Alabama-Texas

[bobcat4life]

Who wins?

[TheDOCTORdre]

Texas rolls the tide

[bigwood33]

I am a homer all the way tonight! Hook 'Em Horns!

[NastySlot]

texas wins...........time off was the great equalizer......it allowed texas to fix the problems from the last to games of the season...........points they win by..it doesn't matter 1 or 100 texas wins.

[TheDOCTORdre]

Gideon just totally redeemed himself from the drop against Tech last year

[TheDOCTORdre]

Colt's hurt...not good for the Horns

[bobcat4life]

what happened to Colt? I didnt think it looked that bad

[Yoe_09]

McCoy has some sort of injury it appears...didnt look that bad initially but who knows....its a shoulder

[bobcat4life]

texas lookin good so far

not as big as the illegal formaion penalty against the Horns

Losing McCoy really hurt there -- I have to believe that made the play calling a lot more conservative.

Alabama's defense hs dominated since the McCoy injury

[TheDOCTORdre]

field position is gonna change really quick

[ziggy29]

Probably because Alabama knows that the Texas playbook just got a lot smaller and a lot more conservative.

[TheDOCTORdre]

If Colt doesn't come back, the only way the Horns have remote chance at keeping it close is to open up the playbook. I know that gives UT a chance at making mistakes but they have no chance against the Bama defense with a conservative approach

[bobcat4life]

what did I say?

[skins4life]

Man, you could've driven a truck through that hole..

[skins4life]

Brent has a new word "stoned"

[99IHSMustang]

They are not even trying to let the backup QB throw. Give the guy a chance and see what he can do. If Texas continues to play this game conservative like this, they are going to lose badly.

[NastySlot]

texas has a good chance if they keep it close...and win the special teams and turnover battles..............if colt makes it back......than watch out bama.

Lots and lots of time...the tide will ebb and flow. All is ok...so far.

[bobcat4life]

McCoy has no pads on and looks done for the night.

[TheDOCTORdre]

VY has a year of elegibility left lol

[turbostud]

Bama QB is holding on to the ball way to long.

[ziggy29]

The UT secondary must be playing lockdown coverage. McElroy can't find ANYONE open.

[bobcat4life]

Brad McCoy is going to the Texas locker room. Colt is done.

I don't think they want to run too many QB draws given that you're already down to your #2 QB and he's banged up, too....

IMO, Shipley is a huge reason they made it here. Gilbert's good & needs a chance. UT won't win by not utilizing one of their biggest weapons (Ship).

[bobcat4life]

if Colt doesnt come back, its over

[Looking4number8]

wow, this game turned ugly fast! Gilbert can do it but the OC has to let him

[99IHSMustang]

WR dropped pass for a TD. They are not helping this inexperienced QB at all.

[Looking4number8]

Should have been a catch for a TD, then an int... ouch!

[NastySlot]

texas needs to hold bama...and get to halftime and regroup......not having colt hurts.........others have to step up including the staff.

[TheDOCTORdre]

gotta make that pass to ship

[skins4life]

The D needs to wrap up when the tackle also. Quick ducking their heads a whiffing.

[skins4life]

Thats the way they're supposed to tackle!!

[NastySlot]

storm weathered. get in and regroup.

[bobcat4life]

Turn our the lights, the parties over...

what the heck.........just get in the dang locker room.......why?

yeah....what a horrible decision to try to do anything with the QB that they have in there now. He really isnt going to be able to do anything through the air and this could get real nasty. Should have just taken a knee.

[blowfish]

Hummm, I am wondering if Mack Brown wishes he would have gotten that freshman QB some reps in those blowout games?

[TheDOCTORdre]

Put in Chiles at qb if Colt doesn't come back he has about as much experience as Gilbert, and will at least make the defense think twice since he is a legit threat to run

[NastySlot]

imo.........the texas staff needs to regroup more than the players.

[poisoned10]

UT seems to be completely lost without Colt in the game.

