The Washington-Alabama game will be a lot closer than the oddsmakers think. Alabama’s running game will struggle against Washington’s Defensive Line. They will have to rely more on their freshman QB than in previous games.
Bama must get pressure on Washingtons QB or he can pick them apart. They need to contain Washington’s overlooked run game as well.
Like Saban, Chris Petersen the Husky coach has a great record when he has had a few weeks to prepare for an opponent: going back to his Boise State days. Alabama will likely prevail but it will be a lot closer than than 14 points!
You may be right, but bear in mind that Alabama dominated USC just as USC dominated the Huskies. I think it depends on which Alabama team shows up to play. Even though I don’t think the Huskies as a team are as good as you think they are this year, their coach looks like he is building a program that will be first rate.
