Alabama Wins BCS National Championship Game, 42-14 Over Notre Dame [VIDEO]
Maybe Notre Dame's schedule wasn't as challenging as Irish fans were willing to admit. Maybe not playing a conference championship game left them with too long of a layoff. Maybe a freshman quarterback just doesn't stand a chance against a Nick Saban coached team unless his last name is Manziel. Whatever the reason was, Notre Dame never stood a chance against the Alabama Crimson Tide, who repeated as champions of the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, 42-14.
