The Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the 2021 Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Alabama is dangerous all over the offensive side of the ball, and Najee Harris is a major reason for that. He will play a major role against Notre Dame as one of the best running backs in the country.

There was some chatter Alabama might have three Heisman Trophy finalists including Harris, but in the end only quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver DeVonta Smith. It was still a spectacular season for the Alabama running game. During the season, Harris led the country with 24 rushing touchdowns with the third most yards rushing at 1,262 yards on the ground.