[Ranger Mom]

I am literally sick to my stomach!:(

[NateDawg39]

Gilbert is 1-10 for -4 yards

[skins4life]

I don't think there's any way they can score 18 and then hold 'Bama scoreless to win this one. I sure hope I'm wrong! :(

You know Brent and Herbie are doing the scene from "The Waterboy" "They better hope Colt (Bobby Buechea) (sp) comes back 'cuase they suck"

[NateDawg39]

The Genius Pete Carroll says "Texas needs to figure out whats wrong with their offense" :doh:

[TheDOCTORdre]

We mustn't forget Texas is a 2nd half team

Shuffle pass is definitely a low-risk play...but you're right....just kneel.

[Bullaholic]

Many thoughts right now....This game just doesn't have the "feel" of the quality product I was expecting for an NC game---and that's not just because I am a UT fan. From Musberger, the bush league camera work by ABC on down to the Colt injury and the play of the UT freshaman QB--just isn't going together to make a quality product.

I say UT neds to call the plays that have a chance of working and to heck with the notion of the freshman QB can't execute---he may make some more big errors but eventually he may find himself. 'Bama is way too good to just have about 3 running plays in your playbook. There is a small chance that McCoy may try to return and be the "hero" but I think that is a slim chance.

This is just a crying shame for the UT players who have come so far---but the great ones find a way to overcome any adversity.

Having McCoy back would be great, but he'd a fool to risk further injury prior to the Combine and the draft. He's got a future to protect. I don't blame him one bit for protecting his interests.

I am a UT fan and I dont think he should come back..this is his throwing shoulder..so A even if he comes back how effective will he be..and B Risking injury that could be worse.

I agree.

You can't expect to play "conservative" and win just 5 minutes into the game. Especially now being down 24-6. I say come out and call the game as if Colt was in there playing and force the freshman to step up. Even if that fails miserably, I believe it will give you a better chance than calling plays to where the defense never has to back more than 5 yards away from the line of scimmage.

[NateDawg39]

My heart hurts for him! All this excitement that is put into just getting to the game, and on the first drive you get hurt and can not play an entire half. I feel bad for Colt and if he can't play I hope his team can come together and play their hearts out and go down fighting.



Maybe get a few cheap shots along the way :flaming:

[JJWalker]

Texas came into the game with their pants up.

And ... has now had them yanked down around their ankles.

Dang. :(

[bobcat4life]

its official. Colt is out for the game.

[Bullaholic]

I just muted the broadcast audio---bad enough having to watch this without adding the pain of listening to Mussberger's
disingenuous, condescending, inane remarks.

[wimbo_pro]

Gilbert has had 3 or 4 passes dropped. His line isnt blocking. I dont care if God was in there, this isnt because of the QB only.

Me too...you got a damned rookie QB in there...pick up your game and help him out!!! His is being molested back there.

[TheDOCTORdre]

IMO you gotta go play action longshot to the endzone on first down of this possesion and try and catch Bama off guard

[99IHSMustang]

Originally posted by Bullaholic

The offense looks like this, but the defense is still playing lights out. The only reason it is not 38 to 6 right now.

[wimbo_pro]

5 dropped passes (though they were better off on that one)

(I know Mussberger said 4 dropped...but i counted the one that COULD/SHOULD have been caught by shipley)

[OLE'BULL]

I know this is old news and off topic, but how is this guy allowed to play. AND WHO IS HIS LAWYER?!?!?!? hahah

http://www.sanmarcosmercury.com/archives/11450

[Diocletian]

This game is making me sick to my stomach.

Dropped passes, blown tackles, stupid mistakes, silly turnovers.


And what makes me even more sick is that the Defence is actually play well enough to win this game...

[NastySlot]

i hate to judge....cause they have a great staff......but the coaches didn't or haven't put the team in position to be successful right now........think on the run.. adjust keep it close do what it takes to get those guys where they need to be.


crud the bama coaches are coaching this game now.....not lose.......go attack them....they re sitting back eating clock.

