Default Texas Longhorns vs Alabama Crimson Tide Final Score Prediction Thread

Will the Tide Roll, or will the Horns Hook em'? Lets break this game down by matchup, situations, and relevant stats, NOT TRENDS like past heisman winners/losers ats...with your score prediction, add a thought on why and how you capped it to this result...

Alabama Crimson Tide 27 Texas Longhorns 17

Alabama's drubbing of Florida in what should have been, for all intents and purposes, the BCS National Championship, how they handled it, and worked against a fast, physical defense as well as offense is the indicator of why they are favored, and rightly so. Texas, as deserving as they may be didn't get their yearly test from Oklahoma, and we saw how they played in that game. The key to Alabama covering this spread is the D-Lines pressure and containment of McCoy. McCoy, like Tebow is the lifeblood of Texas' gameplan...Saban, given a well over a month to prepare for the task with the defensive crew he has is reason enough for me, but better still, Alabama's running game isn't its entire arsenal, this team is rounded, and takes care of the ball (only 10 lost fumbles ALL YEAR) and one of the least penalized teams in the country...meaning they won't beat themselves. The Tide Rolls, the Horns get Hooked.

McCoy will be a man on a mission after coming up short in the Heisman Race for the 2nd straight year. Don't ever count out the dog in a big game that most people aren't even giving a chance!!! They've had to listen for over a month about how they are outmatched by Alabama, you don't think they've been working their asses off?!?! Mack Brown is a proven winner and he will have a plan! I'll take the points all day!!

The way I see it is if this game is a blowout it will be a blowout by Bama. If UT can keep the game close they have a great chance to win. I just do not see Texas blasting Bama's NFL-like D.


Look at every game Bama has played. They have physically beat the hell out of people. Bama scattered LSU players all over the field when they played them. Most of the other games were the same.

The will drill McCoy and Shipley. Trust me.

We have a winner. Look at how the Big Ten won their bowl games this year. The lines physically dominated.
