This was shaping up to be an epic B-side to the 2006 USC-Texas title game at the Rose Bowl, but for McCoy’s injury. This was also pretty much the end of Texas football as a power

[@markrobertson2196]

Not that we'll ever know for sure, but I do wonder what would've happened in this game if Colt McCoy didn't get injured and played the whole game

[@Beebalabeeba]

I always wonder if he said screw it I’m playing it out not worrying about the nfl how it would have gone

[@imyourhuckleberry1040]

@@markrobertson2196No doubt in my mind Texas would have won this game. Texas almost came all the way back after trailing 24-6 with an inexperienced true freshman QB Garrett Gilbert on the biggest stage. Alabama ended up winning because of freshman mistakes resulting in turnovers. Texas had the better team that year in my opinion. That injury at the start changed the whole game. And if Colt plays I think it would’ve gone entirely different. But yea sadly we’ll never know and can only speculate.

@@chuyozuna2398now the script has flipped. In 2023 these 2 teams would meet on a Saturday night in Tuscaloosa and Texas would beat them marking Texas to be back once we saw what they did the rest of the year and this would be where you can clearly see alabama dynasty was over. I been saying it was over since October 2021 when they was scraping by teams they would normally have beat by halftime and now to top it all off over 100 percent confirming that the dynasty was over Nick Saban announced retirement on January 10, 2024 2 days after the Michigan vs Washington national title game and 9 days after Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan beat them in the rose bowl CFP semifinal. Exactly 2 years ago from the day Saban retired (January 10, 2022) I was at my grandpa’s apartment in Sunnyvale, California with family watching Georgia beat bama for Kirby smart’s first natty and that was also the first time since losing to South Carolina in 2010 that bama lost a game to a SEC East opponent and the way it looked I always stood true to my statement saying that night is the night that bama died and as we know now it’s true.

Mack’s decision to not take a knee on the ball before halftime was costly

[@NeverlandSystemAngel]

What this showed is that Colt McCoy was a frail waif of a QB, and that following kick off TX would play VERY DIRTY... that launch off the feet to hit the Bama return man trying to make a catch was dirty as hell... that was a cheap shot on a defenseless player looking for the ball... they did that KNOWING they could take a hard dirty hit and maybe steal a possession. Shows the total lack of class and character of the TX coaching team... Glad they lost playing that way.

[@jordanbailey1034]

Wasnt any defenseless receivers or targeting in 2010 real football even tho he did launch football back then was just played differently

Not having Gilbert ready to go. Hell, I'll go so far as to say if Colt was really that dude, he would've played through the pain.

To beat them. The Texas offense was rolling "no pun" in the second half. This game should've ended with Texas on top 28-24. To the victor goes the spoils.
