Absolutely is. But it was an Alabama fan that called Colt McCoy soft for not playing after an injury. My guess is any player that does not play through an injury is soft by Alabama standards.

Do you not understand the reference or something? Alabama played Texas in the 2009 NCG.... Colt got injured on the 5th offensive play.
Maybe you should talk to the OP...because he said "if". I mean Colt did get injured, right? There was no "if". Alabama got lucky...

A simple no, I don't understand the reference would have been fine.

Did Colt McCoy get injured?
If he did...why did the OP say "If"?
Hint: Because Texas fans say "If Colt didn't get hurt we would have beaten Alabama!"
Kind of like Alabama fans saying "If Williams hadn't gotten injured we would have beaten Georgia!"
Is that the reference you are referring to?

Great stats. Here’s the problem: you are not factoring in colts impact whatsoever.
Before he gets hurt Texas moved the ball for 2 field goals. After he gets hurt Texas goes 3 and out 3 times taking 2 minutes or less off the clock, thrown and interception taking 47 seconds off clock, 3 and out again, then throws another pick 20 seconds off the clock and the half ends.
Those 3 and outs and 2 picks absolutely wear a defense down.
We could go back and forth. I’ve watched football for 35+ years and Colt and Shipley were some of the best to ever play qb and wr, maybe bama wins the game but acting like Colt not playing and a true freshman coming in wouldn’t have mattered is ridiculous.
Somehow it was a game at 21-24 in the 4th quarter with Texas having the ball until that fumble.
If our team could keep it a game our heisman finalist qb could. Of course bama may have changed strategy and a lot of this is a guessing game.
Good win, stupid play call with a freak injury that cost is a chance at a natty.

False, Colt was in for a total of 5 plays. 2 passes for 9 yards, 1 run for 1 yard and a 1st down. A 16 yard run and then colt got hurt.
You kicked the 1st FG after colt was injured, not before. You started that drive in FG range due to an interception on a fake punt.
Your next FG was also a result of getting the ball back on the next kickoff, getting the ball on the Alabama 29.
So I don't know what game you watched.

Either way the point still stands about going 3 and out and throwing 4 interceptions. That’s highly unlikely with Colt in.
No one will ever know and stupid play call, hand the damn ball off to an rb or spread the field and throw an out or slant or hitch and we are not having this convo and either bama or ut wins. We were robbed of a much better game sadly

Go back and read page 1 because all of this was already addressed.

Well I don't disagree Texas would have been better with him in. But the game was won at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
The actual play Colt was hurt on was a speed sweep to spread the field. In no way was Colt supposed to run it. But the Alabama corner read the play and stepped in front of the pitchman. That was what caused him to keep the ball and turn up field. Your line failed to block Dareus, as was the case all night and he got a full speed hit on him from the side.

Context matters, does it not? Did you not read the thread title, or are you just willfully ignoring it?

Very similar to how Georgia dominated the LOS against Alabama in 2021? Like that?

You feel very desperate for attention and validation.

Except you didn't. In fact, it was a close game until late in the 4th quarter, Alabama even had the lead late in the 4th quarter.
The game was much closer than the final score.
Why do you need to make up bullshite?

What you are talking about was discussed on the 1st page, you're just trying to circle it back around and then we end up right back here.
And hell, it's not even the first damn time you were told.

It's been explained to you many times.
On the scoreboard and final results, it doesn't matter.
If you want to talk about the actual Texas team strength for that year, then you would obviously take it into account.
And the real reason Texas lost was at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, which is why Colt got hurt to start with and why Alabama had over 200 rush yards.
It's not complicated, but the average fan can't seem to tell the difference between season rankings and power rankings, so I'm not holding out hope for most of you.

Not at all. I mean it is Alabama fans making claims. I find it funny how y'all apply one set of values to other teams then dismiss them for everyone else.
I mean I seek validation? I didn't start the thread. just merely contributing to it. If y'all don't want logic served up, then don't start dumb threads and make dumb statements.

About Texas.
Georgia had nothing to do with it, but you still ran into the thread screaming for attention and validation.

Wow. Stinking 4th quarter. If only games were only 3 quarters long!
So, tell me....if Williams went down in the 1st quarter, why did we pull away in the 4th? Maybe because we dominated the LOS? I mean, We drove down the field for the go ahead TD, then your all-world QB threw two bad interceptions. Go back and watch the game. Our OLIne pushed your DLine around.

I can no longer take you as a serious poster if you are going to keep saying shite like this.

Discussed and Alabama fans are willfully ignoring facts. Look at the thread title and tell me it was not done as a dig at Texas fans.
Willfully ignoring it, it is, then.
