PASADENA, Calif. — Finally, Alabama could breathe a sigh of relief. After the Crimson Tide defense thwarted a fourth-quarter Texas comeback, the scoreboard read 37-21. As confetti shot from cannons, the stadium roared.
'Bama is officially back, winning the Bowl Championship Series title, its first in 17 years and eighth overall.
However, this defensive struggle, came down to the final minutes. With just over three minutes remaining with Texas trailing by three points, the game was in the hands of a Longhorns backup quarterback, Garrett Gilbert. The true freshman had taken over after Colt McCoy, the winningest quarterback in college football history, left with an injury to his passing shoulder after five snaps.
Deep in Texas' territory, Gilbert was hit hard by Alabama linebacker Eryk Anders, a Texas native, and the ball was loose. As it rolled, Tide linebacker Courtney Upshaw recovered it on the 3-yard line, thus ending an chance of a miraculous comeback.
Alabama's Heisman Trophy winner, Mark Ingram, secured the Crimson Tide's win Thursday night with a 1-yard run with 2:01 left in the game.

We can all wonder "what if" if Colt was in the game.

Great. Now I'll have to hear about the powerhouse SEC conference for another year while the Big XII (the second best D-1 conference) gets absolutely no love.
Texas, you disappoint me.
