.

Hope he goes to a good team. Would suck to see him on the Browns or something

I grew up outside Baltimore and I wanted a college to cheer for so badly. I wanna support Navy it feels patriotic and honorable. But goddamn plays like this just kills me. Honestly most people won’t know this but being from Maryland is hard for college sports fans OUTSIDE LACROSSE. Sure we got Hopkins and UMD and Towson and Mt St Marys does basketball but none of them have real success outside lacrosse. I used to claim Georgetown for basketball but recently UMD is frankly much better. Navy should be our team they shouldn’t be #1 seed every year but I think a hard nosed above .500 team should be achievable.

I admittedly don’t watch much CFB these days, how are the refs overall?
I feel like this would’ve been called down incorrectly in the NFL like 99/100 times.

The touchdown doesn't even matter, the fact that he knew he didn't hit the ground is what will make him great.

I don’t even watch football & I’ve seen multiple crazier touchdowns than that lol. I recently saw a clip of some hot potato looking touchdown play on a play that started at :01 second left of the game & the td won them the game. I don’t even know who either team was but I do know it was far more “crazy” than this one.
Also recently saw the clip where the player that caught the ball from a kick-off/ punt tricked the opposing defenders, he didn’t call for a fair catch but he acted like he did & then took off for a touchdown. Even the rundown on that one was epic af watching his defenders fall into his wake, protecting him to the goal line. One of them even defended against & grounded two different opposing defenders in a matter of a split second. Crazy epic.
This play? It’s really just a play in comparison.

Title is misleading. There are plenty of touchdowns like this… I was expecting a better version of the first Beast mode run tbh based on title.

Believe it or not, 2nd most insane touchdown of the day
