Yes, we all remember how amazing he was against Nebraska - whose defense was almost, but not quite, as good as Alabama's.

Better than never making the title in almost a century…
If colt plays it’s a game, our offense was colt and Shipley. Take away at the time the most accurate qb in college football history and the game changed significantly

Sure colt, in the natty, shut it down to make a business decision. Meanwhile when bama has injuries they are legit lol.
Also comparing losing colt to what you lost isn’t even close. It’s history but don’t make shite up

Before that playoff season against Washington you would be right

Why is this so hard for you to understand? While bamas LOS was better than Texas, it’s easy to dominate the los when you throw a freshman in and stack the box. Colt would have scored plenty and forced bama to be 2 definitional on d. Texas d would have been much more rested and fresh and possibly not given up 200 yards rushing. It’s a massive swing to lose the heart and soul and heisman finalist of your team period.
Let’s take pavia away from bama and throw in a freshman. As a d coordinator you put 8-9 in the box and dare that kid to beat you. Now you are getting more 3 and outs and you are wearing your opponents front 7 out.
It’s silly to not take those facts into account and just assume bama do I area the LOS given the final stats of the game.

Wow didn’t know that. Have evidence, a link, anything to prove or corroborate that? Or is this Sarges alter that just makes bs up and passes it off as fact?

The difference is we.saw what happened when Williams and Metchie played we didnt have to guess. Georgia could not cover them.

No. It was on the first page when I linked to it...thus...the comment about it being on the first page. But, it does prove my point, does it not? Alabama fans still talking about Colt more than Texas fans? It was (supposed) to be a gentle reminder of exactly what we were talking about.
I mean, it wasn't a Texas fan that started this thread.
You bumped it to the first page dumbass. The post before yours was more than 6 hours older, so it wouldn't have been on the front page.
You obviously replied, then seen it was on the 1st page after, didn't realize it was the same thread and linked it
And this thread was about Alabama winning the NC in 2009.

The entire reason Colt got hurt to start with is because your offensive line got it's arse kicked.
Alabama had 2 running backs go for over 100 yards in the game. Was Colt going to defend the run?

It was a 24-21 game with 6 minutes remaining.
Great win by the tide, but it's a closer game with Colt in.
Also, Aggies need to stay out of this thread. This is a discussion between blue blood programs about national title clashes, so there is really no reason for you to be in here chatting.

Colt would move the ball and sustain drives. Our oline pass blocking was fine, our run blocking bama had an advantage. Colt was deadly accurate and could get the ball out quick even if your pass rush got there he was mobile and could sling it. So again, if he’s moving the ball, even if bama is playing bend but don’t break d that rest is MASSIVE for a defense especially the front 7. Our fresh qb threw 4 picks. That quick change will wear a d out. Not saying your oline and rbs were not good. But when the d is on the field all game those 2-3 yard gains start to be 5-6 and then in the second half start to break for long touchdowns.

If Colt wasn’t a wimp he could have finished the game.

Because flukes don't happen do they?
I mean, there is no way Alabama was better than FSU or Oklahoma this year, right? It was proven on the field when they played, right?
I mean, let's turn the logic around on the Tide fans. The reason they beat Georgia in that first game was because of our injuries.

Glad to see Alabama fans admit their WRs were soft.

Sort of difficult to just walk off a torn ACL or ligament damage

I don’t shy away from that. Football is a rough game. You’re either tough enough to finish a big game or you’re not.

Well he had 2 passes for a total of 9 yards in the game, while you had 16 yards rushing before was injuried. He was injured because the Alabama defense dominated the play.
And you're just making shite up about the rushing game. Here were the first 20 Alabama rushes, tell me when your defense got tired.
1st rushing play - 0 yards
2nd - 18 yards
3rd - 9 yards
4th - 8 yards
5th - 9 yards
6th - 5 yards
7th - 9 yards
8th - 1 yards(on the Texas 3)
9th - 2 yards for a TD
10th - 1 yard
11th - 4 yard
12th - 0 yards
13th - 49 yards for a TD
14th - 10 yards
15th - 9 yards
16th - 11 yards
17th - 5 yards
18th - 1 yard
19th - 6 yards
20th - 5 yards
And Alabama was one dimensional the entire game offensively, as McElroy had cracked ribs and could throw the ball for shite. He was 6-11 for 58 yards.

Do you not understand the reference or something? Alabama played Texas in the 2009 NCG.... Colt got injured on the 5th offensive play.
