J Allen of alabama would look pretty good in the black n gold in place of Jarvis jones.... he's a beast and would be a great bookend to Dupree

^^^
Alabama puts out some decent linebackers in the NFL. I'd like a look at him too

That TD right there by the Bama RB (Scarborough?) is the nail in the coffin. Poor tackling by the Wash defense.

Alabama was just too big in the physical game. Washington played into Alabama's hands. A team that can run a good spread offense and keep Bama's big boys huffing and puffing would probably stand a chance. Once Alabama takes the lead, they will wear you out

Yep, MTC, that's pretty much what happened. Seems like Washington scored that first TD by mixing the pass/run games well ... then spent the rest of the game running into a wall. Like they were trying to prove they could be as physical as 'Bama. Screw that, only thing they should have been trying to prove is that they could play their game against 'Bama and possibly win that way.

Edit: Pens on in a few ... I'll be switching back and forth. Hope Murray heals up quick.

Meh just a formality... that weaselly POS Saban isnt getting beat by anyone. If the NFL made a minor league to get all the paid ought to be pros out of college, id be more ineterested

Yeah, they had Bama. I think Bama wins it again

tOSU has no trust in JT Barrett to make the downfield throw. None. Hell, I don't blame 'em. He hasn't been able to do it consistently since the Oklahoma game. And when he does, he's not accurate. My fear is that he doesn't leave this year since he's not going to the next level. But, the Freshman (this year) Haskins may make that choice irrelevant anyway.

I think PSU had the downfield passing game to have at least played bama tougher. Now whether or not PSU's defense would have stopped bama is hard to say.

Thanks. I'm pretty good with however the game turns out. We're trotting out a lot of Freshmen and Sophomores so I though next year would be the year they made a push.

That's how you beat Bama. It's pretty evident if they played from behind they would gas out. They are a ground & pound team. One of the disadvantages to being beefy upfront is staying on field is a *****. If anytime can keep Bama's defense on the field and spread them out. They are done. But that is easier said than done too
