Monday night saw the Alabama dynasty continue as the Tide rolled to their sixth national championship under Nick Saban with a 52-24 victory over Ohio State in Miami Gardens, Florida.
As has been the case the entire season, Alabama looked like an all-star team that even the best of the best could barely slow.
After Ohio State was outscored 28-7 in the second quarter, the game was essentially over. Former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn took the time to defend his alma-mater while plenty of others jumped in as well.
One who did was a former Notre Dame commitment who wound up enrolling with its biggest rival, USC.
Markese Stepp, a USC running back who is in the transfer-portal, took to Twitter to defend Notre Dame during last night’s championship.
So r y’all gonna give ohio state the same slander y’all gave Norte dame??

Sixteen minutes later he reminded us what any rational college football observer already knew, but plenty refuse to accept.
Just to let y’all know both teams deserve to be in the playoffs. Alabama is just DIFFERENT and yall fail to understand that. https://t.co/wnZ6fukVLU
