Trick play time!

Fun so far.

Pretty sure they have been thinking about points all game long.

Getting them against this defense isn't as easy as just thinking about them.

They arent taking any shots and they continue to do 3 yard routes. They have to mix it up and they should have run the ball last drive and went to half. Dumb playcalling and decision-making

 

[pistlpete]

2 turnovers too many.

 

[UNA Lion]

Nope. Take it in, and make halftime adjustments.

Sadly for the Huskies, the second half is usually where Bama shines.

 

[Destroydacre]

10 points off turnovers and that's the difference. Hopefully Petersen and Smith can make some adjustments for the offense at halftime and maybe the D can force a TO in the second half. Still not over, but they can't let Alabama march it down the field to open the second half.

 

[WizardHawk]

Down 10 isn't the end of the world, but they need a lot of help to get back in this. Bama gets it to open the 2nd half and a big turnover would do it.

Not expecting it though.

Washington is still in the game...mostly because Kiffin is too stupid to run the ball inside where they're killing them... good game so far...

Whatever dude. They were burning clock and seeing what happened. Bama's getting the ball 2nd half and they're coming with no huddle and run. You're comment is one of a simpleton.

 

[Banned 10x]

my biggest concern was our oline, I thought they played pretty well. too bad Browning looks every bit the sophmore that he is, let's hope he finds himself in the 2nd half

 

[Buck-I-Bob]

Washington really needs to regroup. They need to take more shots downfield but they have to do a better job blocking

 

[10HtownRebs]

Big Boy football

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Huskies are still in great shape...like coach just said, need to not give the ball away and they're probably leading

 

[wazzu31]

That troll that is interviewing Saban is ruining my buzz, is ESPN lacking money they can't pay a decent looking girl who they feed lines to anymore?

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Jake Browning is done right now, he's mentally checked out.... He's gonna cost the Huskies this game

 

[blazer prophet]

Well, UW is still in the game at half. Browning had that great TD pass and now is making poor throws.

As to Alabama, maybe the worst play calling imaginable. Just brutal. I think I can guarantee you they will run more in the second half.

 

[RegentDenali]

I'm already fighting a cold and that Browning pass for the pick has me feeling like I'm closer to hurl.

Good god man. That was one of the worst things I've seen from him since he walked on the campus. Come on man.

Not if Browning doesn't start playing better, he is WAY off, should a NEVER thrown that easy pick, he's also NEVER Looking down field, it's all just little screen passes... Huskies need to take some shots down field and stop just running little dink in dunk play's on offense...

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

I'm impressed by the Huskies. They've kept our offense pretty well in check and put up a nice TD on our D. I feel like we need to turn it up still.

TV coverage isn't showing us what is going on downfield. There were a lot of plays that Browning had time and didn't throw it. No chance he saw anyone to throw it to. Bama must be doing a good job of covering those plays. They are mostly rushing 4 and still getting pressure so they have safety help and the LB's are free over the middle.

As a Seahawk fan I've seen it many times before. If you can get a rush in with just 3-4 it's very hard to throw at all, more or less home run downfield plays.
