There's more truth in your post than most people are willing to admit.

Why would he be mad, for stating something that 99% of the fan want? Fans want to see their teams live.

99% of fans want me to see an Alabama game?

Maybe I should start a gofundme campaign.

Agreed on the running game. I think when Washington played USC. They abandoned the run as USC could put them in predictable passing downs and they didn't trust their offensive line to protect Browning on those plays.

Not to take anything away from USC, but no team in the country has a rush defense like Bama. So running the ball against Bama sounds like a great idea, but you have to have the OL to give your RB a shot. I like Washington's RB's and WR's, but I don't think their OL will hold up against Bama to give them room to utilize that talent.

To be fair I wouldn't use the SC game as a big comparison for Washington. And I definitely wouldnt focus on the run game in that game. The run defense was the key to the SC defense this season. They only gave up 100 yards rushing 3 times.To Alabama with Harris,Stanford with McCaffery and Adams with Notre Dame. All very solid running backs. And you could factor in that Browne played against Alabama and Stanford.The defense was on the field a lot. With lack of time of possession. And the ND game was in the rain.Darold giving flow to the offense gave the defense a break. The SC CBs are extremely talented. Adoree isn't an easy draw for a wr. And Pendergast brings a lot of different looks. Alabama plays a different defense Browning will need to be quick with the decisions..If Browning has time I'm not sure i've seen a better wr than Ross this year. Im not sure anyone is beating Alabama but i wouldnt count Washington out

Alabama is beatable

But do to them playing USC before they were good, and the entire SEC outside of Alabama being complete crap we don't know how Alabama is beatable yet.

Whoever they play in the playoff will be by far their best opponent they've played all year

Just to point out -- Bama and USC's rush defense has not been remotely close this year. Bama gives up 69 YPG, while USC gives up 133 YPG. This is why I used USC as the example, as they were the top rush defense they faced, who would have a few athletes like Bama on that side of the ball.

This is the issue for teams -- you want to run, but then you end in 2nd or 3rd and long, and end up with obvious passing downs and they can pin their ears back and get after the QB (and they are one of the top pass rushing defenses)

For whatever reason -- Every Bama game is televised around me, so any time Michigan wasn't playing at the same time. I watched Bama. They are susceptible against the pass, but it is the QB's who can extend the play who have the most success and with the pressure they put on the QB -- you pretty much need a mobile QB to give your WR's time to run their routes and get open.

I generally don't like comparing different styles and conferences.Im not saying anyone can beat Alabama. And I am not saying USC is on the same level as Alabama.But I wouldnt use the USC rush defense as a comparison. For instance statistically Utah had the better run defense than SC this year. And Gaskins ran for 151 yards against the Utes

Ok, so name the playoff team that has a better resume.

Hmm. Jump on us quick, we start like shit. Go balls out at the beginning tossing the ball and then hope we can't catch up. - That would be my strategy since it takes advantage of our weakest points: Starting games & our Secondary. On defense I'd blitz a lot early and try to keep the pressure on. Kiffin's play calling ain't that inspired or unpredictable in the first half so I'd exploit the shit out of that.

More broadly speaking? Tbagging. I can't stop tbagging.

No disrespect to OSU. I don't bet on games, but if Bama and OSU were to play. I will wager on my first game in forever and put it on Bama.

If Michigan were to somehow pay Bama, I would take out a 50K loan then I would go to the casino and double that shit up to 100K. Then I would take out all the money in my savings and add it to the 100K and place a bet on Bama

If Bama's secondary is not that great, than Browning will have them for lunch. Actually I would prefer the Huskies play Bama first to see how good both teams really are.
The secondary is the weakness for sure, but the Bama D-line doesn't give opposing qb's to pick them apart... USC was able to stay in Browning grill all night. Bama would be able to do the same I would imagine.

Hopefully the Huskies will get a chance to play Bama.

Is Hurts not accurate outside of the Pocket? I've Seen others say Alabama brings a ton of heat, so obviously you need quick slants/quick pass plays to move the ball
