In discussing match-ups for the national championship game analysts have talked throughout November about the style similarities and differences between the top contenders. One element of football that is taking center stage--thank God--is toughness as Notre Dame, Alabama, LSU, KSU, Florida, etc all game plan to beat up opponents while teams that try to out-athlete opponents have stumbled. The team that best epitomizes the speed game, Oregon, fell to a Stanford team that was much tougher than the Ducks.
But you can't hit 'em if you can't catch them and the premium is now on very big players that can also move. There are not that many of those guys and they tend to be collected by those top teams.So when you take a look at your favorite team's recruits pay attention to the big guys. The rise to the BCS title game is much easier with guys like Nix, Tuitt and Te'o than Clausen.
As for this title game Notre Dame does match up well with both Georgia and Alabama and the game should be a good one. Keep and eye on the very talented players up front as they will dictate the outcome of the game.
