Northern Illinois is a BCS team years in the making
Northern Illinois' ascension to a BCS bowl contender was a long time coming.
Quotable:
"They probably have the best front seven in the country, and statistically they're in the top 10 in just about every defensive category," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "USC gets the ball on the 1-yard line and in four plays can't make an inch. [The Irish] have some pretty physical guys with some great toughness, and they play great as a team."
Notre Dame has allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season, the fewest of any team nationally. It will be facing a team that has scored 35 rushing touchdowns and would have produced many more had the Crimson Tide not emptied the benches in nine of their victories.
Alabama's ground dominance was on display in the SEC championship win over Georgia, as the Tide amassed 350 rushing yards against a defense that could have eight or nine players drafted in April.
"Everybody talks about their great offensive line, but I think their backs are very physical," Kelly said. "It's just going to be a tremendous challenge for our football team. They're constructed the right way when you look at the way they play the game. There is no panic, because this is a team and a coaching staff that has been there before.
"They ran the ball in the third quarter and exerted their will on Georgia, and that's why it's going to be a great challenge for us."
