Well certainly it's way too early to say, but as I've thought about this game I've come to one conclusion. The game will hinge on turnovers. Specifically, Alabama's turnovers. If Alabama does not turn the ball over, Notre Dame has no chance to win this game. If they can force turnovers, or if Alabama makes mistakes, then it will be a toss up and likely will come down to the very end like the LSU, A&M, and Georgia games. And if Notre Dame turns the ball over... it could get ugly.
I think we're going to see a hard fought, tough game. I'd love for it to be 41-14, but Notre Dame is here for a reason. At this point, I'd say something like 27-17 with Alabama tacking on a late score to put it away.
