Perhaps the biggest difference between Notre Dame and Alabama in their 2020 College Football Playoff matchup in the Rose Bowl was the talent difference at wide receiver. The Crimson Tide had Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith running wild with another 1st round talent, Jaylen Waddle, injured on the sideline. The Fighting Irish didn’t have nearly the same firepower. It was the same story in 2018 when Clemson’s ridiculous wide receiving corps tore up a temporarily depleted Irish secondary in the Cotton Bowl. In 2021, Notre Dame football’s wide receiving room will have more game-breaking talent but will be woefully short on experience.
