Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, but on Saturday evening, he found out that Indiana’s quarterback Fernando Mendoza was the winner of the prestigious award.

The Irish back had the third most votes, only trailing the winner and Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, but was well behind both of them in the total points. Love did get 46 first-place votes, which showed that he impressed more than a few of the voters.

Two of the four finalists won’t be playing in the College Football Playoff, and three of the top-10. It’s unfortunate, as Pavia and Love were clearly two of the best players this fall, but neither will get a chance to play for a championship in what looks to be their final collegiate seasons.

Congratulations to Jeremiyah, for an amazing season, along withg what could be one of the best careers ever for a Notre Dame running back.
