Alabama vs. Notre Dame Football live stream: How to watch online
By Brad Weiss
The Notre Dame football team will take on Alabama in the Rose Bowl on Friday, and here is how you can catch all of the action online.
The Notre Dame football team has worked all season long to get to the College Football Playoff, and the time has come for them to take the field. The Irish are a huge underdog against the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide, who are coming into this game fresh off another SEC title and have a chip on their shoulder after not making the CFP last season.
Notre Dame comes into this game off a terrible loss in the ACC Championship Game, as the Clemson Tigers harassed Ian Book all game long. Also, the Tigers were able to do pretty much anything they wanted against the Notre Dame defense, as Trevor Lawrence and company put the game away pretty early.
Here is how you can catch all of the action online:
Who: No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
What: 2021 Rose Bowl Game presented by Capital One
Time: 4:00 PM ET
Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Television Station: ESPN
Friday, the Irish will look to avoid the same fate, as getting out to an early deficit against Alabama could make this a snoozer in the first half. The narrative has been that Notre Dame did not even belong in the CFP, and cannot win big games, so the Irish should have their own chip on their shoulder in this one.
Alabama is a 20.5-point favorite heading into the matchup inside AT&T Stadium, which be the venue in 2021 due to the fact Southern California has strict COVID restrictions. That seems like a huge number considering these are two of the top-four teams in the country, but it also has not stopped bettors from rolling with the Tide.

Ball control and avoiding the big mistakes will be paramount for the Irish, and the hope is that Book has played enough games where he will not be overwhelmed by the moment on Friday. Notre Dame will have to be perfect, but this is playoff football, and the hope is the Irish can at least make this one interesting.
