Well they had momentum for the first 6-8pm mins basically. Momentum goes back and forth and after those 6/8 mins Texas never had it again.

[@phillipivey4833]

They never had a chance even with Colt. The only reason Texas scored 6 of their points was a Punter not punting the ball and Alabama not catching a short kickoff. Alabama completely changed their gameplan after Colt got hurt and ran the ball 70% of the time just to shorten the game. If you just Glimpse at the Florida game before this game you can see Alabama could have opened the Offense up more whenever they wanted. They were never forced to.

Alabama ran a fake punt on the 20 yard line and it got picked off at the 36. Colt McCoy got hurt on the 11 yard line. If that guy had just knocked it down does McCoy ever get hurt? A big what if

[@ryan979_]

should have been florida in a rematch with bama

[@chakatasby1265]

Yep Bama got away on that one

[@louieo.blevinsmusic2011]

Well considering we’ve won 5 more since and played 8 NC games since this one, while Texas hasn’t sniffed one since, I’d say Texas got away with not getting their asses handed to ‘em straight up and was given….. the what if/unknown as opposed to straight depression. “Got away.” Yeah, oooookay.

[@gafferin]

Colt McCoy can swing his arm on his way out and pretend he can not move it at all in the second half. Then he "recovers" totally at the combine. For those whinners say Colt could have won the game for horns. If he were there, Tide could win by 30.

Richard Lee UT shouldn’t have even played in this game. TCU beat more ranked teams, beat better ranked teams, and beat ranked teams by a wider margin. Also had a better offense and defense than UC, UT and Alabama, yet was mysteriously ranked behind all three of them

[@marktastic86]

@@brian2440 'Bama had the #2 defense in the country behind Nebraska. TCU was #6. Texas D was #12.

[@brian2440]

@@marktastic86 False. TCU was #1 with 239.2 YAPG, Alabama was #2 with 244.1 YAPG, UT was #3 with 251.9 YAPG. It appears you’re evaluating based on points, which isn’t necessarily a good indication of defensive performance. Even if you do use this metric, TCU was better than UT, so I’m not sure how that disputes the point of my argument that TCU should have played in the game over UT.

[@marktastic86]

@@brian2440 I don't really care. I'm going off of the Sports-Reference. com website and their results for TEAM DEFENSE for the 2009 season. It doesn't matter to me who Bama played, only that they won.

[@brian2440]

@@marktastic86 My point was that TCU was through and through a better team than UT, yet didn’t go the championship. They had a better offense, a better defense, beat more ranked teams, beat better ranked teams, beat ranked teams by a larger margin than UT. I’m pretty sure that checks just about every conceivable box for selection to the national title yet for some unexplained reason didn’t make it. I’m my opinion TCU would have performed better than UT against Alabama. Alabama would still be favored, but I honestly wouldn’t bet against TCU. *It was never explained although the reasoning was clearly because TCU played in the MWC. Never mind the fact that the MWC had multiple teams ranked in the Top 15, or that the MWC champion was undefeated in major bowls up that point including a 31-14 beat down of Alabama in 2008. Never mind the fact the conference had the best record in bowls 7 out of 10 years from 2000-2010. The league was so scared of that conference that they changed the rules for bowl selection of at large teams in 2009 to force TCU to play Boise State instead of the 2nd highest ranked At large team that would have been Cincinnati.

If Colt McCoy didn’t get hurt, Texas would’ve scored touchdowns on those first two drives and would’ve won.

Here’s an unbiased actual fact based report for you from a fan that hates both these teams. He had a pinched nerve in his shoulder and could properly through. Pinched nerves are extremely painful and go from excruciating pain too no pain at all day by day. It’s been reported and stated by McCoy wanted to come back in, but Texas wouldn’t let him.
