At the same it’s a strategic error Texas has relied on a single person to carry the team. Florida made the same mistake with Tebow, but only suffered that single scare early in the season with a concussion. At least 'Bama can rotate among receivers and backs.
Supposed to be the biggest game of the year. Between Mussberger and the refs, it is a snoozer. Of course Texas getting their NO1 QB knocked out in the first series has taken the wind out of it too.
Definitely not enough commercials either.
I just wanted to say that “Colt McCoy” is such a perfect Texas Quarterback name that we’d be making fun of it if it was a movie. Its straight to sheriff of a small town after this for him.
Well that’s too bad. It was entertaining for a while there, though. The Tide are lucky they got to play against a freshman backup QB. This title should have an asterisk next to it.

Only after the game was in the bag for 'Bama did Musberger start talking nice about 'Bama.
No asterisk on this game. Players get hurt. It’s life. Deal with it.
'Bama never piled on all season. Now? Just icing a championship.
Well this game seemed custom tailored to feed the SEC-hating trolls and make winning a national championship feel like stepping in dogshit. Just uninspired play on both sides of the ball once McCoy went out, super-conservative playcalling, and a dull cap to a great team’s season.
Gilbert looks very promising for Texas, and there were plenty of drops and miscues from players who were supposed to be carrying the Freshman.
In crap I’m tired of hearing about land: No more McCoy-Shipley roommate connection. Still gonna have to hear that McElroy hasn’t lost a game since the 8th grade 4 or 5 times a game.
Get the fuck out of here. That was an excellent game. Alabama took it in the pants in the first quarter, then they stepped up and played smashmouth football to close out the half. In the third and fourth, Texas comes raging back (with a freshman quarterback!), but Alabama steps back up and imposes their will to win the game.
How can you say it was a bad game? It was a masterful display of coaching adaptations and strategy. It was the best National Championship game in recent history.
