2021 Rose Bowl, #4 Notre Dame vs #1 Alabama (Highlights)

and it'll be will reichert to kick it off not a lot of touchbacks only eight all year [Applause] they trust their ability to cover kickoffs brian kelly hopes one of the places his team might have an advantage today is in special teams and we're underway the rose bowl and college football playoff semifinal [Applause] tyree speedy and he got blasted and the ball comes up and it's recovered by tommy tremble right now they have multiple tight ends in and alabama's going to try to match that personnel all night they have three tight ends in the game on second down and the handoff to kyren williams outstanding sophomore running back he tries to deliver a stiff arm to job and he goes down at the 27. making just the second start of the season jared patterson out with an ankle injury suffered mid-year book takes off running again and ducks down near the 30 but about seven yards short of the first down naji harris off a tremendous sec title game against florida they faked it to him miller forestall the tight end catch and run as a lot of people thought bryce young the five-star recruit from california was going to win the job and mack jones just refused to give it up i mean he he competed every day he won the job and he has still been a great mentor to bryce he dumps it off to harris and he takes people with him [Applause] so the old billingsley goes in motion he's a tight end but they play him all over terrific athlete they even have him returning kickoffs as a tight end in a terrific offensive line as well but they're without their usual starting center first team all-american landon dickerson [Applause] with the knee injury suffered against florida they blitzed jones he spun away from it and hit forestall for another first down the back up through most of his career they have faith in him he's played a lot of football here's harris up the middle and he powers forward for obama first down and try to give the offense trouble quick throw here is davonte smith goodbye farewell touchdown [Applause] brian kelly said he'll be inclined to go for it on fourth down more frequently than usual knowing they have to stay on the field keep alabama's offense off it they brought some pressure didn't get to book in a nice catch on a low throw by michael mayer the tight end on the jacobs trophy is the best offensive lineman in the acc one of those designed runs for book they get nowhere near the first down christian barmore defensive lineman tripped i think in his own territory with five yards to gain a bit too much dave bramlett the punter is a tuscaloosa alabama native did that might have hit somebody in crimson the notre dame people think so this is an area where steve sarkeesian trusts his quarterback to take a shot down the field on play action naji harris lots of running room outside and he runs over kyle hamilton to get to the 18. [Applause] they'll go to the pistol now with harris the running back jones spinning and faking and completing to devonta smith he reminds me so much of marvin harrison the way he played there's harrison the pro football hall of famer here's slade bolden who stepped in model working his way back it seems like he might be available for the national championship game in 11 days hurdling is harris and now running down the sideline and he's chopped out of bounds deep in irish territory one of three finalists for the dope walker award is the best running back in the country you can go ahead and give him that one right now no offense to travis etienne and bruce hall the other finalists play fake by jones has a man wide open jaleel billingsly another bam a touchdown [Applause] second and seven they stick with tyree true freshman running back book trying to set up a screen lots of running room and blockers for tyree and they're going to mark him out of bounds back at the 45-yard line as he said he wants to eat clock they averaged nearly 34 minutes of possession per game tyree looks like he has the first down as aaron banks the outstanding guard first team consensus all-american number 69 trying to help high snap slow developing play but here comes kyron williams red shirt freshman played in four games last year in red shirted much slimmer and stronger and he carries on third and two for the first down some of the backups not as talented as tremble design run for book in book to the goal line and they're marking him down short irish fans and players thought it was a touchdown fourth and goal magnificent drive will it yield points yes it will kyron williams slides into the end zone for a notre dame touchdown a long time on the sideline for mack jones and the tight offense last time they're on the field they went a long way in a short amount of time 97 yards and five plays jones [Applause] there's steve sarkeesian the offensive coordinator and winner of the frank broyles award this year as the top assistant coach in the country [Applause] irish showing blitz they brought pressure jones threw away from it to devonta smith who's taken out of bounds across midfield zach jones sees weapons everywhere he looks and how about that catch by jaleel billingsley that's what they needed another weapon yeah remember the second half of this season take to naji harris and the quick strike to devonta smith and he is in for a touchdown and he is slow to get up again it's rpo but it's part of notre dame's identity i mean that's that's who they are that's worked very well for them 10-1 only lost in the acc championship game there's george takas back up tight end getting more time here without tommy tremble in the game third down and eight again they spread the field with five receivers ian brooke under duress completes it over the middle and then incomplete right now it's alabama leading 21-7 they've scored all three times they've had it najee harris weaved through the irish defense to the 30. is this the best offense you've ever coached he said i don't compare teams and he said last year might have been done when two was healthy maybe he's doing a little bit more than just running on dry land irish fans hoping for a stop matt jones complaints to devonta smith just beyond the sticks most college football receivers just tell me the play and let me run it now they flip it to him deeper into the bag of tricks and the irish swing him down kyle hamilton and if you try to blitz there's that mammoth offensive line it's tough to get around ian book he's also going to ask you about the mindset here we'll determine what notre dame does nine yard game that was a design quarterback draw for book and he slides down head first has a receiver made of play at all for notre dame in this game not a string for that team as well book on target to ben scaronick [Applause] alabama knows that as well they rush for book clue williams good play so this is still going to be a 51-yarder which would match his career long set in the last game against clemson outdoors in charlotte when he set the acc championship game record for the longest field goal with that 51-yard he's been a little shaky lately that's a knuckle ball that is nowhere near enough door got out to a good start this year as we said 50-50 lately and that's not good in today's football these kickers are so outstanding mac jones takes a knee he went 14 for 16. it is the pistol matt jones faked it tanaji harris lofts one down the middle and what a catch [Applause] three receiver bunched to the far sideline jones wanted to throw it to the near sideline still has time to check it down to naji