Alabamas stingy defense will face perhaps its toughest test against Jake Browning and Washington.The top-ranked Crimson Tide, fresh from facing teams with pedestrian passing games, will play the Huskies Dec. 31 in the Peach Bowl in Atlantas Georgia Dome. Thats where Alabama (13-0) just dispatched Florida 54-16 in the Southeastern Conference championship game.The defending national champs are trying to go wire-to-wire No. 1 and become the first NCAA team to go 15-0. Alabama has made each of the first three College Football Playoffs and won 25 straight games.There was a lot of talk out there about the playoffs and not much talk about the SEC championship game, which was a little concerning to me as a coach, Tide coach Nick Saban said Sunday on ESPNs selection show. I was really proud of the maturity that our players showed of competing in that game and wanting to win that championship.The next step is what do we create as a legacy for this team in terms of how they do in the playoffs.The Huskies (12-1) rose from a No. 14 preseason AP ranking to earn a national title shot.This is not at all a surprise to me, Saban said on a teleconference, speaking of his respect for Petersen.They routed Colorado 41-10 for the Pac-12 championship. Washington won a share of the 1991 title under Sabans mentor and college coach, the late Don James.I think its awesome, third-year Washington coach Chris Petersen said. I think its awesome for the school. I think its awesome for Seattle and I think its awesome for our guys. There are a lot of guys in there that have been here for a while -- not a lot of them -- but there are some and their commitment and persistence and focus, I think its spectacular.He joked that he feels like he knows Saban well because hes on TV so often, but said this will be the biggest challenge the Washington players and coaches have faced.I think everybody knows about Alabama and its not just one year, its every year, how dominant they are, Petersen said. Well prepare hard and fortunately the Seahawks are here in town. Maybe theyll scrimmage us to get us ready for those guys. I dont know.The Huskies rank fourth nationally in scoring offense, averaging 44.5 points per game. Browning is the nations fifth-rated passer, and his 42 touchdowns are one shy of Jared Goffs Pac-12 record.Alabama leads the nation in total, scoring and rushing defense. But the Tide hasnt faced a Top 25 scoring offense since Week 2 against Western Kentucky, which ranks second. The Tide won 38-10 and held Tennessees No. 26 scoring offense to 10 points as well.Florida ranks 84th in passing offense and Auburn, which faced Alabama in the regular-season finale, stands 112th.Saban downplayed any benefit of having been through the playoff preparations and atmosphere twice before. The Tide lost to eventual champion Ohio State two years ago and last season beat Michigan State and Clemson.I do know that we did it better one year than we did it the other, Saban said.Here are some things to know about the Peach Bowl matchup:CLASHING STYLES: Browning has passed for 3,280 yards and been intercepted just seven times. Alabamas passing game, led by freshman Jalen Hurts, has sputtered at times but Hurts is a dangerous runner.HEISMAN HOPEFULS: The different styles of these teams is illustrated by their respective candidates to be Heisman Trophy finalists, Browning and Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen. Allen has recorded 8.5 sacks while returning two fumbles for a touchdown.QBS ON REBOUND: Browning and Alabamas Hurts have both been huge playmakers for their offenses, but neither posted big numbers in their league championship games. Browning was just 9 for 24 for 118 yards with two touchdown passes. The freshman Hurts was 11 of 20 for 138 yards with a touchdown and was mostly a nonfactor as a runner.SARKISIAN VS. HUSKIES: Former Washington and USC head coach Steve Sarkisian is facing one of his former teams. The Alabama offensive analyst coached the Huskies from 2009-13, so was involved in recruiting some of the veterans. Hell have the same role in this game hes had in every other game, Saban said.---AP Sports Writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25nike vapormax plus Προσφορες .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. nike vapormax προς πώληση .

Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd.Rory McIlroy believes his game is showing signs of improvement, despite a disappointing finish to a promising second round at the Wells Fargo Championship.The world No 3 picked up five shots in a four-hole stretch around the turn to briefly move within three strokes of midway leader Andrew Loupe, only to bogey his final two holes and close a three-under 69.Having followed an eagle-three at the seventh with a hat-trick of birdies to make his move up the leaderboard, McIlroy bounced back from a blemish at the 12th to leave a kick-in gain at the 14th. McIlroy, who struggled to an opening-round 73 on Thursday, then stuttered along the closing stretch, leaving his approaches in to the 15th and 16th short of the green before two-putting from 20 feet to bogey 17.Worse was to come when McIlroys second shot in to the last ended in the hazard, although a smart up-and-down ensured the two-time Quail Hollow champion would only drop one more stroke and stay within six of the lead.Obviously its not nice to finish the way I did with two bogeys, but the rest of the card looks pretty good, McIlroy told Sky Sports. I wish it was a little lower but its a step in the right direction. Im here for the weekend and hopefully I can put ttogether a weekend like I have here in the past.dddddddddddd Rory McIlroy I got it going in the middle of the round there and hit a lot of shots of much better quality than I hit yesterday, so I feel like I definitely improved on that.I worked on the range yesterday afternoon to try and work a couple of things out and it felt a little better out there for me today. McIlroy broke the course record to snatch a maiden PGA Tour title in this event in 2010, before going even lower on his way to a seven-shot victory last May.Both victories saw McIlroy overturn a large deficit to force his way up the leaderboard over the weekend, with the Northern Irishman now looking for a repeat performance this time around. The 27-year-old sits in a tie for 24th Im here for the weekend and hopefully I can put together a weekend like I have here in the past, McIlroy added. Ive had a couple of really low weekends here.If I can draw on those memories then I can go out and get off to a fast start tomorrow then Ill be right back in the tournament.Watch the Wells Fargo Championship throughout the weekend live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golfAlso See:Wells Fargo: R1 highlightsQuail Hollow leaderboardTackling the Green MileGolf live on Sky Sports 4 ' ' '
