Jeremiyah Love tied the Notre Dame record with a 98-yard touchdown run, Riley Leonard added two more scores and the Fighting Irish shut down the highest-scoring team in the College Football Playoff, overwhelming Indiana 27-17 on Friday night.

Notre Dame defeated Indiana, 27-17, in the College Football Playoff opener at Notre Dame Stadium. The Fighting Irish (12-1) advanced to face Georgia in the quarterfinals.

Notre Dame sophomore running back Jeremiyah Love turned on the jets to start the expanded College Football Playoff.

Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti said he had gone for the controversial punt in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Notre Dame because "we were doing nothing on offense."

Ole Miss Head Coach Lane Kiffin sarcastically blasted the College Football Playoff -- just one game in -- after the Rebels failed to clinch a spot in the newly reformed postseason.

Indiana faces the Fighting Irish in the first round of the CFP on Friday, where the two face off for the first time since 1991.
