They were running Alabama all over and then got down in the red zone and scored but had the penalty. With McCoy I guarantee they punch it in 1st-and-goal at the 4.

Alabama really put themselves in a hole early on and the Texas offense didn't have to do too much.

The second possession even if it ended in three would've made it 10-0.

Now you're seeing how the game would've gone if McCoy had played with his experience and confidence. They would've been able to move the ball on Alabama.

Instead they had a two quarter drought with a quarterback that never played before.

I guess I'll agree that you don't know who would win for sure but I think it works both ways. You can't say Alabama would win either way. The injury was a major subplot and it changed the dynamics of the game.

Only down 17-6...run the clock out and get the ball first in the 2nd half and at the time....he didn't know if McCoy was coming back or not.......IDIOTIC

And I think Gilbert has done enough, mixed with Alabama laying down and Ingram missing 4 possessions in the 2nd half........no excuses right now.
