Alabama was completely off balance on that first defensive series.
Texas was taking it in with ease with McCoy.
Maybe the next possession they get three and it's only 10-0 but still that would've been a better start than 6-0.
Alabama would've still ran the ball and scored but Texas would've continued to add points and keep it real close.
I didn't want Texas to win but I think they were going to win. Just my opinion.
I wouldn't say that it didn't matter, Alabama would've won anyway. It's football and injuries happen but no way can you say that Alabama would've won either way.
I just don't think that Colt would have made a huge difference. Sure he's better than this kid, but Bama's goal line defense steps up big every time in the pass and the run. I think they would have stopped him.
Either way, I just don't think it's fair to say that if a team had "X" player, they would have scored, or won, or anything in any situation.
