Texas would have beat you if McCoy doesn't get hurt. Not a good example.

Bama will bitchslap Nueter Dame and will leave Manti with treadmarks on his chest from Yeldon and Lacey....way way way way overrated defense and if any SEC school had that playlot schedule they could claim how good their defense was.

Yeah, I do not think that is a good example. Texas had to play practically the entire game with a qb who had never played before. The UT offense was 3 and out over and over and over for a long time with their D on the field and bama constantly running to protect the lead.
Bama ran 51 times for 205 yards and 49 of those came on one run from Trent. Take out that one run and you are looking at 50 attempts for 150 yards.
Texas shut down bama's run pretty well.

Not this shite again.

Another indictment on Mack Brown's coaching and QB developing ability. Maybe if he hadn't played Colt McCoy deep into the 4th quarter of the majority of games that season, he would have given Gilbert adequate playing time...or MAYBE Gilbert was horribly fricking overrated to begin with.

Texas wouldn't even had been in the NC if Sam Bradford never got hurt during the regular season. Bama would have played Cincinnati and won by about 50 points.
You can play the what if game all the time.

I know this is a six page thread, so somebody's probably brought up stats already, but McCoy played two good defenses that year (Oklahoma and Nebraska) and he was absolutely God awful against both. He had an 84qb rating against OU and an 81qb rating against Nebraska. And that's college qb rating, not NFL. For reference, the very worst QB in the NCAA this year was Kansas' Dayne Christ and he had a QB rating of 97. Kyle Frazier (2TDs, 8ints on the year) had a college QB rating of 99.
So in other words, against good defenses, Colt sucked harder than Linda Lovelace. We're talking 2-3 picks, <5yards/attempt, 40% completion, etc.
So yea. It was not a foregone conclusion that McCoy would have played much better against Alabama. In fact, all the evidence said he would have played just as badly.
