Alabama earned it this year but McCoy was a Heisman trophy candidate. Even though football is a team with 22 starters if you take out the best player on the team it makes a huge difference especially when that player is the QB or the running back. If you take out Ingram, Alabama would have strugggled. If Alabama couldn't demolish an inexperienced QB, a bench warmer, then how could one assume they would be able to stop a Heisman caliber dual threat QB. Ignorance is bliss.

What a dick licker

, Texas was depending on 1 player and not the team for this argument , Bama was in fact playing with a QB that had broken ribs and couldnt pass the ball without pain , so Bama had to run and both Ingram and Richardson went over 100 yds , but Bama did win even with their own qb injured, yes if Colt was in it would have been a better game , but also if Mccelroy didnt have broken ribs Bama wouldve passed either way both teams had QB problems ,Bama still won 37-21

@guitarrift96 Colt McCoy got injured on the 5th play of the game, that's not nearly long enough to establish "dominance" of any kind. Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson ran for 100+ yards each, I'd hardly call that "dominating", least of all for the supposed #1 rush defense in the nation.

Losing McCoy clearly hurt your team, but Colt McCoy wasn't playing defense, he wasn't going to stop Richardson and Ingram running all over Texas's defense.

@curtycurt1027 no, i will give that one to yall, that was a great game. and im not saying you wouldn't have won this one, but it would have been a different game

[guitarrift96]

@dsjj251 uh yeah, we kinda were buddy. at least when mccoy was in and our defense had a break between possesions

[dsjj251]

@Tech2Talk LMFAO ROTF, Texas was NOT dominating the ball defensively. You obviously didnt watch the game.

@mcb2597 broke rib as a lineman.. no biggie.. as a QB where the most likely place to get hit is in the ribs? even with pads that would still hurt. could mccoy move his arm? yes could he feel it? no.. my dad sprained his ankle in high school and played the whole game. now it washis right arm so.. i mean if he is the same as a normal eprson he cant do shit with his left hand unless he is left handed.. but really? entire game? ive head deadarms before. go away in a few minutes.

@guitarrift96 Seing as you dont seem to be all pro texas pfft we woulda stomed teh sheet out of joo, im going to say this. texas was a great team. thats why they were ranked no 2 everyone acts like their starting players are a 10 on the good scale and their second string is a 2. that freshman won 2 state titles in high school. thats not an easy feat. he was really good, otherwise they would have never put him in. at the end of the day its nto what could have happened its what did happen.