[NateDawg39]

why run at the defense head on?

[TheDOCTORdre]

the magical Tim Tebow got mentioned in a game his team isn't playing in

[NateDawg39]

You have got to catch passes that hit you in the hands. Let the refs call pass interference, but go ahead and catch the pass anyways.

This is Nick Sabans fault for getting conservative and trying to sit on the lead.

How could he be anything BUT unpolished??

Why is Mark Ingram Sr. getting so much airtime from ESPN? He is a criminal and shouldn't even be allowed to watch.

Bamas DL dominated Texas OL.

True RM...but even QB's in high school...i mean the best of them...have a smooth, polished, fluid motion. I didnt see that. With that said, it doesnt matter if he gets the job done. I just noticed, thats all. A strange delivery.

He is a Freshman so maybe that will improve. He still looked better than Tebow.

Idk they should be giving his mother more air time cause she has raised a fine young man so far.

[PhiI C]

congratulations to Bama even though a lack of class getting the last td.
Way to fight back Horns.

I know this is making an excuse but with Colt I believe the score would have been reversed in our favor.

[rcbulldog34]

I don't think so. If Colts in there Texas wins going away

I agree completely. Of course he keeps in touch with his son... that's his meal ticket when he gets out.

I dont think so SWM...I think thats his style. Not digging at it...i got the impression he will be a real winner. Just saying....

I'll retract my earlier post---right after I posted it UT came back with a lot of heart and closed the gap to 3 pts. I was proud of the way Gilbert and UT tried to make the best of a bad situation. Sure can't take anything away from 'Bama---they are a great team and deserve the NC.

Don't think so; Alabama had 1 sack all day (the forced fumble at the end) and given that the OL was defending a freshman i don't think they did a bad job. Its a shame too since McCoy would have eaten that defense alive if he had been able to stay in

Maybe. He was taunting the texas crowd with the horns down and throat cutting. Being a good football player doesn't make you a fine young man.

this is what they should have done

Not really. Texas ran the ball well. The sacks and hits on the QB were from unblocked blitzers.

horns down is no big deal....everyone does it........but the throat cut is supposed to be banned.


no matter the team or program...college football is full of players taunting the crowd.

I agree Bull but I still think with Colt UT would have had an easy win. But injuries happen. That is the one player UT couldn't do wihtout.

I find it amazing that a organization like Texas that is called one of the top NCAA programs in the nation didn't have a better backup QB in the wings! Gilbert will be fine in a few years but he was not close to being ready to play in that game last night. Someone for Texas should have known that Colt could get hurt at any moment. If Gilbert was their decision at backup then they should have had him better prepared to play. He needed ton's of experience before gettting thrown to the Bama defense.

[Eagle 1]

Is Colt's younger brother coming to UT next year?

It wouldnt have made a difference if Colt was in the game, bama's defense was too strong. JMO.

Colt would have made a huge difference. Alabama was not nearly as strong as I thought. I really figured the score would be astronomically higher once Colt was out. Texas if not for mistakes at the very position (Qb) Colt played, would have made this a much better game. We can't know for sure, but a true freshman performed admirably.

[waterboy]

I do wish the Longhorns would've let Gilbert play more during the regular season. I think that came back to haunt them in this game. A more experienced Gilbert would've given Texas a better chance of winning this one, but that's the breaks.:( I do think Texas would've won this game if Colt hadn't have gotten hurt, but congratulations to Alabama for taking advantage and winning the MNC. I could see the air come out of the sails of the Longhorns when Colt got hurt. I knew then that the Longhorns chances of winning this game were very slim, yet they showed a lot of heart.

Like I said on the other thread, Alabama was favored to win the game before the game started. It seems some people have forgot that.
BTW, is Colt a two way starter? Do you think UT would have scored more than 37 points if Colt was in there against a defense like bama?
UT could only score 13 points against Nebraska.

