Washington Huskies vs Alabama Crimson Tide 2016 What to Watch:
The top-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide have been the greatest team in college football all season, but they need to defeat the No. 4 Washington Huskies in the Peach Bowl to have a chance at a national championship.
Despite the Huskies' stellar, one-loss season, the Crimson Tide are more heavily favored than any other team on the bowl schedule in the Peach Bowl, the first of two College Football Playoff semifinals that will be played on New Year's Eve.
Here is all you need to know before the game, including the most recent odds and predictions for the Peach Bowl's outcome, as well as where and when to watch it.
The fact that the Huskies rely mostly on an explosive offensive, while the Tide are driven by their defense, is just one of the many ways that Alabama and Washington seem to be diametrically opposed.
In terms of points allowed, total yards allowed, and running yards allowed per game, Alabama has the best defense in the country, while Washington ranks fourth offensively with 44.5 points per game.
Possessing the football and reducing the efficiency of Washington's high-octane attack, which is spearheaded by wide receiver John Ross and quarterback Jake Browning, is said to be the main factor in Alabama's success.
The Alabama attack can assist in that area, but defensive lineman Jonathan Allen and the formidable Crimson Tide defense may be able to accomplish that primarily on their own.
Both a good running game and a smart, efficient performance free of turnovers by rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts are essential.
Additionally, Hurts might be under duress because Washington is strong in its own manner at 17th place and Alabama is third in the country in sacks.
A good dosage of running back Bo Scarbrough can help with that and help you win the battle for possession time.
The Huskies are still confident even though Alabama has the capacity to wear down Washington's defense with their running game and then outplay it in the passing game if necessary with players like Calvin Ridley, ArDarius Stewart, and O.J. Howard.
Ross is the main Washington player who is adamant that an upset is feasible despite the Crimson Tide's seeming invincibility.
The Browning-to-Ross connection probably needs to be firing at full capacity if Washington is to defeat Alabama.
Earlier in the season, Ole Miss used a spread offensive, which is similar to what the Huskies like to run, to move the ball and score points in a one-score loss to Alabama.
