In this episode Tom and Dave from the Alabama Football Podcast breakdown the Tide’s victory over the Washington Huskies.
Play Calling
Alabama featured the running game on 80% of its plays against Washington, a surprising total even for fans asking for Lane to run the ball more often.
Personnel Utilization
The semi-final featured the most Dubose-like play that we’ve seen in Saban’s 10-year tenure at Alabama. Tune in to the podcast to see which of our favorite players was involved.
Early Scoring
Check out why the early 7-point deficit was neither a concern nor surprise against the Huskies.
Drive Start
One of Saban’s favorite mantras was on full display Saturday night as Washington started 8 possessions inside their 20-yard line.
Affecting the Quarterback
Another Saban favorite was on display as the Tide defense harassed Washington’s Jake Browning all night long. However, despite 5 sacks, 2 ints, and countless hurries Browning did avoid sharing his frustration to the national viewing audience, unlike Conner Cook last year.
Lane Out, Sark In
I’m glad I don’t sell newspapers for a living because this is the most overwrought and boring story going today. Heck, it was barely even a surprise.
Check out the podcast to hear us explain away all the breathless chatter.
