See Ya Colt....

Well Texas' luck ran out. The team, which defines soft, lost its QB Colt McCoy on a seemingly routine hit. Eerily similar to a Chrissy Simms injury. All the breaks went to Alabama, even the cheap pass interference calls.

Nick Saban forgot who he was for a night, with an arrogantly sloppy game plan that allowed Texas to keep it close--and damn near lost the game despite McCoy playing one series. A botched punt from their own 20 on 4th & 23, while McCoy was still in the game. An unfielded kickoff for a turnover....another lost kickoff that ricocheted off a return blocker.

Saban's defense over-blitzed against a first-game QB. There is no reason to continually bring 2-3 extra guys, when one will suffice while keeping others back to confuse Garrett Gilbert in coverage. And Bama's DBs were vulnerable in one-on-one coverage...they couldn't cover Jordan Shipley. As a unit, the Blackshirts make the Tide defense look pedestrian.

Alabama's QB, Greg McElroy, looked awful. Panicked at the first sign of pressure. Showed no playmaking ability. Missed easy throws while going 6/11 for 58 yards. PYB thought Zac Lee was at home resting after surgery for his fake injury??

Mark Ingram looked legit, as he made the runs NU could not in the B12 title game. This was the difference in the game. Too bad Musburger had to mention 50 times than his father was 'incarcerated' and couldn't be at the Rose Bowl.

Another Big 12 BCS title loss. Texas got its just desserts, as karma bit the 'Horns in the ass. They joined OU by tanking a chance at the title with no running game, soft defense and questionable coaching (nice shovel pass before half time, Mack). Maybe they're just keeping the seat warm for a Big-12 team with a real strategist as coach, who can run the ball, who has a smothering defense, who rises to the occasion instead of beating up on pretenders all year......hell, Zac Lee can go six for 11 for 58 yards....who knows?
