Well, I don't like to give footbal commentary but it kind of was like this.
McCoy got hit in the first Texas drive with about 4 yards to go. Someone hit him in the back right shoulder blade. I knew it was over then. Can you imagine being the freshman rookie quarterback being asked to play your first game and it's for the national title? Then our center got hurt and we had to have a rookie freshman center. The first half was grim... not that the second half was any better.
The Texas defense held there own and The rookie started to get some confidence but I really don't think it was an #1Alabama versus a #2Texas. It was more like a #1 Alabama against an unranked Texas. Would have been a different story had McCoy not been hurt.
From the interview afterwards it sounds like he wasn't even hurt bad, just wanted to save his pro career. The thing is, his stock in being wanted in the NFL just fell to third round if that.
I'm rather upset with Colt, but suprisingly not at the team. They did a valiant effort to catch up with what they had for players. Better luck next year? Don't count on it. It will be a while before Texas rebuilds again. At least we have Mack Brown guiding the way. Hook 'Em Horns for life.

It was a bummer that McCoy was injured and out of the game so early, especially after they were off to a great start with the first touchdown of the game. I think McCoy made the right decision, staying out of the game. He had no feeling in his arm. He didn't want to, but his dad and coach both insisted he not play. Yea, it was sad to see the game go down the tubes without him, but Gilbert made a great effort, especially in the 2nd half, and the Horns actually came close to turning the game around in the 4th quarter when they brought the score to 21 to 24. I think they played well, under the circumstances, and should be commended for their grit, determination, and yes, even their talent under such pressure. Hook em!
