re: Notre Dame's defense/special teams: A detailed look

Notre Dame has a nice D, until Jan. 7. Bama will run the ball at will until ND stacks the box then Cooper will burn the ND defense in man coverage. That combined with Bama's D shutting down the ND rushing game and forcing the ND QB to beat Bama through the air, which with Bama's speed on defense and pass rush, will lead to 2-3 INTs.

Bama 28-10.
