Haven't watched hardly any of the Huskies this year. So how do you think your OL will match up with Alabama's DL and vice versa?

Our OL has two very good tackles, but a little weak on the interior. The left guard and C were both all conference, but I think that Alabama's interior DL will eat them alive. The RG spot has been a revolving door year round and will be the biggest weakness on offense.

Our DL has 3 very good DTs.
Elijah Qualls is the 6th ranked DT for 2017, 3rd for 2018 and is projected to go in rounds 2-3 if he leaves early
Vita Vea is the 3rd ranked DT for 2017 and is projected to go in round 2
Greg Gaines is the 7th ranked DT for 2019

When we play those 3 at the same time, the run defense is pretty good.

The DE's are a big weakness. We had Joe Mathis, who was rated by PFF as the top edge rusher in the country, but then got injured about halfway through the season and is done for the year. There is a big dropoff after him.

Seems like Jake locker has been there forever.

USC's D-line pushed them all over the field and Browning is a different QB if you make him move a bit. D-line is pretty good, but has some injuries.

Type of team Bama feasts on. Bad matchup for UW

USC made Browning run for his life.

If UW can't establish the run...and they can't against Bama just like they couldn't against USC...

Washington had 17 yards rushing in 27 attempts against USC...

Browning will be will be like Grogan against the Bears. USC sacked him 3 times, Bama will have 6.

Worst team in the playoffs.

Should have been Michigan, missed out by an inch.

There should be a requirement for physical teams. Teams that don't collapse against muscle.
