2010 BCS National Championship - Alabama Crimson Tide (1#) vs Texas Longhorns (2#) 

Hell yeah!

You’re lying to yourself if you think otherwise

@@killamindedmusic4220 If losing a player tanks your team, then you have failed a coaching because you have not properly filled your roster or have not properly trained the backups. Backups are incredibly important. Ask Georgia all about it after they met Tua one year, then met another backup the next year. Next man up.

@@bonkersmcgee4356 right. Because a freshman quarterback will magically carry a team in a nation championship game..

@@Striker50_ Tua says hi.

@@bonkersmcgee4356 tell em

One fucking drive? Give me a break. You must be a shorthorn.

As a team you can't do that... Texas lost themselves this game

@@MJForever1999 Because of an injury Bama caused? Nah.

I'm bummed

Yep and the one thing he hates to do and sometimes it is unavoidable is running up the score....

@@Fultonfalcons86 Most coaches understand the fact that almost no lead is safe until you get to the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter & you have the ball on a 1st &.10. Look at what Cam Newton & Auburn did to Bama in 2010. Winning by 4 TD's going into the 4th quarter & still lost. Idk, why or how it happens BUT ever since I was young, I've almost always known when Bama was going to lose & manage to not watch the game because of it. Because Auburn had a chance at a Natty, I knew Bama was going to lose that game. The 2 Ole Miss loses, I was just busy & didn't see the games. Same with the loss to "Johnny Football" & aTm. But that loss to Urban & Ohio State & the 2nd Natty against Clemson, I had no doubt Bama was going to lose both of those games & I made sure I was busy during both games so I wouldn't be tempted to watch them lose. And the 2017 Auburn loss, I knew that one too, & I thought it was going to put Bama out of the playoff too. I had stopped paying attention til I heard Bama & Georgia was both in the Natty. And that one, I had no doubt Bama would win. I don't think Georgia has ever beaten Nick Saban at Alabama. And if they did, it was in his first 3-4 years. 2007 or 2010.

@Tim Polcyn Nope. And to be honest, glad I missed it! Idk what it is, but I always seem to NOT be watching when Bama loses. I was out & about trying to accomplish some things, & I tried to watch it with the CBS app on my phone. But the stupid app would show commercials just fine, no problem. But then during the game it would stop during the middle of each & every play. I could watch commercials & the beginning of plays but I didn't get to see the end of any plays. Even with a fast wifi it would do the same crap. But anyway, that's one of the main reasons I watch RU-vid. Is cuz I missed the game & want to see it. Don't think I'll be reviewing this one though. BUT a friend told me he was watching & said in the second half Bama had gotten 1st & goal at the 3 yard line & threw all 3x's. I didn't see the game so I have no idea WHY they wouldn't choose to run the ball in that situation. But if they passed 3x after having a 1st & goal, that is on O'Brien I would think. And in my honest opinion, that is horrible play calling when you have Robinson & a massive offensive line! And if they score a TD in that situation instead of a Field goal, that's the difference in the game. However, with Saban talking about the fact the Aggies just lost 2 games in a row & it being a "trap game"... Saban IS AN INCREDIBLY SMART MAN!!! Maybe, Nick knows this team is NOT determined enough to win a Natty or even a SEC Championship. Maybe, he saw them losing somewhere along the way, & in seeing it, figured that MAYBE if they lost NOW, the team might grow enough determination & balls to go the rest of the season undefeated, in thinking that, he sort of pushed them in that direction & at the same time threw Jimbo Fisher a bone. Plus, there is also the probability that the Aggies lost their last 2 games before Alabama cuz they were preparing to play Alabama the whole 3 weeks. Idk if I believe any of that myself, but I do know that I had HOPED that this team COULD go undefeated & finally give Saban & Alabama a 29 game winning streak & then maybe more next year BUT I knew in my heart this team would NOT be able to do it. Maybe this is the year that Georgia finally comes thru & wins a Natty. I actually thought that when they upset Clemson in the opening game. But Bama's close call at the Swamp, I was thinking maybe that would light a fire under the teams arse' but evidently it wasn't enough. They better watch themselves cuz the rest of the schedule ain't an easy one. And Auburn ain't going to be a pushover at home, especially with a QB that's already won & lost an Iron Bowl.

Let's be honest. It would have been a different game with Colt still in.

I feel two plays cost Texas this game #1 That dumb play call Mack and Greg Davis called that resulted in a turnover and 7pts for the Tide and the other one QB Garrett Gilbert’s sure fire TD pass dropped in the end zone from Texas WR .

