I give more credit to the LSU offensive line than Hill.


Hill is special, though. We don't have another back with his combination of size, speed, and agility. He's the man.

AU finally wins a Natty & think they can trash talk for years. Then, Bama wins the next two Titles.

I think Bama will 'Steam-Roll" them the first drive.7-0.Notre Dame may stiffen and the game may settle into a pace.But I think Bama's first possession Lacey and Yeldon run wild.

Wasnt the same said before the a&m game.


And the A&M game was down to the wire.... You really think that ND's offense is as good as A&M's?

This game will NOT BE CLOSE. Pitt's oline pushed ND's front seven around. Period.

No, it didn't. Graham had a 55-yard run on a play early in the game on a breakdown and missed tackle. Besides that, Pitt ran 32 times for 89 yards, or 2.8 yards a carry.

Then why did drunken Pat Dye cry like a bitch at midfield before his last game?

Bama was a really beat up team by the time the AU game came around in 2010. They were healthy by the Michigan St. game.


How Bama lost 3 games that year, ill never know. That Bama team was a top 5 talented team, EVER. Two first rd rbs, beast first rd wr, first rd de , the entire 2011 Bama def, senior qb whom had already won a NC.

When y'all win the last 4 out of 5 games by landslides then hollar at your boy hurrr. We own the record. ;)

Right now Auburn would be lucky to beat a division 1a team ... tough to call a team that struggles to beat 2A teams the "daddy" of the best team in the country.

ND will stuff the Bama run early in the game. This game will come down to Mccaron making plays.


No. No they will not. Shitty olines have pubes around ND's def front.

Take a look at some of the rushing defenses ND played against, though:


Look at the pass defenses they faced and you can see why their pass game sucked too.

2. Michigan
9. Michigan State
13. BYU
24. Pittsburgh
26. Oklahoma
36. Navy
50. Purdue
68. USC
71. Boston College
83. Stanford
100. Wake Forest
101. Miami

ND also played the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 8. How many other teams in the country played three top-10 rushing defenses? How convenient to leave out for your argument.

Yea,that's probably Saban's most talented team he's had at Bama.They had some nagging injuries and went into a few games not all on the same page.Lots of high draft picks on that team.And they knew it.jmho

Texas A&M for one.

The SEC West teams (that aren't LSU or Alabama) that played Florida. That's probably it, besides ND.

ETA: So I think A&M and ND are the only teams in the country to do so. I'm not going through every schedule, but no conference besides the SEC has more than one in the top-10 (two independents, one Pac 12, one ACC, one Big East, one Big Twelve, one Big Ten, three SEC).

And Michigan, too (Bama, ND, Mich St). There's three.

ND is 115th in Punt Returns and 83rd in KO Returns. Not good news for them.

ND has a better running attack than LSU, Georgia, and Michigan.


Notre Dame
Riddick 180 Car 880 Yds 5 TDs
Wood 110 Car 740 Yds 4 TDs
1620 Yards 9 Tds on 290 Carries

UGA
Gurley 199 Car 1260 Yds 16 TDs
Marshall 109 Car 723 Yds 8 TDs
1983 Yds 24 TDs on 308 Carries

Notre Dame won't rush for shite when Gurley had trouble pounding the rock on Bama
