Not sure what the score may be, but I think that it will be close going into the 4th quarter, where Alabama will then pull away and win by 10. I think that Notre Dame is a good team, but I don't think that they have the manpower to go 4 quarters toe-to-toe with Alabama like LSU, or UGA can. If it comes down to a slugfest, I like Alabama's chances. I also think that the weather may play a little into it as well. While I understand that Notre Dame has been working indoors with heaters on to simulate the humidity and expected 70 degree temperature, I think that it will be a factor by the 4th quarter. I remember how Mich. St. was absolutely drained in the Capital One Bowl in 2010 by halftime. It was 65-70 degrees that day with maybe 60% humidity. They had been working indoors with heaters as well.
