If we run for 100 yards we win this game

The line, Coleman, and Gaskin are the keys to this game.
I legitimately believe our defense will give them problems.
If we cant run and have to rely exclusively on Browning things will get ugly fast

I just hope we can do better than Florida's ZERO yards rushing in their conf champ game. But they only had 30 carries.
-
1, maybe 2 turnovers max. Cannot let their defense score or setup short fields deep in our territory. UW defense > Bama offense... but their defense is just as dangerous as their offense.
-
USC kept it close in the first half until Bama realized Browne sucks
-
I just hope no one dies.

This. No running game, no fucking chance.PostGameOrangeSlices said:The line, Coleman, and Gaskin are the keys to this game.

Hopefully SmithFS runs over and over and Jake doesn't throw a pick 6 or gets greedy and forgets his tight ends over the middle, hopefully they kick off to Ross, and punt a few times to Pettis
-
there are not many ways to beat Bama, but thier run D is historically good. we need the browning pre Oregon state to show up or we are fucked.

1. Running on Bama is really freaking hard. Ask LF7 and any other name brand rb's we've gone up against.PostGameOrangeSlices said:The line, Coleman, and Gaskin are the keys to this game.

2. Hurry up offenses where our guys get off balance for a full drive have never been a good thing for us
3. and most importantly, we get beat by QB's that are dual threat or just insanely good.
This team is savage. All Saban teams are. They're human though, and football isn't decided by a series of games. You get one chance. If I were the Washington coach, I would stress constantly that it's just business. Get in the team's heads. Eradicate any and -all- emotion, even the good motivating kinds, before the game. Think of it as business, and don't stop until the game's f'king over. I'd keep going, but I'm distracted af. -
Cause we should for sure try to line up and run it straight at a team giving up 2.03 yards per rush. Good game plan.NeGgaPlEaSe said:

There are other options than exclusively running up the middle. For us to be successful we will have to use a north south running game but coupled with a strong showing from browning in the short and intermediate passing game. At no point should jake attempt to go deep or it will get picked. We just have to stick to our strengths, let explosive plays occur naturally if they do (as opposed to our coaches attempts to fabricate them), and just keep their offense in check.BlowItUp said:

I don't see any path to victory that allows for blowing them out. We have a chance to win though by playing our best with a sound game plan that focuses on our strengths. -
This is literally the exact opposite of SC, SC was vulnerable against the run which is why it was FS to try and pass it. Alabama is not vulnerable against the run at all. You have to be balanced.NeGgaPlEaSe said:

I'm not expecting us to win, nor to have much success on offense.
Losing 27-13 or something would be acceptable. Don't pull a MSU.
If death row can force hurts into some bad throws or UW gets a ST TD UW has a chance.
And I know people hate them, but you will need to run at least one trick play
-
You do have to be balanced... totally agree. And doing a run heavy game would be foolish. Balanced attack. Stay a step ahead of our defensive play calling. As little time between snaps as possible, even if you haven't gotten super efficient or practiced at that.
-
yep. may have to break out hurry up and rely on the defense to hold up. tall ask but might be the only way
-
Will Smith have the discipline to stick with the run even when bama initially stuffs it? He didn't against usc. Crisp short and intermediate routes MUST be practiced over them next couple weeks. Jake will need to get rid of the ball quickly AND BE ACCURATE.
Abandoning the run too early and inaccurate deep balls will lead to a blowout. -

OK, I just want to say one thing. The Crimson Tide puts their pants on one leg at a time just like us. We are going to run Gascan. Jake "Cobra" Browning will have his game dialed in. The big white line will be ready to rumble. The polynesian, Gaines, and colored guys on our D interior will be ready to rumble. The kicking game will be solid.

Only thing I will add is Jake must milk every second of play clock he can. We must shorten the game and put game pressure on Bama.Passion said:Will Smith have the discipline to stick with the run even when bama initially stuffs it? He didn't against usc.

2 yard runs are okay versus the tide JS. -

Bama fan here, the deep ball is tricky with Bama. It can bite you, but it bites Bama way more often than you might think. By nature of Saban's aggressive design, big plays do get open, and Bama's best corner, Marlon Humphrey, has a penchant for giving up big plays down field. Kid never, EVER turns his head around to look for the ball. He can be had, despite being a future top 15 pick. He frustrates the hell out of me.Mad_Son said:

It's harder to run outside of the tackles, than up the middle. This defense is FAST. Reuben Foster is a heat seeking missile, but only weighs 235 at mlb. This D is a tad lighter in the britches than past defenses, but the pass rush is nasty because of it.
One note not many people realize. Bama has played 10 top 50 offenses. 10. 1/5th of the top 50. This might just be Saban's best defense at Bama. This team can absolutely shut down anyone if they play up to even half of their potential.
I'll go on an equally long diatribe about the offense at some point. -

You know, I am honestly starting to think some of these new posters are actually genuine. I know it's a long shot, but when they write stuff about a kid not turning his head to look for the ball. Shit, I only went to half of the Oregon st. game this year. I don't know who fucking turns his head to look for the ball. This is like the fan I was way back almost 20 years ago when I could still drink the cool-aid. Back when I cared. Before I got interested in small college football, went over to the enemy. Actually I think IF this team had the soul of the 2000 Huskies, they'd win. I don't know if Browning has what it takes. Tui would pull out a win, somehow. They didn't have the talent of this team, but they could COMPETE. -
Alabama has historically struggled against the hurry up spread teams ... see Saban's comments about hurry up offenses and whatnot.
It's not that UW needs to snap the ball quickly and maximize the number of snaps. It's more that UW can't allow them to ever get stationary in our formations before the snap whether that comes from staying in the huddle and quick snapping it on them OR using shifting formations (a Pete staple). -

I see 5 (USC, WKU, Miss, Tenn, A&M), what metric are you using? Also using top 50 as a bragging data point when there's ~118 is a pretty tenuous claim.
Otherwise, good post. Stick around. -

I fully expect this to be a competitive game. Bama is going to hear how they should blow out UDub for the next month, and UDub will be told they can't win. I trust Saban, but kids will be kids, and I expect UDub to hit Bama in the teeth as hard as they can from the word go. Would be disappointed in anything less. Blowouts are easy on the nerves, but close games are always more fun in the long run.
There is a specific formula to beating Bama, and Washington has the ingredients to make the right stew. Doing it, on the other hand, is the trick.
All of that being said, based on what I've seen from both teams. If both played their A+ games for 4 quarters, Bama wins by 21+. This teams peak capabilites are insanely high, we haven't even played a B+ game yet this year. -
