Two one hundred yard rushers against the number one ranked rushing defense spells dominance. Bama was much more physical and hit Texas in the fricking mouth.

i disaree with this....bama wasnt bout getting a lot of yards in the second half...bout running out time....plus the two late TDs were because of turnovers near the endzone there fore not requireing a long drive....that game was dominated by bama...just ask UT's front 7



Any game that was a 3 point difference with three minutes to go is not a dominant performance

Any game where the loser had more yards than the winner is not a dominant performance.

IMO, Bama dominated early. Texas dominated in the second half, and turnovers were the deciding factor.

That would be true if they did that all game, but they didn't. They were only running like that early on, then Texas held them to 75 total yards in the second half, while Bama struggled offensively. I know you are a Bama fan, and that's what you wanna believe, but it's just not true.

So what was Texas dominant in if they had more yards than you?

So only the second half counts in a football game I guess? Also, speaking of true freshman, our true freshman RB ran for over 100 yards and two TDs on Texas's number 1 rushing defense. Also, BHP got it right: we didnt need to dominate the game, we just needed to win. And we did. Deal with it.

The important thing is that you are here and trying to learn about the game. Stay with it....

Uh, 75 total yards in the second half when Texas finally got the freshman comfortable shows what the game was really about


Bama was on cruise control until Shipley's second TD. Did they even attempt a pass in the third quarter? Bama was the physically dominant team.

That poster is awesome, and I'm thinking about driving to Tuscaloosa just to get it.



Does it have a black background? If it's what I think, it's pretty cool.
Also, Bama won in Bama fashion. Did we dominate UF? Yes. Did we dominate TX ? Well, we sure as hell let off the gas for nearly a whole damn quarter.
I will tip my hat to TX secondary however. They played well.
In the end though, UA beat TX the same way we beat alot of SEC teams this year. Ball control with the running game, stout d.

You did win, but you weren't dominant. If anything you were very unimpressive. No one is mad over the win. I am not even in the fight. I just keep reading these lines that would have me believe that Bama rolled Texas like they did Florida, when in fact they almost lost to Texas while it was being piloted by a True freshman QB.

Bama attempted the same amount of passes in the first half as they did the second half.

Texas was not a complete team. No running game. You cant be one dimensional in college football and win championships.

Think you know more than me about football, eh?


If you did you would understand what Texas was trying to do defensively, and why it didn't work in the first half.

Yet they were more balanced than you in the NC game.

I think any neutral fan sees Bama as being the champs, but being lucky that fluke injury happened. Bama was one drive from losing that game, and would be the biggest choke by a football team in recent memory. You don't go from almost being that, to being dominant simply because an 18 year old kid forgot to call the right line protection backed up on his own goal line. One play does not make you dominant, and that play is what pretty much decided the game.

you really dont understand. I would not have cared if we had have played the worst game ever, or if texas dominated us the whole game, if we still won, then I could not give a rat's arse. And we did, so what is the point of this thread?

Once again, Bama let off the gas in the entire third quarter. Effectively Bama thought the game was won. Kudos to Texas for continuing to fight and trying to make a game of it, but once Bama turned the heat up again, the game was put away. Took only a couple of minutes to rip that 3 point deficit wide open.

Texas was ripped apart at the end because Alabama stopped caring about the running game, and committed 7-8 guys to coverage. Being aple to pressure the quarterback while only rushing 3-4 is how Alabama came up with three turnovers on Texas' last 3 posessions.

As fast as Texas caught up, Bama pulled away that much faster.

The ability to end the game whenever you want to, that's dominance.

So then you won't mind admitting Texas is lucky to even be in the game since it took Sam Bradford leaving the Red River Rivalry for Texas to win by 3?

Lulz.

That "fluke" happened because you came across a physical team in BAMA who punched Mccoy in his count. No way in hell Colt Mccoy would last a season in the SEC.
