The National Championship as I saw it....

Through the encouragement of my sister-in-law,
I decided to create a blog. And what better place to
start than the BCS National Championship game!
As most of you that know me know, I am, have always been, and will always be a die hard University of Alabama Crimson Tide fan. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of the championship game. We're number 1 once again. But, here's the championship game as I saw it. Alabama's running game was excellent, their defense was better, the coaching staff forgot how to coach, and Texas wasn't the same without McCoy. If you tell me that having Colt McCoy on the sideline made a difference in how the game was played, I'll completely agree with you. If you tell me that Alabama's defense wouldn't have been able to handle Colt McCoy, well, I think they did! Marcell Dareus laid the hit on McCoy that took him out of the game, to which I hope Dareus followed with a "WELCOME TO THE SEC, BITCH!" Ok, ok, that might've been out of line, and I wish nothing but the best for Colt, but the game is a team effort and Texas seemed to lose their spirit after he left. If nothing else, I would've expected Colt's injury to light a fire in Texas to crush Alabama. And don't tell me "oh, well Texas had their 2nd string QB in". That little ol' 2nd string QB passed for 185 yards and 2 TD's to our STARTING QB's 58 yards and 0 TD's. I was impressed, he was as poised as he could've been in that situation. As far as Texas' defense went, they knew Alabama's strength, the run game, and couldn't stop it(which should shut up the nay sayers about who didn't deserve the Heisman). I am not saying Texas is terrible, Alabama certainly wasn't fantastic... I mean, really Saban? A fake punt on 4th and 23 on your own 30? I couldn't believe it. But the end result crowns Alabama National Champs, and that makes me happy. I can rest easier now knowing the football God's and Bear Bryant, himself, are smiling down on Tuscaloosa, once again. And that's just how I saw it. But I had a few beers, so what do I know?
