The best play of the game was the TACKLE on the opening kick off. That set the tempo to how this game was going to be played.

It was close. Then the game started. Just like we said.

DeVonta drug 2 feet on that TD at the pylon just to show off for the NFL scouts.

I think it’s bout time we give Harris a hurdle compilation

You wanna know who won? Just watch the opening kickoff

The score really wasn’t a good representation of how this game went. Notre Dame was getting bullied the whole game but it looks like it was close if you just see the score.

Anybody saw that fan’s sign “Rudy was offsides” 😆😆

Listen very closely during the Harris Hurdle, “oh my goodness” under his breath

It’s amazing how Alabama comes out like absolute robots for most postseason games under Saban. Even their special teams coverage plays at an elite level from the opening kickoff

Najee Harris probably had the best hurdle over another defender that ive ever seen 😱💯💪

I wanna talk about Mac Jones. At the start of the season I really wasn't to excited about him being the starter under center. I thought he'd be another game manager type quarterback who would rely heavily on the run game while throwing short passes and taking of the football. He has really surprised me a lot this year with the way he's played. He been amazing and I know he's going to have a great career as a NFL quarterback.

Just another regular season game for bama

We all know "Bama eased off in the second half. The score could have easily been 56-14.

i knew we lost from the kickoff 😭

The first tackle of the game foreshadowed the entire game 😭

The best part of Notre Dame playing on New Years is I always get the best hang over naps while they embarras themselves.

As a Notre dame fan the only song that went through my mind was frank Sinatra’s send in the clowns

Devonte smith the best player I ever seen with my own two eyes he literally can do whatever he want

Let's be honest, this is just about what we expected when we first saw this matchup😂😂

4:40 “that’s a knuckleball” 😂

What's tough is that ND didn't play badly in this one. They actually have gotten better, personnel wise. Everywhere. But with a truly lethal college-game weapon like Smith on the outside and Harris on the inside, it makes life very hard. Opens things for everyone else too. Jones is not remarkable. He's good and with all the time in the world to throw it to receivers running 5-10 and more yards wide open, that's waaaay more than enough.

Can we just stop gifting Notre Dame a playoff berth?

Nobody going to talk about that opening hit? Wow!

Gg from ND fan you deserve it

That kickoff set the tone ..ND was playing scary

Hoping the Dolphins can get Smith with the Texans pick. Straight up baller

as a buckeye fan i love how everyone is talking about devonta smiths 3 tds but ruckert had 3 tds to and we beat a harder team by a lot more so..... i think we have a close championship game on our hands

Alabama v Ohio 🥂 Happy New Year

The rose bowl can't be anywhere except the rose bowl cmon

I know everybody knows this. But Alabama is just different

Gets better every time I watch

Congrats to ND on a great season and making the playoffs. You played a much better team. Keep fighting. Hopefully next season is a bit more promising for all of us. I'm hoping Ohio State will get on track and get a full schedule going. Anyway God bless. Always keep Him first place in your life. Jeremiah 29:11

If the Fighting Garbage want to be taken seriously, take on a SEC schedule or at the least play Alabama on the first game of the season.

Najee Harris and Devonta smith and Mac Jones had a amazing game and more

people here saying notre dame is trash dont realize. that if they made that field goal they missed before half time. and converted on a 4th down inside the red zone late. they wouldve been only 7 down with the ball after that onside kick. game was MUCH closer than you would think. this is coming from an alabama fan btw

This is a great Alabama team. No weaknesses.

Devonta Smith is just so smooth

Two teams that should NEVER be in the playoffs again: Oklahoma and Notre Dame.

On Smiths touchdown at 6:30 espn cut to commercial afterward and had a really sick music track in the BG. Anybody able to help me find it?

Here are a few positive notes: 1. lowest point scoring game of the season for Bama 2. 2nd lowest Total Yards for Bama in the season 3. Tied for 3rd lowest first downs for Bama

The hurdle was the best part

Even Florida gators scored more than ND and yet I'm not surprised by the outcome either

ND speed, always looks like Slow motion when they face the elite teams

As a ND fan I am at least happy that we matched up well up front Kelly has made a big improvement there. Next season will be interesting because we’ve got 2 really talented QB’s in Drew Pyne and Tyler Buchner battling it out, both a very accurate passers with quick releases and running ability. Pyne is undersized at 5’11 while Buchner is 6’2. Buchner also has the stronger arm. Either way it should be an improvement over Ian Book in terms of throwing ability and big play potential. The WR room should be much improved we will be much more talented and have legit speed. Lawrence Keys III has speed and Braden Lenzy has legit elite speed. We will also have talented receivers such as Kevin Austin coming back and hopefully Jordan Johnson. Joe Wilkins will be thrown in the mix too. Overall the WR corps has the potential to be explosive. We have the potential to have both Tremble and Mayer back at Tight End which will be a scary duo. There shouldn’t be a shortage of guys to throw to. In the running back room we are still loaded we will have all 3 RB’s back Williams and Tyree will be a scary 1-2 punch with Tyree also bringing elite speed. The Oline will reload as always with possibly Banks, Patterson and Lugg returning, with Correll also have some games under his belt, not mention the talent they had underneath the starting 5 and the excellent class of Offensive Line recruits they are bringing in. They should be just fine up front. Defensively there are still pieces there, Hamilton will be back, and there will be most of the secondary back. They should improve from this year as a unit. At LB we will be losing Koromoah but I’m excited to see Jack Kiser, Bo Bauer, Jack Lamb, Marist Liufau, and Shayne Simon play this should still be a very good LB corps possibly even better than this year. We still will have Foskey and Ademilola on the edge with some new guys getting some action will be interesting to watch. Interior Dline will be a mystery we’re losing Hinish and Tagovailoa-Amosa, but will have Jayson Ademilola and Rylie Mills back. Should be interesting to see who surprises us. Special teams wise it should be better with Doerer gone along with his inconsistent kicking. We’re bringing in the #1 kicker in the country in Josh Bryan and we will have punter Jay Bramblett returning so it should also be an improved group. ND has the potential to be explosive next season and have an even better team than this years squad I’m looking forward to the future which is something I haven’t felt yet as an ND fan

All those "anti Notre Dame" comments are looking a bit ridiculous after Alabama just SLAUGHTERED Ohio State by 4 touchdowns lol.

