Well done.

we just did not show up. I dont know if it was the time off, or Kellys lack of preparation. Just completely laid an egg tonight.

I think it has more to do with Alabama just being better... a lot better.

Teo doesn't look like he wants to be on the field. When your leader lays down, so does your team.

This.

yep. What a shitty score to wake up too.

Yep, they're a maybe slightly above average team that managed to sneak by some other average teams in order to go undefeated and then get exposed by a really good one. They deserve kudos for going undefeated, that's damn hard to do, but this game is basically a higher-profile version of Northern Illinois running into Florida State.

10/10 Alabama wins 41-14

He played better in every game this season. I have no idea what happened to him. Absolutely no fire. He might be drunk. Whole team might be. embarrassing...

The gap in athleticism was incredible.

Then Kelly tried to air it out against a team he had no business trying to air it out against and Te'o shit the bed.

ND needed to keep the ball on the ground, keep the game close and grind to victory. It's what they had done all season and suddenly Golson is chucking deep balls.

Kelly !@#$ed up, Te'o didn't show up and Alabama simply had better athletes and better prep.

I don't believe this final score was demonstrative of the true gap between these teams, but there's no question that Alabama absolutely took it to ND tonight.

It's pretty disappointing.

C'mon Hard Core...

This is our #1 pick.

At the Mike linebacker position.

Speed, tackling, etc. This is the guy that's going to turn this franchise around.

This game has nothing to do with ND showing up or not. I think they showed up for the first few drives. They were just inferior. Far inferior. This is a BCS problem. ND did not deserve to be in the title game and it showed.

I said earlier in the year Saban is a better coach than Snyder and was flames for it. Is there any doubt now?

I've never seen such piss poor tackling. ND has never seen anything like the speed and athleticism of Alabama and it showed. I went to bed early. Lamest National Championship game in a looooong time.

I saw a suplex on the ND running back, a forearm shiver by Lacey on a ND linebacker that sent him to the ground and Te'o get washed out on the goal line and said "night night."
