THE PAC 12 THREAD v.5

[wazzu31]

I'm not giving a blue print or anything or saying you guys will win, I'm just saying this myth of Alabama as one of the best teams ever is a huge joke. They have played one decent QB and got lit up. Your offense is twice as good as Ole Miss but on the same note the best defense you guys played essentially gave up 6 points.

 

[socaljim242]

Who says they can't though? Alabama is my mythed as this unstoppable team but have only played one semi decent QB who could only start for Oregon State in Kelly from Ole Miss and he torched that all world defense. Alabama has yet to play a balanced offense, I hate saying UW has a chance but since the weather won't be an issue, which IMO is the reason Browning looked like garbage against $C, us and Colorado they should be able to do as well as Ole Miss who realistically doesn't have one position player on offense that would start on UW over a starter at the same spot.

Oh maybe because they send like four D linemen and LBs to the NFL first couple rounds every year and have the best high school ones available to plug in. The teams that have given bama problems in the past have been the A&M and Baylor type offenses and Clemson last year with a QB who could run. Washington is "balanced" but they aren't going to run it down the Bama d line. It's just not going to happen.

You're not a great team because you faced great offenses. You're a great team because your a great team regardless of who you've faced. It's true the Washington offense is probably more dynamic than what they face in the SEC but these are grown ass men on their defense and if you thought USC was big and fast well only the CBs on USC wuold start over any player on the Bama defense.

Alabama has sent their fair share into the NFL but also has the massive bust rate $C has. Alabama has like what 40 NFL Draft picks but 5 or 6 that will do anything.

True, except they have played one decent offense all year and their defense got destroyed when their secondary was healthy. Ole Miss isn't as balanced or nearly as talented as UW..we are doing "matchups" right?

They dont recruit them to play in the NFL. They recruit them because they are the best in High School. Seriously they have three National Championships in the last four years and five since Sabans been there. So i have no idea what you've been watching. Oh and USC still has the most drafted and the most pro bowlers all time so again I have no idea what you've been watching. When your school has practically every starting QB for a 16 year period drafted come back to me.

What does how they perform in the NFL have to do with how they perform in college?

They have lost to O'le Miss three out of the last four years and have won the NC every year they lost to them. They beat O'le Miss this year.

Cause the subject of their front 7 being brought up since it is stocked with NFL talent.

It means they are so good in college they get drafted.

 

[wazzu31]

Because every title game they have played hasn't been a complete team. They've beaten a QB less LSU squad and a defensive less Clemson team.....fuck you all for making me say anything remotely positive about the Mutts.

 

[trojanfan12]

Still has nothing to do with how they perform in the NFL vs. college. Matt Leinart was pretty much an NFL bust, but he still won a Heisman trophy and was an NFL caliber qb.

Just because a player is "NFL caliber" doesn't mean he will succeed in the NFL. It just means that he's good enough in college that he will be given the opportunity to succeed in the NFL.

lol. The lines are where games are won . Alabama just has bigger badder guys on both sides. They dont need to be flashy at QB and they dont have to score a ton usually. They play mistake free (usually) and eventually they pounce on a mistake and when you are in a position where yo have to throw they come at you and on offense they just pound it. The Bama offense isn't what will win them the game it;s the beasts they have on the line.
Oh and they had to play those teams in the national championship game. Which means they were the last two left. Anyone better wasn't playing.

 

[wazzu31]

Like I said fuck you guys, you are making me question my sensuality by semi defending the Huskies...so Roll Tide

 

[The Oldtimer]

If you think the Huskies can run for even 150 yards against Alabama, then I'm thinking you need to try different street drugs.

Did you read my comment? I said, "IF the Huskies can run the ball for 265 yards against Bama, then Browning won't need a big game". I never said they would/could run the ball against Bama.

Well, IF you read my reply, it still stands.

I see ways where UW can win, but I would say their chances are no better than 15%.

Fair enough and I respect your opinion , but FWIW I'm taking the Huskies and the 15 points.

I'd pass on that one. I think Alabama's defense will create a few turnovers and they will, well, "roll".

 

[WizardHawk]

So it's Christmas and you jackasses spend the entire day arguing over Bama's defense?

Doesn't SC have a game of their own coming soon? Why do you never hear them speaking about it, just UW UW UW? It's the Rose Bowl ffs.

Because UW is in the playoffs for the first time and that's news for the conference. Whether I like it or even agree with it is meaningless, they're in and we're talking about it.
