Texas vs. Alabama
Who do you think will win?
Being from Missouri and a Big 12 guy I hope Texas wins but if I had to put money on it I'd have to go with Bama.
Yeah. Bama's defense is solid. Really solid.
I'm going with the SEC claiming it's fourth title in a row. Bama.
Bama, even though as an auburn fan it burns saying that, I think Bama will win.
Oh no.....HOOK EM HORNS!!!! Defense and Special Teams will win this game and Texas is stronger on both counts.
One special point: Auburn this season stopped Mark Ingram to only about 30 yards rushing. Guess who Auburn's head coach is?
That's right. He used to be the DC for Texas until about two years ago. Him and Mack Brown are tight. No doubt Brown will have the notes, films, and plays to stop Mark Ingram.
Texas also has 13 TD's from special teams. They're getting it done. With Bama however, they rank last in kickoff coverage. Look for Shipley to have a big day.
Terrance Cody is no Suh. He's good at stopping the run. That's mainly it.
Texas wins if their offense repeatedly runs 4-5 WR sets with no huddle, to tire out Bama's defensive line, and spreads out the passing lanes. McCoy will have a big day if this happens.
Bama wins if McElroy has a big day against Texas's good secondary. They also win if they can successfully press Texas's WR's, as Bama has Kareem Jackson and Javier Arenas, two solid corners. There starting safety is also really good.
