Love, Price Power Notre Dame Rushing Attack

Notre Dame’s veteran backfield of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price have willingly split carries and built strong chemistry, producing one of the FBS’s top rushing attacks — they combined for 1,871 yards and 24 TDs last year and recently totaled 231 yards and six TDs vs. Purdue. Love broke out in 2024 with 1,024 rushing yards, 17 TDs, scoring in a school-record 13 straight games and a memorable 98-yard CFP run, and entered 2025 as a preseason All‑American. He has developed highlight hurdling techniques after opponents repeatedly targeted his ankles and says opponents once tried to rip his helmet off, an issue he says has since been addressed. Price drew transfer interest but remained at Notre Dame out of selflessness, has continued to thrive and earned praise from coaches for his reliability. The duo’s trust, film-room communication and complementary strengths are central as Notre Dame looks to right its season heading into key September matchups.
