If Love feels good, then the Notre Dame offense can be humming with one of their best players operating at full capacity.

“It’s going to be a game-time decision for me,” Love Said via Sirius XM. “I feel really good with my knee without the brace and it’s just going to be a game time decision. The brace is great, you know, it gives me that extra security, gives me that extra confidence in my knee.

“But I don’t really think I need it in this game because it feels great when I’m training and all that. But you know, it’s going to be a game of many more to come. So really, it’s going to be a game-time decision. And I might end up wearing it just for my safety in general.”

This season, Love has 1,112 yards, 17 touchdowns, 7.1 yards per carry. carry, 26 receptions, 232 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions.

I got a little more confidence in my knee. Felt more comfortable with it … I was like (with obstruction), just do it … When I obstruct somebody, if they catch my leg, if they don’t, they don’t. So it’s a big leap of faith, literally.”
