Roll Tide! Alabama crushed the Washington Huskies, 24-7, in the 2016 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, college football playoff game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Dec. 31st. Keep reading for all the details on this epic matchup!

What an amazing game! Alabama, the reigning National and SEC champions, defeated a strong Washington Huskies team 24-7 in the Peach Bowl. Washington jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter but then the Crimson Tide, led by young quarterback Jalen Hurts, 18, came roaring back and controlled the rest of the game. Alabama will now return to the National Championship game on Jan. 9, 2017, against the winner of Fiesta Bowl, which features Clemson versus Ohio State.

Turnovers and defense made the difference in this wild battle. Washington’s QB Jake Browning, 20, the sophomore from Folsom, California connected early with his receiver Dante Pettis, 20, for a touchdown but then the Huskies struggled to get anything going after the first quarter. A fumble followed by an interception returned for a touchdown demoralized the overmatched Washington team. The second half of the game continued to be all ‘Bama.

The Tide wore down Washington’s defense from every angle. On the ground and in the air Alabama proved to the Washington fans why they are the reigning champions and why they deserve a seat at the big title game on Jan. 9th

Bama’s offense is its own worst enemy. Almost all their drives stopped because of their own penalties, not the Husky D. Maybe Sark will let Hurts play his own game.

Hey Huskies, we just beat the hell out of you.

I am so glad Lame Kiffen will be gone.

Run the damn ball.

I thought Washingtons offense would look better than they did.

After SC installed its new QB in game four and began playing to its potential, it exposed Washington, in Seattle--held them to 17 (seventeen!) yards rushing and rolled over them.

As with most things, more is not better.

There used to be about 5 major bowls at the end of the season. A couple of years ago, I counted 50. 50 bowls! Half of them play teams that are in the 6-6 win-lose range. Why would a team that only won half of its games be ‘honored’ with a bowl appearance?

Maybe. I don’t watch much tv at all...

However, in this game, the teams are being honored and rightly so.

Both are a wee bit better than 6-6 teams!

Penn should have been in the title hunt instead of Washington.

Actually after paying expenses for sending the team, and the band, colleges wind up losing money by going to bowls.

Alabama welcomes the Washington Huskies to SEC West-style football. Enjoy your visit, Huskies.

After paying the expenses of ALL sports at Alabama, the football team still contributes many millions to the university.
