I try not to think about it.
The first few minutes of that game made Alabama look silly. Awful coaching decisions by Saban. Poor performances from the players.
Then bam. Colt goes down and Texas doesn't have shit to make up for it.
Actually what's sad is they did. They had speed on the outside that continually burned Bama's corners and safeties.
But what happened was that kid was so doe-eyed when he was forced into the game that he couldn't get his brain and legs working simultaneously in the second quarter.
Alabama only had one decent drive all night. The rest of their points came on turnovers and a short field and one long run.
I had forgotten that Texas had the ball down three with just over two minutes left.
The blindside hit on Gilbert to force a fumble made the difference.
Bama scores on a short drive, Ingram celebrates like he just won WWII single handedly -- standing around in the endzone acting like an Ewok even when the extra point was about to be kicked. And then classless Bama tacks on another score after a turnover with under a minute left.
That score showed ZERO class.
How many times have we seen Auburn, especially under Tuberville, run off two minutes or more when the game was won?
Not these backwood rubes.
They suck.
