Great post. Love to see the different takes on the game. Most Alabama fans sad that Colt McCoy hurt, but proud of the Tide. Alabama ran the ball well against the #1 rushing defense in the country and the defense was awesome. IMOP, if you can run at will, you win, no matter the quarterback. “Alabama would have won the game with or without Colt McCoy”–Lou Holtz

SO are we going to be using “Perfect Storm” for this team a la “Redwood Forest” in ’79 or “Red Storm Rising” in ’92?
Most satisfying of all is that I believe the Horns were the only team the Tide had played more than once and never beaten. That error has been rectified.

Dean, thanks. Despite some mistakes, I think Alabama done good in the game. Props to Saban and company.
Morty, glad to see Bama beat Texas, upping our record to 1-7-1. It’s a start …
