Notre Dame dominates Indiana In College Football Playoff opener to set up Sugar Bowl matchup vs. Georgia

Indiana was no match for Notre Dame.

The No. 7 Fighting Irish cruised to a 27-17 win over the No. 10 Hoosiers in the inaugural game of the 12-team College Football Playoff on Friday night. The game was effectively over when Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love tied a school record and set a College Football Playoff record when he ran 98 yards for a TD in the first quarter.

Of course, none of us watching knew at the time that Love had ended the game.
