Alabama Football easily handling Notre Dame was no surprise. The difference in team speed was glaring.
Alabama Football versus Notre Dame was a mismatch. No offense is intended to the Fighting Irish. They are a physical, tough and good football team. Toughness and physical play gave Notre Dame no advantage over the Alabama Crimson Tide. The gap between the skill positions of the two teams hurt Notre Dame. What killed the Irish was the Tide’s team speed. Brian Kelly has some fast players but not nearly enough to compete with the Crimson Tide.
