Sunday Hangover: Notre Dame

 A number of pundits described the semifinal game as "boring" or "unsurprising," but I enjoyed it. 

Despite the garbage-time touchdown late in the game, which predictably made Alabama not cover the spread, the Crimson Tide dominated the Fighting Irish. 

Devonta Smith showed why he was voted AP Player of the Year with an outstanding performance. Mac played well. And Najee Harris had a highlight-reel run in which he hurdled a tackler that overshadows the fundamental running he did throughout the game. 

On January 11 the Crimson Tide will take on Ohio State for the national championship. If the team that showed up against Clemson plays that day, it'll be a difficult game.
