However, the defense will be in Browning face all day, stop him and Bama will win the game.
The defense will score some points too.
I agree that the pass defense is the weakness of this Bama team. Injuries have been an issue though the guys who have stepped in have done a good job. Jalen keeping his composure and staying injury free is a key to this game. The Washington players were talking about hitting him and hitting him and hitting him some more in their presser today. Hopefully, the line will be ready for that.
I watched the Bama press conferences yesterday and today and love hearing the players. They are the most intelligent group of players I have seen out of Bama in the last ten years.
I think Alabama is just a rougher and tougher team and will wear Washington down by half-time.
Nobody runs against Bama. After 13 games teams have averaged 63 yards per game. The rush is not gonna happen.
Florida (Gators) had 231 yards passing, ZERO yards rushing for the whole game.
I wish the best for my Huskies....
...but I must acknowledge that it will take a ‘Red Sea-class’ miracle of Almighty God for them to win.
Alabama is really good, but the right team could make it interesting: good OL, accurate pro-style passer, run-pass balance, no turnovers. A running QB or a lateral running game, no way. Maybe one of those good Stanford teams of a few years ago. I don’t know enough about Washington to know how they match up.
Okay, that’s pretty good.
MY humble prediction:
Half - Alabama 17 Washington 10
Final - Alabama 41 Washington 17
Now Clemson - Ohio State -- different story. That will be an all-night barn-burner. Final Clemson 34 OSU 31
We'll have at it with Clemson again for world champs?
I’ll ping you Saturday night, so you can eat a few of those words ... ROLL TIDE, ROLL!
I want OSU. We owe them a but whoopin'.
Please do.
When they have to defend against the long pass, the short pass and the play action pass, the run will be much, much easier.
The long pass is questionable. Don't quote me but QB's against the Bama front 5 have a window of about 2.5 seconds to throw the ball. For there to be any success in the air the Husky OL will have to be in top form and the Bama DL will have to have a bad day. In short, the Huskies better put up a lot of points in the first half if they can because there's no way they can stand toe to toe with the Bama DL for 4 quarters.
The Tide’s defensive backfield is a sieve. Their DL has kept them in many games.
Any scheme that negates their blitz will be successful.
I invite you to watch this:
