Alabama territory must be a nice place to be on a football field. It is probably an oasis of scoring opportunities and a land of milk and honey. Washington isn’t too familiar with it though, cuz the Huskies only got there two times in 14 tries.

On the second drive of the game, Washington scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass. Late in the game, they did it again on the garbage time drive with the game very much in hand.
Other than that, they only got within 10 yards on two other drives.
The Tide stifled Washington’s offense all day, with the Huskies not eclipsing 200 total yards until the final drive of the game.
If you think you’ve seen this movie before on this grand of a stage, it’s because you have. In the 2012 national championship game against LSU, the Tigers crossed midfield only one time that night. At least Washington can take some solace in actually scoring some points?
