The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to battle it out on the gridiron on New Year’s Day in Arlington, Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinal Rose Bowl matchup.
Like many highly-anticipated matchups, pregame trash talk is common — or primarily confident statements made by each team, which can provide locker room bulletin board material.
The latter certainly appears to be the case as Notre Dame sophomore safety, Kyle Hamilton believes his team has what it takes to put a stop to Alabama running back, Najee Harris.

"Will stop" him because it's easier to throw 70 yard TDs to Smitty

Risky take, let’s see how it plays out for them! Looking forward to the game and Najee’s 69 carries