harris who's down too shy of the first down not in field goal range for will reichard yet the toss to harris and the first down he had a lot of reps banked with steve sarkesian and he was ready to step into the into the limelight this year third down and 11. still probably not in field goal range jones that's a big stop for notre dame that is the big stop for notre dame the ball was deflected this feels big third down and four [Applause] alabama crowded the line rush four kyren williams shoved out of bounds and he'll have the first down with a half yard despair alabama might be vulnerable in the middle of a defense [Applause] book finds michael mayer three-time pro bowler there's a defensive back in the nfl played from miami and kansas city was also his son's high school coach for two years at american heritage in south florida [Applause] book on the run through it up for grabs and it gets intercepted by christian harris midway through the third quarter they have the ball back after the first turnover of the game mac jones quick strike to john metchi john mitchy down the sideline and devonte smith's sidekick that was the message the coaches gave to him before the season started if you want to get better don't dance and bounce take what the play gives you mac jones on third and four he's going to take off running and slide down with the first down at the seven design roll to the right on first and goal and he throws to the pylon and it is caught for another touchdown by devonta smith [Applause] i think if trevor lawrence hadn't missed two games i think it'd have been hard for him not to win it but i think devonte is going to win book on the run throws it away it's a late hit flag this is going to be a 15-yard penalty on alabama after the play avery davis has not done anything either he's a guy in the slot that has to make some plays that's the four-man rush but they get to book who can't unload it with christian barmore draped all over him a big loss up by 21 with two minutes to go in the third quarter miller forestalls had a nice day the numbers are shockingly very similar when you look at this year's alabama and last year's lsu team the teams are similar as well slayed bold in the catch and irish territory at the 44. third down to eight for alabama as we go to the fourth quarter here at the rose bowl game tied leading by 21 and naji harris picks up the first down inside the 30. see what steve sarkeesian calls now starting out of an empty backfield probably not a quarterback run i think they give mack jones a huge gap through the middle of that defense to almost entice him to run billingsly the catch [Applause] there's will reichert the first field goal attempt of the day for alabama sophomore from hoover alabama his head wait till he kicks it a perfect season and that hasn't always been the case for alabama under nick saban they've been great in so many aspects of the game but kicking and kicking field goals has not always been the case and ian book's been smart enough not to throw in his direction probably be the winner of the thorpe award is the best defensive back in the country high throw javon mckinley managed to take it in [Applause] book on target to skaronic he's had his moments for sure seem to come in bunches there's kyron williams bouncing off hits first down again alabama's done a really good job of neutralizing avery davis the slot receiver he's had some big plays for them especially in that win against clemson swing pass to chris tyree for a first down just one target today for avery davis but not a factor today targeted once not a completion unblocked blitzer jordan battle didn't get there and book got it off to michael mayer third down and 10. nice drive but they're taking a lot of time nearly four minutes on this possession and the throw too high for ben scaronick with josh jobe in coverage and kyron williams they're outstanding running back on the sideline fourth down and 10. book gets it off short of avery davis who couldn't make the catch with brian branch right behind him the only other time the rose bowl game was moved out of the rose bowl stadium 1942 shortly after the bombings in pearl harbor they weren't allowed to have major events on the west coast so oregon state and duke played it duke and durham game won by oregon state wallace wade stadium for the hall of fame alabama coach john metchi relieved his way near a first down in the super bowl more than midway through the fourth quarter now mack jones off the hands of devonta smith there goes the heisman yeah then only two drops that makes number three roughing the passer defense number 19. it's not the first or second round it's go back to school that was last year here comes a blitz at mac jones but where did you have them last year i think it's going to be intentional grounding yeah offense number 10 also down with the spout kyron williams has not come back either rifled one across the middle first down after the timeout brian kelly electing to go for it now on four count and ian books on target avery davis his first catch the deep ends the over routes because they thought the the place to attack was on the interior this is tough here yep up for grabs for skaronic trying to throw a jump ball and take advantage of his height patrick certain has the strength sportsman head coach alabama 15 young penalty from the previous spot well patrick told us his dad started working fundamentals with him at age five so yeah i think so michael mayer the catch with 143 to go book popped by mayor who's banged down at the one one minutes ago look the fake and he takes it in himself for the notre dame touchdown but alabama has scored 35 points or more in 24 straight games not only is that the longest active streak in the country it's the all-time record in fbs football [Music] they have 31 right there oh devonta smith couldn't come up with the onside kick and the irish have it at the 47-yard line jeremiah moa i do think clemson is playing very well right now i think they were very in sync against this notre team notre dame team in the acc championship game i think trevor lawrence is at the top of his game right now as you said they met last year it's really becoming a little bit of a contentious rivalry josh jobe breaks up the pass and gets flagged for it the bama fans and sideline hate it they're contending with a juggernaut here today alabama clearly will be the favorite in the championship game regardless of the opponent ian book one last rumble down the field devonta smith three touchdown receptions by the way not just tying the rose bowl record they are an alabama bowl game record for any bowl six times previously receiver had two touchdown catches i think before we see him again in miami in 11 days he's going to collect the heisman controller i think so too first wide receiver to do it since desmond howard if in fact he does win it blitz buck it's almost as if alabama was saying okay you want to call a timeout run one more play we're going to try to blast it was intended for avery davis and it brings an end to this rose bowl game presented by capital one davonte smith [Applause] seven catches 130 yards and three touchdowns and by his standards lately that's been a quiet night it averaged 144 yards receiving over the previous six games he'll need 10 yards to become the all-time leader in scc receiving yardage he's 10 behind jordan matthews or vanderbilt who holds that record so they're on their way to the national championship [Music] for the fifth time in seven years of the college football playoff