@@tudevoid No Guarantee that it would. Colt went out pretty early. Bama at this time was a different team. They were designed to just wear out teams by running it down their throats. Not saying Bama would win or lose. But Colt going out early like he did is not a sure fire oh if Colt had stayed in Texas win.

@@charlesdoyle3630 not guaranteed, but more than likely. BAMA was good, but the game was close even with the back up. Colt would have a better chance for more plays and deeper play book. I would say it would have been more favored for the Horns to win that game.

@@tudevoid Likely is a stretch. Bama got in prevent defense after jumpung agead like they did. No way to know at this point how Colt would have played. No I do not think he would have played Toretta bad. But neither do I believe he would play as well as Manziel did. It would have been alot closer tho if he had stayed in. McElroy had bad ribs. Texas could not stop the run at all.

He won u a natty, which division 1 school did you play at?

@@wildestcowboy2668 lol salty?

@@keshawnstanford5336 How is he salty? He was essentially saying be grateful.

Your so right. McElroy thinks he was a legend but that's in his mind. His many shortcomings was overshadowed by this great team.

@@thadcraft6415 He played for bama and won bama their first natty since David Palmer walked all over Miami in 92. I'd say Greg's resume is better than mine!

When bama stopped the on 1$t and inches on the goal line everyone knew bama had it in the bag!

You definitely would have lost LOL

@@raelockletree3858 You actually can't say that. There's no way to definitively know.

@@codybyrd7272 Texas offense shits on Alabama all day dude, watch what Ehlinger does this coming senior year

@@raelockletree3858 ok??? so the game would've been like 45-40. because Texas couldn't stop Alabama at all until Bama went super conservative because they had a big lead. As for this year with Ehlinger, thats the same thing people said going into last season and then watched as Texas went 8-5 including barely beating Kansas and giving up 48 pooints. Unless they improve their 75th ranked defense in points allowed it won't matter how good Ehlinger is because they won't win any championships.

@@codybyrd7272 Dude, anyone who's ever played football knows, it isn't about how you start its how you finish, and we finished strong against Utah, very strong in fact. Good things take time, I have faith we'll see the playoffs this year

There is some jackass out there that "yeah but" any national championship he has won at Alabama. The "yeah but" come from fans who can't accept that their team is not Alabama.

Actually they had 225 combined. 49 of Richardson's came on one play.

colt for the entire game would've made a huge difference for texas. your assertion that ingram and rich. would've won it regardless for bama is total speculation. texas would've stuffed the box to fix that one. mcelroy was no colt!

They kind of had the ball more often since Gilvert was going 3 and out. No can say who would have won if colt didnt get hurt, but it definitely would have been closer. That much can't be refuted.

Bullshit. Colt's QB play woulda made a huge difference on how this game woulda played out period. When Colt got hurt Texas player's were very tentative!

LOL

Julio is already a Lock for the HOF pretty much.

Already 2nd, maybe best Bama receiver all time.

@@tonycrabtree3416 I'm glad you told that Joe Biden loving gun banning clown off

If Colt didn't get hurt surely the short horns would of won. Did the Texas coach plan on Colt playing on the defensive side of the ball too. And what if Mack Brown retired after this game and Texas was left with Muschump as the head coach? What a complete and total nightmare that could have turned out to be.

@@ecjraj probably not.

@txtst if colt stayed they still of lost

As a USC fan as much as we hate Texas that was tough to watch so early in a game.

Lmao

Woulda won had he stayed in

@@Striker50_ woulda coulda shoulda. Texas ain't winning shit. 🤣 Hahahahahahaha

@@Striker50_ are u aware the alabama qb had cracked ribs this game and straight up couldn’t throw hardly any? texas should’ve adjusted better to the situation, alabama l’s defense held strong and their run game slowly broke texas down

He’s played for certain other teams like the Redskins when they had an injury and he played well. Why do you think he’s been employed in the NFL for 10+ years? It’s impressive to stick around the league that long.

And according to some Texas fans their football team died with his arm. Must of been one heck of and arm injury to take 10+ years for that arm to recover.

@@ecjraj the heart of the Texas program is what died that night. They lost heart.

Hahaha

Almost took two qbs out that night!

What happened to Texas after this game? They just didn't get back to their original selves.... Seems like alabama broke them cause you never heard anything else about Texas anymore till now 12 years later because of sark...Texas could be a sleeper team this year

​@ontariopride7988 you predicted it

Hell Yeah bad ass game Roll Tide all the way

That man's dead, show some respect for him

@@wildestcowboy2668 No chance in hell showing respect to a guy who poisoned the trees for someone putting a jersey on the Bear Bryant statue. And to make worse former state trooper. Go ahead and delete my comment but fact stands he got butt hurt about a jersey put on the statue and turned around and poisoned the trees on Auburn campus. Then admitted on national syndicated sports radio he did it.

