How bad would Bama beat UW

I had this discussion with a A&M fan right after they lost @ Bama...

How bad would Bama beat UW in a playoff/Bowl game that took place in January?

If UW stayed undefeated I would guess Vegas would start the line and have Bama at about -8. Let the money roll and maybe the spread would get to -10 with the east coast money.

How do all of us doog fans see it? Are we okay hanging with Bama for a half then getting plungered second half for a final score 34-17?

Just wanted some discussion because the Pac12 is a fucking dumpster fire.... UW could go undefeated and the only test they had was a OT Win @ Zona....

    I don't think Alabama's offense is very good at all. The defenses in the SEC this year are terrible.. And Jalen Hurts cannot beat with you with arms... You take away his running ability you take away his game.

    Plus Bama has some FR starting at RT that hasn't looked great.. Actually played with Jake at Folsom

    A few drives A&M tried to run the ball outside and the Bama D just ate them alive... They are a damn near minor league NFL team on D. It baffles me that their offense is so bland. When in doubt, they run the ball. Then they run some more. I agree with that theory about 90% of the time. Their depth is what kills teams.... It's just seems unlikely UW can hang with them all game.

    I think UW has a real chance to keep the game close. I don't think the SEC is really good this year as their best win is probably Bama destroying SC. Otherwise the only significant wins OOC were against UNC, Vtech, TCU (who are not very good) and UCLA (Rosen threw three picks that game and UCLA is not good as well).

    Bama does pass the eye test (although I think Michigan is the best team in the country).

    That said we match up well with Bama. I don't think their QB can beat us with his arm. Play the run and stack the box. Their coordinator is Kiffen who loves to get creative with his play calling and out-smart himself (as does Sark). Luckily for them Saban loves to run the ball.

    That said put eight in the box and I have confidence in our corners playing good coverage on the outside.

    I am pretty confident our defense can keep it a low scoring game (I don't think we will move the ball well on offense though) and I think we ultimately lose by around 10.

    Rather easily, say... 34-17?

    2 touchdowns probably. UW's defense holds it's own but browning shits himself against that defense.
    24-10 or something

    Plunger.

    I don't think it'd be a 52-6 plunger, more like a 42-17 plunger but otherwise case closed.

    I don't think it would be that bad right now. Give Saban a month to prepare and it could be a plunger.

    It would be a plunger whether the score reflected it or not.

    Bama's defense is the best in college football. They have the only defense worthy of the "elite" label that is so casually thrown around, and their special teams unit is outstanding, maybe even elite. Their offense is overshadowed by their defense and special teams, but it's much better than simply serviceable and they have a "slam dunk first ballot" college hall of fame head coach. Any team can lose a game, but these guys are the least likely to do so regardless of who they play.

    UW has a very good football team, but is not elite in any phase. Bama beat aTm 33 - 14, I could see them containing the Huskies offense and scoring enough to win rather easily, say 34 -17.
