That was as good a game of coverage in the secondary.....

Bama had good coverage against USC too. Maybe those Pac-12 athletes aren't as fast as people think.

I admit I underestimated the Washington front seven.

We rushed for 269. Included with hurts' dumbass backwards runs and sacks. You expect us to go for 400 on them or something? We actually could have come close if we ran the ball maybe 15 more times with bo early on.

They affected the pass game.

I disagree. I think shite play calling and the lack of patience from hurts to not scramble under the smallest pressure made it easy for their edge guys. That coupled with the fact that hurts is awful at leading receivers and anticipating. Their secondary made it to where our receivers didn't have a lot of space to work so naturally hurts doesn't trust himself to make a great throw. If anything the Washington secondary deserves credit for the negative plays. Hurts wasn't getting touched until he broke contain and had zero blocking. Washington secondary, hurts' decision making, Kiffin pass on 1st down play calling is responsible for that.

Best game of the year for the db's IMO.
