Roll Tide! No. 1 Alabama beats Notre Dame 31-14 in Rose Bowl

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — A truly untraditional Rose Bowl setting, a very common result for Alabama in the College Football Playoff. Notre Dame, in football’s final four for only the second time, has lost seven consecutive New Year’s Six games since 2000. I thought we did some of the things that we wanted to today but we simply didn’t make enough plays.” Notre Dame lost 30-3 to Clemson in the CFP semifinal Cotton Bowl two years ago at AT&T Stadium. It was the first time the Irish had played Alabama since the Tide beat them 42-14 in the BCS national championship game eight seasons ago. Alabama: The outcome wasn’t unexpected with the Tide a three-TD favorite, but the 31 points were its fewest since losing to Clemson 41-16 in the CFP title game two years ago — a span of 25 games.
