In a disappointing title game, Alabama beat Texas, 37-21. Texas's Colt McCoy was knocked out on the first drive, and Garrett Gilbert threw a killer interception returned for a touchdown before halftime. The team rallied and got some shocking big plays in the middle of the defense.
Give credit to Nick Saban for adjusting on the fly. Alabama's defense bore down on Texas and got some key turnovers. Javier Arenas saw his stock fall, but Rolando McClain will certainly get drafted in the top 10. Maybe the Chiefs or Raiders? For Texas, you have to wonder what kind of point differential would his presence carry? Ten? Gilbert got some big game experience and that will be enough to give their team some hope next year.
Unfortunately, none of us got the game we wanted. Even Alabama fans have to admit this is not how they wanted to win a title. The next college football questions are: how high does Boise State rank in the 2010 preseason? How good will the Big 12 be, and could we see Nebraska ascend? Can the SEC win a fifth straight BCS title? Who is John Brantley?
