For the very first time given that the 2009 BCS Championship Game, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns take on. For 2 of the bluest bloods in college football, they do not play frequently. This is their very first conference in the routine season given that 1922.
When they played 12 years back, the Tide won 37-21 and Nick Saban won his very first nationwide title at Alabama. The video game kipped down the 2nd series when Longhorns QB Colt McCoy, a Heisman finalist, was hurt and left the video game. Texas relied on a real freshman QB and made it a close video game, however in the 4th quarter, the Tide retreated. The McCoy injury hangs over the video game as one of the most significant “what-ifs” in a sport loaded with them.
The groups’ fortunes diverged from there. Alabama ended up being the most dominant force in the sport, winning 5 more titles. Texas has actually had 4 head coaches given that and has actually had a hard time to discover a QB as dominant as McCoy.
This year, Alabama is coming off an SEC title and a loss to Georgia to the College Football Playoff Championship game video game. Texas went 5-7 last season, its very first with Steve Sarkisian as coach. Alabama appears every bit the CFP preferred with Bryce Young at QB. On the other hand, Texas may have addressed its frustratingly long QB concern. Transfer QB Quinn Ewers, a previous luxury hire, had 2 TDs in his scorched orange launching.
The Tide get in as 20-point favorites, according to Caesars. It’s the longest chances the Horns have actually dealt with in your home given that 1978.
Here are the very best minutes and plays from the video game:
