Jesus Huskies, this is Alabama not Minnesota, pull your heads out and put them away

Lol...the radio guys were just raggin' on Kiffin, saying, "yeah, time for him to go"

 

[tnapucco]

Spring camp started yet?

Difference in the game is still the turnovers

Bama converted 2 of theirs for 10 points

While Budda Baker dropped his interception, King didn't even see his interception opportunity, and Wooching couldn't recover the fumble

Game is totally different if Browning had thrown the ball away on the pick and we get those turnovers

 

[WizardHawk]

And start by shooting yourself in the foot again.

This should end well.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Come on 12 man on the field penalty!?

It feels like Bama has 20 guys on defense the whole game! Where's the flag for that

 

[tnapucco]

If "if's and but's" were candy and nuts, we would all have a Merry Ol' Christmas!

 

[gohusk]

I'd love to see the all 22 and see if this is Browning just not pulling the trigger or if Bama secondary completely blanketed every fucking receiver

Yeah. But this isn't the NFL where everybody is a freak. Sometimes you're just overmatched by better athletes. This is a 20 year old guy who hasn't had a chance to set his feet against a loaded defensive line.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Pettis hurt?

 

[Podunkparte]

Good game Bama.

Impressed by UW's defense overall.

Alabama's defense is just incredibly good.

Here comes a pick... Let's see if it comes back for a TD.

Yeah, despite the final score, UW isn't far off from being fully competitive at this level. Defense is already there.

If nothing else, this game will give Jake a LARGE dose of experience which he should put to good use the next two years. T

And that guy named Bo in the state of Alabama reminds me of a guy named Bo in the state of Alabama.

I agree, Browning is over matched here and its showing. I would just like a glimpse at what he is seeing in the rare occurrence that he has time to throw

Brilliant play by Washington there.

well ... if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas too but to be the better team you have to win

Browning will continue to get better. He went from mediocre Freshmen to All American/Borderline Heisman Candidate Sophomore. His problem has been the mental mistakes and big games in the spot light (USC and Bama)

Not disputing that at all. Bama has clearly been the better team.

Was just thinking that. Washington did have chances, but they just couldn't come up with the big play. Alabama got a couple big plays. That was the difference. Still very proud of what Washington was able to accomplish this year. I thought they would be good, but I didn't expect a Pac-12 championship and a spot in the playoff. Something to build on for sure.
