**OFFICIAL** BCS Championship Discussion Thread - Alabama vs. Texas

[MotF Bane]

Gilbert/Texas needed that.

 

[TecHNooB]

Texas better come back to win it somehow. Otherwise I wasted a lot of time. haha.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Touchdown! Happy for Gilbert not happy for Texas. No QB should make their debut in the BCS title game. 24-13 Bama

 

[Miramonti]

Woooooot!! Nice onside!

 

[mugs]

😀 Texas players are pointing both directions, they don't know which way they're going

 

[vi edit]

Holy crap. That's a new way to approach the onside. Freaking line drive it and deflect off the front line legs.

 

[skim milk]

holy shit, that kick was right on the money

 

[newb111]

These texas receivers are killing poor Gilbert

At this point Texas needs to take risks and that one paid off. They can't keep letting Bama run time off the clock.

“Lee Corso suffered a stroke in May, and on Saturday’s College GameDay, it was obvious from hearing him speak that he hasn’t completely recovered from it. But I admire him for staying on the air, and I admire ESPN for allowing him to stay on the air.”

Wow I had no idea. I honestly thought he was drunk. Thanks for posting this.

I don't know how Alabama was unprepared for that kick. Texas needs two scores.

 

[Babbles]

Two missed PI calls, eh.

 

[EightySix Four]

Two pass interference calls missed in a row. That was BS.

 

[Balt]

I feel bad for Gilbert, his receivers aren't doing anything to help him out.

 

[vi edit]

Two coulda been pass interference calls there...but also shoulda been catches regardless. Receivers aren't helping their rookie QB at all.

I don't think teams practice the line drive to the face ricochet onside kick. hah

 

[spidey07]

Momentum Texas. I told you there was a shitload of football left.

The guy tried to catch the kick though which looked odd. Alabama should have at least been prepared for it.

 

[Miramonti]

Texas has shut out Alabama in the 3rd quarter. There offense is subpar, but they've definitely got some defensive studs.

 

[KLin]

So the Rock is going to be playing a tooth fairy in a movie? Hollywood has officially hit rock bottom.

 

[EightySix Four]

Christ, until that run 'bama had only moved the ball 3 yards this half.

Seems like Saban is afraid to let McElroy throw because of turnovers. Ingram seems to be suffering from cramps now as well. They need to do some screens or short slants.

Alabama seems to just want to run the clock down. Maybe they hope their defense will shut down the Texas offense the rest of the way and not have to worry about scoring anything.

No, he's afraid because McElroy has eaten dirt 1/4 of the times he has dropped back.

Exactly. Saban is petrified of McElroy passing. lol
