If we run we're toast. No shot, he says.

We need line of scrimmage reads, pre- determined routes and quick release passes into space.

In other words, Hugh thinks that in order to have any shot at winning, we need to run Mike Leach''s offense and play like Cuogs???

Just out of curiosity, what would be your plan of attack against Bama? You're not going to be able to run it up the middle on them, they're too fast to run it east/west, and you won't have enough time to throw it deep. The quick pass game seems to me to be your best shot of moving the ball against them. I don't agree with much of what Hugh says but we're not going to impose our will on Bama in the run game

If that's your mentality you have already lost. UW won't win playing 1 dimensional football

You have to beat them by using motion/formations to your advantage to create advantageous situations.

You have to get them to react instead of dictate.

Their entire defense is built on stopping the run, getting pressure on the QB, and pressing short/intermediate routes because they don't expect to have to cover long.

I fully expect that they will pay a lot of attention to John Ross.

We need to be able to break our tendencies and that includes getting the ball out quickly ...

We need to find ways to get Gaskin the ball in space in situations ... this will happen in the passing game not the running game.

We will need to find opportunities to get Daniels the ball ... athletic TEs have given Bama some problems.

But most importantly, we need to be content with the idea that we're not going to win the game through our offense. We're going to win the game through defense and special teams. If there's a recurring theme(s) in the last 5 years, it's the following 2 things:

1) Turnovers Margin
2) Very poor day for Bama kicking FGs

We need to be smart enough when it's 4th and 3 at the 38 to punt the ball inside the 10.

We need to be smart enough to know when picking up 8-10 yards on a 3rd and 20 is a potential free first down on our next possession.

We need to make sure we protect the ball at all costs ... look at what LSU did this year simply by not turning the ball over and relying on their defense ... scoreless into the 4th quarter.

We need to have a field position changing play in special teams ... Van Winkle needs to be the best kicker on the field (enough said about that) ... and we can't allow a punt block.

We need to play an A or A+ level game for us and force Alabama into something more in their B or C range. We have a lot of pieces that will give us at least a punchers chance.

So in terms of offense, quick passing reads and getting the ball in space

alumni94

I agree spread them out with formations and we do need to throw the deep ball to keep them honest and not allow them to load the box. Play action...under utilized but very effective.

Tequilla

First thing I'll be looking for are our shifts, motions, and formation groupings ... how/what/who are we trying to attack???

Instead of saying that we need to have quick passing reads, it's more important to me to try to isolate situations to let Jake be his pre-snap Jesus best. Saying you have to throw quick will just lead to potential panic. That's where the breaking tendency part comes into play ... we throw primarily to Ross and Pettis ... we need to be very diversified against Alabama.

As for space, we need to be thinking of ways to get Gaskin the ball in the passing game against a LB. He's shifty enough to make someone mix and if the play design is good, that could lead to a very good gain.

in all likelihood they are not going to move the ball via the run consistently. We are a balanced team unlike LSU so that helps, but we also not as physical as LSU.
Figuring out ways to get the ball to people in space is not a bad game plan. I think check downs to the backs or TE could help assuming they are keeping a safety high to protect vs ross. We haven't done that much this year though.

You have to try and run it....even if 2nd and 8 everytime. Better than 2nd and 10 or worse.

That's what she said.

LoneStarDawg

Double TE all game and sample and dissly need at least 8 catches combined. We have to keep their Edge at home with the TE threat.

RoadDawg55

Alabama is smaller on defense than they used to be. Line up Dissly or Sample in the pseudo, shotgun offset I and run power right at them. Guard pulls and the TE in the backfield gets anyone who filters through.

I do think it is more of a game for Coleman than Gaskin. That patient, wait for the holes shit doesnt seem like a recipe for success against Bama's speed.

Really though, UW has to commit to the run even if it's not successful. We are fucked if Bama can just pin their ears back every down.

jecornel

What are Hugh's thoughts on the turf?

Who has the advantage on fake grass?

Does the game mean more to UW than Bama?

What is Browning's thigh size compared to Hurts? Who has longer finger nails?

Does UW have more players with longer hair than Bama's? Hair length could be all the difference?

RoadDawg55

Balanced offense with short, screen type passes to Ross and McClatcher. The way to beat any great defense is to keep them off balance. We probably need a wrinkle like TE's more involved or constantly moving Ross around as a decoy.

iDawg

Hugh has about the worst track record in the history of prognosticators.

Run the ball off-guard the whole game.

Prediction: UW will have 30 rushes for 100 yards going into the 4th quarter. Then Coleman breaks one.

Go back and look at how Arizona beat UW in 92.

Giving up on the run is a death sentence,

Quietcowskee

We need Tedford right now so bad.

Uhh no, he basically just reiterated what Pup told orangeslice today. quick passes, especially on 1st downs until the run finds an identity. If Bama is behind, for really the 1st time all year, Gaskin and his style will find little creases go bust through. Harris meet Reuban Foster.

Straight u p, no way to run on them. But Chad Kelly has thrown over a half mile on them in 2 years. Difference? Ole miss had zero fucking running game to make Bama pay. Washington does, and wont try to r u n straight at them (see Stanford). Conversely UW could run on USC. ..they ditched it, didnt force it and lost. But to say Hugh meant that we need to run Leach's offense shows what a buttfucking idiot you are. What's new around here
