We'll never know if Texas would have beaten us. Colt and his father decided playing the Bama D might expose him both as a QB and physically and decided not to play.


Honestly, do you really believe Colt was afraid? He left college football with the most wins by a QB at any level, he had the most accurate passing season in college football history, and he thumped a lot of talented defenses along the way.

Colt had run a ton in his career, but why the Texas OC chose that game, at that moment, to run an option, where the QB by design will take a hit, will always be a mystery.

A mystery? It was a play in the playbook. That's not really a mystery.

I don't think Colt was afraid at all. I think Colt's dad felt it was better for Colt to sit the rest of the game.

The scent of blood was in the air after that hit, there was no reason to let the animals on Bama's defense get worked up for a feast on a gimpy QB.
