Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love had fans in awe with a touchdown run featuring a perfectly executed hurdle

Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love must've been watching a good amount of the Paris Olympics the way he launched himself over a Northern Illinois defender en route to the end zone on Saturday.

As the No. 5 Fighting Irish found themselves in an unexpected battle with the Huskies in South Bend, Love helped put Notre Dame back in front, 14-13, in the third quarter with a stellar 34-yard run.

The former Missouri high schooler won the Class 5 state title in the 100-meter and boasts a long-jump of 22-1 ¾ and both of those skills were on display as he burst through the line of scrimmage and took flight.

You rarely see hurdles executed so well in college football — and even more rare is when the ball carrier finishes his run in the end zone.

Love's theatrics couldn't have come at a better time for Notre Dame. For a moment college fans stopped worrying about whether or not the Irish could put away the Huskies and just had to admire Love's effort.
