2009 was such a disappointment, I was even more confident going into that game than I was with Vince and USC 4 years earlier...then the freak hit by Marcell Darius crushed all that. Even so our true Freshman QB and heroics by Jordan Shipley kept us in the game until the end.
Yep.. that one hurt pretty bad for multiple reasons..
1) We had a good chance to win that game if Colt hadn't gotten hurt..
(yes, yes I know.. laugh away, but it's true)
2) Mack completely changed his whole philosophy based on that 1 game, and the next 12 years would mostly suck because of that 1 decision. Turns out, the spread worked against Alabama.. and even Alabama changed their ways years later..

Colt pulped sooner rather than later

It can certainly be argued but Bama has a completely different game plan as well if Colt doesn’t go down.
You could argue Saban went way too conservative and just played not to lose the entire game and honestly almost cost them.
