Now that was an ass whupping. UW did not belong in the playoffs. Mutts are just lucky they faced a freshman QB. Otherwise, it's a major humiliation for a team that slid through a weak conference with pandemic quarterback problems.
Should have run some trick plays, Purple Petey...

Yes it was quite a beating. This was not a fair fight in the end. UW's defense did well enough but they will make the UW offense carry their luggage home for not doing their part.
Alabama is a young team and their QB is 18 years old. What will their team be like once he learns to pass.

Exactly. If they play again in 2017, it's Alabama 44 UW 7.
This game was just a speed bump for Bama. They let their D control the game, and did not push their offense into risky situations with their freshman qb. (14 pass attempts.) Even with the sterile play calls, they scored 24 unanswered points.
Silly comment. If you're gonna take 4, who else belonged? Ohio State is getting boat raced. Michigan lost last night, for the third time.
If they really wanted the best 4. A modivated USC would have given them a run and UW knows that too.
Perhaps we should excise September from the calendar. Actually, Leach might be in favor of that too.
Really surprised Pete didn't reach into his bag of tricks. Man, Alabama's defense was beastly. Makes good teams look inept.
Quick kick. " Receiver " in motion QB sneak. Both were plays in this game.
That's silly too. If anything he wasn't cautious enough at the end of the first half.
Ah yes. Clearly not memorable.
Good season. No shame in getting beat by Alabama. Would have been an upset of Trumpian proportions had UW won. But given Brexit, Cubs, Trump, ...would have fit this year quite well if it had happened.
Haaaaa.
Humiliation in front of the Nation for 4,qtrs.

Browning's a child who he didn't trust.
Your girls got their asses kicked. Suck it up and go home to your Cal-Berkeley wife.
Sure, but they were missing Cracraft in the AC, otherwise it would have been a lot different outcome.
The Apple Cup was beatdown was swift, thorough, and earned.
The game yesterday was every bit the blowout, and probably worse given that UW could not block Bama. Replay that game 100x and UW loses all 100. It's an indictment on our entire conference.

They lost 24-7 and only gave up 17 offensive points. Hardly a "beatdown of epic proportions." Washington belonged in the playoff, they just aren't as good as Bama. They can join the club of every other college football program. I don't get the argument that they didn't belong. They won their conference title and had a few dominant wins over good teams such as Stanford, Washington State and Colorado. Who would you have put in over them? Penn State? They had 2 losses. Oklahoma? 2 losses. Michigan? Please. If you are going to take out a team it should have been Ohio State. They not only didn't win their conference title, but proved yesterday they really were not prepared in the slightest for the game being played.
But you have to admit. That Bama defense was no Gopher defense. Gophers would have shut UW out.
Not a fan of your typical smarminess but have to say that was well played. And you are correct, UW deserved to be in the 4 spot as much as anyone. It's just too bad that the rest of the college football world was that far behind Bama and Clemson. Made for a rather boring semis. Don't get used to it though. PAC 12 gonna go back through SC for the foreseeable future.
But using Matt Calkins' logic, WSU could have won if only they had scored 29 points in a third quarter in which they dominated ...
But seriously, comparing 194 yards in offense to the 334 WSU had in the AC is rather silly. Then again, your defense dominated a vanilla Alabama offense led by a freshman quarterback and coordinated by His Lameness. Dominating teams struggling at quarterback was kind of the huskies' thing this year. Hence, the perfect purple storm, which explains how a mediocre 4-5/7-6 gets hyped into 1991.

You'll have to tell me who claimed the 2016 squad was as dominant as 1991. I don't know anyone who said that.
Guess you slept through the Seattle Times' 1991 allusions, huh, Rip? (assuming the Washington Irving allusion also doesn't escape you).
Smarminess? C'mon! It's arrogance!
SC will be good. UW will be good. The PAC will be better.
