I am gonna have to disagree here and side with Tim. Not cuz I'm a horns fan, but because that last TD was completely unnecessary... there wasn't enough time in the game for Texas to score a TD, let alone pick up 10+ points for the tie and/or win. Not when Bama has the ball! Texas doesn't have enough T/Os to stop the clock and they are in Texas territory. It would have been MUCH more classy to just kneel and run the clock out. And like Tim said, that is EXACTLY what Mack would've done if the rolls were reversed.

Now that isn't trying to take anything away from the Tide.... they played a good game and the only thing that matters is the W. They are the national champs and rightly so. They are a hell of a Football team with a lot of talent! I just wish that Colt could have played the whole game so that regardless of who won there wouldn't be people saying 'what if...'

Screw the What If crowd! They have had one of the top high school quarterbacks sitting on the bench all season with his thumb up his gazzoo for all but 26 plays while they tried to convince the world that Colt was a Great Quarterback rather than the good one he is. So what happens, Colt falls out and Gilbert has no experience and still did a decent job for an 18 year old with receivers that kept dropping the ball - pretty stupid, and I was once a Mack Brown Fan. So - AL won and is the National Champion.