They bent/over backwards, to get Notre Dame in this game. N, they got the same results. Blowout !!! Didn't Clemson prove Notre Dame, isn't a contender last week ?

Welcome to the Nick Saben show, with guest stars Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith, and Najee Harris!

Yes Alabama has other weapons. But covering Smith one on one is not an option

Another over-hyped, undeserving Notre Dame team getting humiliated, disemboweled, and devoured by the dynasty to end all dynasties: The University of Alabama Crimson Tide. Only the 2012 season National Championship game was even better than this one. I'll never forget good ol' Notre Dame-loving Brent Musberger saying (when Alabama was leading 35-0) "If it was a heavyweight boxing match, you'd call it off." I'm still laughing at that one...

Welp, its the annual Alabama invitational football tournament lol.. Its like Notre dame, thought they had a chance lol... silly silly

This game was good ND always have my respect

lmao @ 1:07 guy is just standing there with is hand up and moving it around and she finally gives him a high five.

I guess we don't get to see a third Notre Dame vs Clemson match this season

Sure can tell Bama took their foot off the accelerator once they had their lead. This could have been a lot higher scoring if they wanted

There will be a movies made about the Alabama run with Saban

As soon as the ncaa said the rose bowl would be moved to texas because the rise in numbers in SoCal they took the charm out of the bowl. They wanted to have fans and texas is really the best place to have that

1:42 Dunk contest vertical jump

Please Please no more Notre Dame in the playoffs, give us a new team to get blown out a few times.

Daaammm Naghi with the 30 inch vertical ..jump over a whole human being...definatly playing on Sundays.

Alabama is King of New Tear's Day.

Sorry folks this is Not the Rose Bowl it’s just the NCAA making money

Yall remeber dat 2013 BCS NATIONAL when alabama played Notre Dame😭😭😭😭

2 greatest programs ever.

Alabama is the best College in the country, and that my college Alabama and they have a good Coach and I am proud of the crimson Tide.

Real shame Texas A&M didn’t play in this game

This was 2012 all over again 🤣

Big irish fan here....the comments hurt....but it is what it is. we aren't one of the big boys it seems....its not easy sometimes being an irish fan but hey i have to stick with my team.......hey haters gona hate and im use to it....that being said conrgrates bama fans for making it ti the natty and good luck!

Thank You Notre Dame for Claypool,-Us Steelers Fans

Brian Kelly still not good enough, what excuse do you have this year? Over rated AGAIN. Sick of the media boost ND gets every year. Fraud.

If these clowns aren’t undefeated, don’t put them in the playoffs. Simple.

A lot of heisman winners have that "Heisman Moment" and i think if Najee would've scored on that hurdle run he would've been top 3 in the final voting.

That third TD for Smith was for the NFL scouts

there’s something different about the rose bowl i just can’t put my finger on it...🤔🤔🤔🤔

...maybe ND should play Mississippi State.

it was a whole lot closer than I thought it would be

Devante Smith is da beast assassin, that boy good

Clemson got whooped more by OSU than Notre Dame did by Bama.

at the end bama didn’t even try lol

Much respect to Najee Harris and D. Smith, but Mac Jones is a beast. He was killin em.

The Rose Bowl Game outside of the Rose Bowl, what a weird year 2020 was due to C19.

Running back leaps like god and goes for 50+ run yards was the only part I watched this video.

The real question is, why ND are in the playoffs they always get blowout lmao 😂

Smith gone get that trophy

#22 really pulled off that hurdle

Alabama: Real Madrid! Notre Dame: Manchester United!

ND is a joke. They had no business being in this game.

Wanna take a min and congratulate bamas place kicking game it was soild as a rock this year bama has struggled in that department

Notre dame. The ultimate big game choking team in all of college football

So, the game ends and the Bama guys just start walking toward the podium like it’s just another day at the office. Nothing but the Natty matters. Roll Tide!

How many times do these bums have to be absolutely spanked for people to realize they do not belong in the playoffs?

For anyone who likes this kinda stuff, that scoreboard is nice

At 9:14 #2 lets the onside kick pass right by, does he know that he doesn’t have to wait for it to go 10 yds before he can touch the ball? Only the kicking team has to wait for it to go 10 yards

Lol called it, but then again everyone did. Notre Dame lays an egg right on queue 😂

Notre Dame couldn’t hang with us!!!!! GOO BAMA GO!! 🌊🌊🐘🔥🏈🏈 ROLL TIDEEE!!! 🏈

I love the smak down

Anyone that plays football knows that you have to set the mood, and that’s just what Bama did. Hit hard and get em scared.

How was it that Notre Dame made it to the playoffs?

Wow. That was a barn burner. Now I see why committee picked ND. On top of their awful play, Saban quits in 3rd qtr. Lol. Didn't even feel like playoff game. Horrible. Fans deserve more.

Smith is NFL ready. Hopefully whomever draft him, help him put on some muscle and maybe 15 pounds. This kid is gonna be amazing

The Rust Belt Big 3 (OSU, UM, Notre Dame) taking another beating
