Anticipation of a hard fought BCS title game proved unfounded last night as Alabama rolled right over the Irish of Notre Dame. After the Tide took a 28-0 lead in the first half, it was clear that the luck of the Irish had run out.
Notre Dame’s unbeaten miracle season would end, not in national championship glory, but in the shame and disappointment of a humiliating 42-14 defeat.
Alabama dominated physically, and Notre Dame’s offense could not get the ball moving against Nick Saban’s defense.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame could do nothing to stop Alabama running back Eddie Lacy, who powered up and down the field on his way to a game MVP performance with 140 yds and a touchdown on the ground, averaging 7 yds per carry. Lacy also caught a pass for a touchdown.
In the end, Irish fans were left deflated but hopeful that this year’s return to national title contention after a years-long competitive drought can only mean good things for the team’s future, even though hopes for a title were left unfulfilled for now.
Last night’s win makes it three national championships in four years for Alabama under head coach Nick Saban.
The Tide take home yet another crystal ball BCS trophy, leaving no doubt of who was the best team in college football this season, and leaving one word on everyone’s mind–dynasty.