So your telling us when Colt got hurt it set the Texas football program back 10+ years. 10+ years?

@@ecjraj yep...the program was never the same after that play.

I remember those early 2000s days. Bama was TRASH. Glad those days are over(for now)

@@beensavage390 what was Alabama like before Saban came?

@@1990Thunderbolt awful. Losing to teams like southern mississippi or going 4-6 with no bowl game. Sad days with ol Mike Shula haha

@@beensavage390 they still had 12 national championships before saban came tho right? to this this day, besides alabama yale and princeton no one has 12 nationals titles. they can't keep up!

Don't think Greg was bad, where did you play division 1 football at?

bs. i heard colt talk about the injury. it was real. colt was a player and would've played if possible.

????

Colt still in the NFL

That was an injury Sometimes the ones that don't look like much can be the worst.

he was always a bit small and soft. my guess is that it was a mix of both.

These cameras don’t do justice to the speed of the hit. Dareus is like 320 Ibs and lead with his helmet into the shoulder of Colt. Almost anyone would’ve been injured in this situation.

Me too!

@@OperationPitbull I get your point, but it couples with why I like bigger QBs. If he would have hit a 6'4" / 240 QB, then the chances of an injury are less, but still possible.

I had forgotten how mediocre McElroy was in this game. The future Alabama GOAT (in my opinion) was lurking in the shadows on the sidelines. AJ would take “game manager” to another level.

Haha true

🤣🤣🤣

Have faith the young redshirt Freshman from Hoover is now health in Alabama's first live scrimmage he nailed 53 and 54 yd field goals now if we have the snapper and holder do their jobs we may have a couple yrs of consistency

@@leftcoastkiller1873 Bama kickers have been nailing them in practice. They've even recruited highly ranked kickers, but something hasn't panned out in game situations.

Interestingly, in 2011 Jeremy Shelley missed his only PAT by hitting the upright!

Restocking or coached up to appear so? Saban and most of his staff created it,,,

It will be the same

You are an idiot.

If that’s true he made a mistake

@@joseluna8607 you truly can't believe that, right?

Famous and telling, "doing what's best for Colts' career" Coaches and parents said, in effect, we'd rather lose than lose one players' career.

They was going to kill him

What position did you play at?

@@wildestcowboy2668 I'm a fan. Ha! I don't play. Many fan bases refer to their respective teams as "we".

Jalen Hurts was 25-2 SEC Offensive PotY... yet true freshman Tagavailoa won when he spotted UGA 13 before the half. Next excuse? Oh wait... I forgot Texas was a one-man roster so I guess there aren't anymore.

+ElBeizme lol i know the fealing and if you did go out it was to get plastered in pity

Yes

That is the most honest response to this game that I have ever heard from a Texas fan. All those that say Texas would have won for sure don't accept the dynamics of the game and how all the different scenarios with or without Colt would play out. I completely agree with you here. With Colt, Texas' chances of winning go way up, without a doubt. But victory was by no means a guarantee under those circumstances and the fact is we will simply never know for sure because he did get hurt and taken out of the game.

Colt McCoy did a great disservice to his team and should be ashamed.

Bama has had a stacked defense for like 30 years tho

excuses are like assholes

@@RadicallyOptimistic Then Texas should have won the game if they were the better team.

That's why you make defensive adjustments and play 4 quarters.you can say this could or that could but guess what it didnt

LOL. Colt didn’t even finish the first Texas offensive series. Both of Texas’ first two offensive series were short field drives. To get just two FG’s on those drives says a lot more about the Bama defense. Learn your football.

@@bretdawkins3294 if it helps you sleep better at night, yeah, go with that. colt plays the game, texas in a laugher, 44-22.

@@trashedbodomguy I actually agree with you but texas was centered around colt and that's coaching. every team needs a capable backup qb, texas didn't. we all got robbed of a great game had colt played the entire game. texas, 44-22.

Lmao!

+jorgehz127 Quit? Geez.. What an immature and ill informed comment. Colt said his arm went numb. Pinched nerves can be a huge issue. You try throwing a ball when you cant feel your arm. I would never accuse Colt of quitting. There was zero reason for him to "quit" especially when they had the momentum after Bama's fake punt blunder. BTW ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

Thank you

You're a hundred percent correct their Charles and they still have not come out of it as of the end of the 2021 season
