However, Love was slow to get up after a third down carry, tweaking his knee. After working out on the sideline and on the exercise bike, Love informed the Notre Dame training staff that he would be unable to go the rest of the afternoon according to Jenny Dell on the CBS telecast.

We will continue to monitor the situation.

Notre Dame leads USC 35-21 with 11:52 left to play at the time of posting.
