Notre Dame's defense started Friday night's game against Indiana with a big three-and-out but quickly saw Riley Leonard intercepted despite starting in great field position.

Xavier Watts put an end to Indiana's opening drive by interepting the Hoosiers at the Notre Dame two-yard line, and the Irish were backed up to their own goaline.

Well, at least for one play.

Star running back Jeremiyah Love took the first down handoff 98-yards and in turn, set a College Football Playoff record for the longest play from scrimmage. It also tied the Notre Dame record for longest run in program history.

As you could probably imagine, social media erupted following the dash. Below are some of the best tweets reacting to Love's mad dash.
