Actually, that post was supposed to be in the another thread.

Okay, fair enough.

I do think Notre Dame has some good players. I don't think they have the depth needed or played a team with a good enough offensive line to compete with Alabama. Talent helps but it isn't everything.

How ND's backups on the DL do will be interesting to be sure. They don't have to dominate (I do think the ND DL starters have to dominate when they're in for ND to have a chance, but not the backups), but they have to hold their own. They can't get destroyed.

I really think their schedule is going to be a negative for them going into the game. They've played a bunch of teams that are either overrated and bad or overated and average. Stanford is a good team, but they're similar to Alabama without the Alabama talent. Alabama has played against comparable defenses this year.

I would agree, but I think ND's is better than you think. But, again, we've already had a huge discussion on this in another thread, so we'll just avoid rehashing the same arguments.
