You can't honestly believe his going out of the game didn't make a difference. We were within 3 points with a few minutes left in the game (with an 18 year old leading the team).
You can't honestly believe that Ingram's being out the third quarter didn't make a difference. If he would've been in, we would've gotten more first downs, burned more clock and given Texas less opportunities to score. Then there would be no argument that Alabama wasn't the better team, people would be saying Colt wouldn't have made a difference. But you don't hear anyone talking about Bama's problems.
The score is definitely not indicative of the game. You did win because you did take advantage of turnovers, like a good team will.
We won because we're the better team. We scored more points, like the better team will.
We just don't understand your fan base attitude...you act like you crushed us.
Crushed, annihilated, I'm not sure what the medical term for what happened to Colt's shoulder is but it was going to happen eventually any way you slice it.
Mack always says that first thing...gives the other team some congrats on a good game...he's first class all the way.
Is this the same Mack Brown that said "It wouldn't have been close," had Colt McCoy been in? Pure class.
I just think some Bama fans are irritated that Texas feels like they were unfairly cheated out of the game. You can deny it all you want but its tangible in every single comment I've seen Texas fans make. The fact is we won the ballgame under perfectly fair and normal conditions. "The score is definately not indicative of the game." It is because Bama is the better team.
With no disrespect to Colt I think what happened is kind of funny, or at least ironic. Texas, as their left tackle said, built their team around Colt. His passing ability and his running ability. A quarterback completing 70% of his passes shouldn't have to do much more. But Colt had to be your running back, too. That should NOT have been the case. When I sit back and think of how shortsighted it was to take the heart and soul of your team, the one man that you cannot afford to do without, and put him past the line of scrimmage, exposing him to 300-pound lineman moving at velocities of 4-9 mph, bloodthirsty linebackers and run-support corners like Javy I am truly astounded. Colt is relatively skinny for a football player. He's not this incredibly built player who can bench 400 pounds and has a body meant to withstand high-velocity blows like Tebow or Trent Richardson. Mack Brown put all his eggs in one basket and then placed that basket in the most vulnerable position it could be in under legal conditions. Have fun with him.
