Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love has dealt with a variety of ailments over the last few weeks, yet has continued to chug along as one of the best running backs in college football. It began with a knee injury suffered in the regular season finale against USC out in Los Angeles that prevented him from finishing the game against the Trojans and has since escalated with him dealing with flu-like symptoms in the week leading up to and during the first round of the College Football Playoff matchup against Indiana in South Bend.

Notre Dame and Georgia are set to face off in the 91st annual Sugar Bowl, the first time it's been a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game as well.

If Georgia playing Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl has a classic ring to it, it should. Fighting Irish linebacker Jack Kiser and Bulldogs tight end Oscar Delp know all about the first time their storied programs met in the Superdome at the end of the 1980 season — some two decades before they were born.
