Oh, no! YOU won't take me seriously? heavens, what will I ever do?
Ok. So lets examine what you said.
You want to claim that Alabama dominated the LOS in the Texas game? Seems odd because I see that Alabama had 296 yards of total offense while Texas had 290 yards of total offense. I see your point. It was total domination.
The Texas backup QB threw 4 Ints. including 1 pick 6. I think it would be safe to say that Colt PROBABLY would not have thrown 4 Ints. and probably not a pick 6.
Colt McCoy was a significant injury that affected the game. Who knows if the outcome was affected. Maybe Texas would have won....maybe not. Sometimes injuries do affect a game, but Alabama fans are dead set on dismissing Colts injury as affecting the outcome while clinging to the Williams injury as being the reason Georgia beat Alabama.
but hey...I am heartbroken you can't take me serious. I'll probably not be able to sleep tonight.

Over 200 of those yards for Alabama were rushing yards, and Texas got it's yards in garbage time.
You're just looking at stats when you obviously didn't watch the game. It was over at halftime and everyone knew it.
Another example is you just cite "interceptions" without realizing one of them was a lineman(Dareus again) who basically sacked the QB to cause it.
Furthermore, I said on the first page that obviously Colt being hurt made a difference in the strength of Texas, and I even copied a 2nd time for you. I think said I don't think it would have ultimately mattered because of the line play.
The reason I can't take you serious is because you refuse to acknowledge the fact that most of this has already been discussed. As I said, take your win and be happy instead of trying to find validation in Alabama fans.

Seriously? The score was 24-13 in the 4th quarter. It was 24-21 with just 6:15 left in the game! It was actually Alabama that got their yardage in garbage time. Alabama scored 2 TDs with 2 minutes left in the game. Garbage time.
Alabama punted the ball to Texas with 3:01 left in the game and the score was 24-21.
Texas promptly fumbled the ball on the 3 yard line and Alabama scored.
Then after the kickoff Texas' backup QB promptly threw one of his 4 interceptions giving Alabama the ball on their 27 yard line and Alabama scored again.
Then Texas' backup QB promptly threw another interception, so exactly when was Texas rolling up all those yards in garbage time?
You are talking about a game you apparently don't know anything about.
Garbage time. I'm not sure i can take you seriously as a poster.
Here you go. Familiarize yourself with the game.

Yes, Alabama let up defensively and allowed Texas to get back in, then put their foot back on their throats.
Again, go watch the game.

Not surprising at all that you thought a 3 point lead with 3 minutes left in the game and Texas's ball was a safe lead.

Are you kidding me? Bama let up in a national championship game? Give me an Fing break dude. Despite our fumble and 4int we made our way back with the ball only down 3 with 3 minutes to go. If you let us back your d coordinator is an absolute idiot. Texas despite a pick 6 and the fumble that basically gave you a td at halftime played hard and didn’t quit and made their way back.
Again all this is just to point out Colt likely IMO beats bama. At the very least it’s pretty undisputed that his absence completely changed the game.
Previous UGA poster nailed it the only garange time was bama scoring a few in the final 2 minutes

I don't have to. The sequence of events tell the story.
Listen carefully.
When the score was 24-21 with 3 minutes left in the game, and Texas had the ball, the game was not over at halftime. Alabama had 9 yards more than Texas. Alabama did not dominate Texas, no matter how you want to believe they did.

Watch the game. It was 24-6 with Alabama scoring 24 unanswered points after being down 0-6 from mistakes in the first half. All 6 of those points came off Alabama turnovers putting them in FG range to start.
The majority of the 3rd quarter was punt, punt, punt, punt. Texas managed a TD late in the 3rd quarter on a SINGLE PLAY. A 44 yard pass.
In the 4th quarter, Alabama missed a FG, and then gave Texas somewhat decent field position. They managed a few passes, and then got another explosive play for their final TD.
That was basically the entire Texas offense of the game.
After that point, Alabama then sacks them gets a fumble, then rushes in for a TD a few plays later from like inside the Texas 10.
Then it's followed up with 2 more interceptions and another Alabama rushing TD.
The game was never really in question.

The Texas backup QB fumbled the ball and threw 4 interceptions, but Colt McCoy's injury doesn't count.
Jump up and down and talk about halftime all you want, but it was a 3 point game with less than 3 minutes left in the game. In fact, Alabama scored with 2 minutes left after the fumble by the Texas backup QB.
You need to go sell your story to somebody else.

