Going back to 1926, Washington (still) has never beat Alabama.
I know it’s strange, but I’m a Tennessee fan that roots for Alabama when they aren’t playing the Vols...
Could it be a rematch of last year’s championship?
Was it just me, or did you also see a pathetic pass offense? Defense on both sides seemed good. But, passing accuracy by Washington was rather sad.
I'm a proximity rooter....who ever is closer to me, gets my cheers.
I will root for Clemson over Ohio just because Clemson is in South Carolina. We beat Clemson last year for the national championship. They were a tough opponent.
I didn’t really relax until maybe 3 minutes left.
I had a strong feeling that Washington would win. Maybe just fear.
Not Guilty.
I've complained about Jalen Hurts' passing all year.
(Hurts is an 18 YO freshman though)
Oh Hell Yeah!!!
Oh!
How I hate...
I admired Bear Bryant...He is smiling at Alabama’s defense...He once said, “Defense is the name of the game...You can run50 plays on offense...Screw up 47, run 3 perfect and have 21 points...Run 50 on defense and have 47 perfect...Screw up 3 of them and be down 21 points...”
Roll Tide, Roll!
Yea, Alabama! Drown ‘em Tide!
Every ‘Bama man’s behind you;
Hit your stride!
Go teach the Bulldogs to behave,
Send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave!
And if a man starts to weaken,
That’s a shame!
For ‘Bama’s pluck and grit
Have writ her name in crimson flame!
Fight on, fight on, fight on, men!
Remember the Rose Bowl we’ll win then!
Go, roll to victory,
Hit your stride,
You’re Dixie’s football pride, Crimson Tide!
Plus, Dabo is a Bama grad.
I’m neutral. Gotta recover from today’s game. I don’t like it when refs don’t make calls. It leads to more blatant fouls which are still not called.
It was rather easy, very similar to most of their games this year!
I know the feeling.
I thought Washingtons offense would look better than they did.
Scarborough carried the day for Bama, 180 yards rushing.
Alabama’s defense is an amazing thing to behold.
That line is in reference to the 1926 Rose Bowl game against Washington.
Alabama won with Johnny Mack Brown from Dothan.
My Alma Mater, Troy came very close to beating Clemson.