[pirate4state]

Alabama's D was good, but it isn't that hard to be when you know what's coming. :doh:

Alabama's OC turned into the WOS OC in the 2nd half, but the Texas D was relentless early on, freaked out when Colt went out, then settled back down.

McElroy was a non-factor, IMO. Trust me, I know scoreboard is the only thing that matters, but what was their 3rd down conversion rate?

Anyway, it's all moot now.

Texas haters will say Alabama was SO much stronger, when in reality this game woulda, shoulda, coulda, been a barn burner and damn near was!

[waterboy]

Amen, P4S! The Texas haters can say what they want, but there ain't no denying the Colt injury changed the dynamics of this game. It's not an excuse, it's just a fact. Only somebody who knows nothing about football would think any different. Would the Longhorns have won if not for the injury? Who knows for sure, but I do know it would've been a different game. Congrats to Alabama for taking advantage and winning the MNC.

This will be the topic of discussion all over talk radio! lol should be fun to listen to

[Bullaholic]

It's been said many times, but I am in the camp that wants the regular NCAA season to end on the same date for all teams and the NC played 2 weeks later---UNLESS by some miracle we get a playoff system.

I'm sure it will. It's over and done with now, though, and doesn't matter to me. What I THINK would've happened, and what others THINK would've happened without the Colt injury will not make a difference in the outcome of last night's game. Alabama won, Texas lost. Congrats to Alabama. Try again next year 'Horns!

[Black_Magic]

Its sad that the National championship was effected by a thing like that so early. If it happened in the 4th then maybe it would not be such a big thing. I know that if Ingrahm was put out in the second drive it would have taken alot out of the game. As a Texas fan I would not want that to happen because I would not want anything to take away from the luster of beating Alabama at FULL strength. Kinda Like General Patton getting upset when he learned that His first victory over the Germans wan not agains General Romel but some subordinate. its Just not as sweet as beating a team at full strenght.

Goldie, being picked as a favorite doesn't actually put points on the board. Regardless, I believe the consensus among many is that if Colt had been in there Bama wouldn't have scored 37 in the first place. Gilbert passed for nearly 200 yards on the bama defense with 2 touchdowns, so yes, I think Colt could have had success. Bama's secondary couldn't cover the Texas receivers consistently. Texas dropped too many passes. However Texas defense played well enough to win. With Colt, it is certainly a different game. Might not have won, but certainly could have.

[Farmersfan]

Colt would have made a huge difference in that game. I would not think Colt would have thrown 4 ints and for sure Colt recognizes that unblocked blitz that caused the fumble at the end of the game and gotten rid of the ball. I'm not a Texas fan but I recognize the Texas loss was primarily due to the Colt injury! Gilbert had about 4 minutes of brilliance and 52 minutes of not knowing where the hell he was at or what he was doing. He had many dropped passes but he also had some caught that were thrown horribly off target. A freshman backup CANNOT be expected to play in a National Championship game. The game moves too fast and there is too much pressure.

[Old Tiger]

in the locker room, Colt told his dad Said Brad McCoy, who coached his son at Jim Ned High School in tiny Tuscola, Texas: "He looked up at me and said, 'Dad, I had 'em. I had 'em. I knew everything they were doing before they did it. I was fixin' to complete every pass I was going to throw tonight.'"

and I believe this, not just because I'm a Texas fan but because you could see what was unfolding in thos 1st five plays and it was amazing. Say what you want but Saban was scared of McCoy, didn't want him to see the field and evidence of that was the fake punt on the first drive, I believe Saban believed if the Horns score first, the game is over.

[Bullaholic]

Still can't get over the shovel pass with :15 left in the half. Surprising that a coach of Mack Brown's experience would call such a play so deep in his own territory with an untested and nervous freshman QB under center. I'm sure Mack would like to have this play back, too---I think it was the biggest turning point of the game other than McCoy's injury.
