So does tonight's Alabama-ND game meet the pre-game hype

  • I think it will be a battle.

    SEC teams that have a month to get healthy for the NC game typically click on all cylinders. I like that in regards to Bama. I think Alabama will also be able to run the football, ND just can't give up big plays which has been its recipe all year regardless. If a guy like Amari Cooper has a big night or Yeldon breaks a couple long ones, could be tough.

    For ND, you have to like that Golson has improved all season and Coach Kelly and the staff got another month to work with him leading up to this game. His style of play has given the Tide some problems this year. We'll see what kind of plays he can make tonight.

    Steve: I'm nervous. This is the kind of Championship game that could bite 'Bama's ass. I don't want that to happen; but there is air of Irish tradition & luck that finds its way around in scenarios such as these. Man, it's my hope that tomorrow I look back & feel like an idiot for texting this.

  • If ND cannot jump out to an early lead in think they are in trouble. Taking our run game out of it completely by having a good lead is a lot easier than trying to stop it. The first quarter is key for them.

    Lebron James is easily the best basketball player in the league currently...

    I think ND will be ready to play tonight but any talk of Alabama being flat, I just can't wrap my head around. Not that you said that, just seen it around the twitterverse and on TV.

    When you say early lead, even if ND jumps out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, Bama can still be methodical in coming back. Example A, the Seahawks yesterday.

  • I wouldn't say that his style of play has given bama problems. I'd say manziel gave bama fits, even that was only in first quarter. But he torched us in the first.

  • ND must score TD's instead of settling for FG's.
