Washington is struggling on offense in the Peach Bowl. The Huskies could only muster 150 yards through three quarters against mighty Alabama in the College Football Playoff Semifinal, and the Crimson Tide is doing them no favors when it comes to gamesmanship, either.

Washington quarterback Jake Browning was backed up next to his own end zone late in the third quarter on a third-and-6 when Alabama tricked his center into a botched snap.

Browning was using a silent snap count on his own 13 yard line when Huskies center Coleman Shelton was goaded into snapping the ball by Alabama linebacker Ryan Anderson, who clapped as if he was Browning while Browning was still talking to his running back.

Shelton heard the noise and hiked the ball. The result was not great for Washington.


This led to a Washington punt, their sixth of the game. The Huskies have turned it over twice on the afternoon while Alabama still has a clean card.
