Tinker Town: "The TV networks college football experts talked after the BCS Notre Dame vs Alabama football game. With smile's that couldn't hide their lying eyed. As Notre Dame was not ready to take on the ability of this Alabama Crimson Tide college football team, in this years BCS Championship college football game, Miami. Fl.
Only now after the game, am I hearing the TV talking heads say that Alabama skilled football player, were simply to good against the fighting Irish. Over and over again Notre Dame could not tackle, or keep the Bama receivers from scoring touchdowns. From the moment the BCS crystal ball game started, until the very end. Alabama 42 Notre Dame 14. The BCS TV college football game between Notre Dame vs Alabama was not close at all."

MIAMI -- The coach no longer wears houndstooth. The result is the same. Another Alabama dynasty.
No. 4 for Saban
Nick Saban won his fourth national championship, tied for second most
all-time since 1936. Saban still trails Bear Bryant, who won six
national titles.
| Coach | Seasons |
|---|---|
| Bear Bryant | 6 ('61, '64, '65, '73, '78, '79) |
| Nick Saban | 4 ('03, '09, '11, '12) |
| Frank Leahy | 4 ('43, '46, '47, '49) |
| John McKay | 4 ('62, '67, '72, '74) |
The Bear would've been especially proud of this one -- Nick Saban and the Tide romping to the second-biggest rout of the BCS era that began in 1999.
Lacy, the game's offensive MVP, ran for one touchdown and caught a pass for another in the final minute of the opening half, spinning away from the vaunted Notre Dame defense not once, but twice, to cap a 28-0 blitz before the bands even got on the field.
Lacy finished with 140 yards on 20 carries, coming up with two of his best performances in the two biggest games of the year. He rushed for a career-high 181 yards in a thrilling victory over Georgia in the SEC title game, and was nearly as dominant against the Irish. McCarron wasn't too shabby, either, completing 20 of 28 passes for four touchdowns and 264 yards, adding another dazzling effort on top of his MVP in last year's title game.
You could almost hear television sets around the country flipping to other channels, a hugely anticipated matchup between two of the nation's most storied programs reduced to nothing more than the second straight BCS blowout for the Crimson Tide.
"We've had a lot of really great football players who've worked really hard," Saban said. "Because we've had a great team, we've been able to have a significant amount of success." Read more...http://scores.espn.go.