Yes, they let up. Alabama scored 24 unanswered points and Texas had no life in them.
Your QB went 15/40 with a 38% completion rate. You had a 44 yard TD pass and then one drive after that had a few good passes before having 3 turnovers.
The Alabama defense was consistently in the Texas backfield.
The game was so lopsided Mack Brown completely changed his philosophy after the game, trying to mimic what Alabama had. Thus throwing your entire program in decline as it was a transition your fan base couldn't bear and one in which Mack never got right.

You're just telling me you don't actually understand football, all you understand is a scoreboard.
In reality, the game was kind of sad because of how lopsided it was.

That's ridiculous. Did Alabama jump out to a good lead? Yes. But Texas came back. If the Texas QB had not thrown a pick 6, Texas would have had the lead with 3 minutes left in the game, and the QB would not have been back throwing the ball when he fumbled. He would have been handing the ball off. There would have been a good chance Texas would have won.
Look...you say I don't understand football? You don't understand that a game actually lasts 4 quarters,and is not over at halftime.
You want to claim that Alabama dominated and use rushing yards as proof, yet there was 9 yards difference between the teams.
When I point that out, you want to claim Texas got theirs in garbage time, when there was 2 minutes of garbage time, and Texas fumbled and threw an interception.
In "garbage" time Texas ran for -4 yards rushing and got a whopping 18 yards passing.
Don't tell me I don't understand football when Texas got 14 total yards in garbage time and you want to claim they got all their yards in garbage time.
Look. You want to pretend it was some great dominating win for Alabama? have at it. Go live out your fantasy life, but don't ask me to buy into some fictional blowout win for Alabama.

I'm not going to continue arguing with someone who didn't watch the game and doesn't really know how things went.
There was a reason Texas changed offensive schemes from being a spread offense in 2009 to a more balanced power run based team in 2010 the way Alabama was in 2009.
Texas as I mentioned failed to make that transition, they didn't have the personnel for it. But of course that's just yet another thing you football illiterate fricks don't understand around here. As a result, they didn't even have a winning record in 2010.
Hell, many Texas fans claimed he ruined Texas as a result.
So keep citing your scoreboard while anyone who actually understands football knows damn good and well the game wasn't really close.

1) it was an 11 point game until we gifted you a td before half by that terrible pitch right to your DL.
2) if any of your players, coaches, etc “let up” in the national championship game they are absolute morons
3) you are making a guess, you have no idea if they let up or not and again would be a stupid decision
4) the qb stats are proving my point. This is pre transfer portal so we had a fresh with 0 experience. Your D would not turn Colt McCoy over 5 times like you did worth our fresh qb.
5)’ your d was in our backfield because, and let me say it again, we hand a true freshman qb in and we were barely 1 dimensional on offense. You stacked the boxed and dared our freshman to throw which he couldn’t.
6) you are right about one thing Mack changed his philosophy so he didn’t rely on one player going down losing us a game, but again the game was not lopsided and the eye test and stats back that up.
Again, you won, I wish you had won getting our best shot but we will never know.
But there shouldn’t be a single bama fan claiming an injury hurt you against any team in a natty that also doesn’t universally agree Colt getting hurt was the reason Texas lost period.

It was not the scoreboard I am citing. It is the times that each team scored. Whether you like it or not, with a little over 2 minutes left in the game, Texas had the ball and was down by 3 points.
You believe what you want, but that is a close game. Until a backup QB fumbles, then throws an interception.
Like I said. Believe what you want to. You keep saying I did not watch the game, but you apparently did not watch the second half.
You are right about one thing, though. It is pointless to keep arguing.
If you want to believe it was some fictional blowout win, then go ahead. But if you believe that, then I have to believe you are only going by the scoreboard, and not by reality.

Man, I hate to wade into this particular game as it can appear classless.
But this Dawg is correct, and the Bama bro is just super wrong. This was a close game, and having Colt in the game makes it a hell of a lot closer.
There is no asterisk whatsoever, a win is a win, but let's not play like the injury wasn't very important.
I watched about half of that season plastered in the stands at DKR, and it was a sight to see. Texas did not develop that backup much. I assume they wanted to retain his RS and get Colt a Heisman for the program prestige.
