2010 BCS National Championship - Alabama Crimson Tide (1#) vs Texas Longhorns (2#)
After completing an undefeated regular season by besting their division rivals LSU and Mississippi State. Then defeating their most bitter rival Auburn in a highly contentious Iron Bowl. And dominating the seemingly invincible Florida Gators with their Heisman Trophy winning quarterback. The Alabama Crimson Tide certainly earned their spot in the BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California where they faced off against the Texas Longhorns. The game started out good but things took a shocking turn when a big hit knocked Texas quarterback Colt McCoy out of the game for good. Alabama went on to easily claim a National Championship and complete Alabama's re-emergence as the premier college football program in the land.

Time to re-watch all of Coach Saban's national titles. Much love and respect to the greatest to ever do it
Hell yeah!
The Legend of “If only Colt hadn’t got hurt” was born
You’re lying to yourself if you think otherwise
@@killamindedmusic4220 If losing a player tanks your team, then you have failed a coaching because you have not properly filled your roster or have not properly trained the backups. Backups are incredibly important. Ask Georgia all about it after they met Tua one year, then met another backup the next year. Next man up.
@@bonkersmcgee4356 right. Because a freshman quarterback will magically carry a team in a nation championship game..
@@Striker50_ Tua says hi.
@@bonkersmcgee4356 tell em
Nick Saban's comments at halftime show what a classy guy he is. Saban never gloats....Saban seems to always show respect for an opposing team.
I'm bummed
Yep and the one thing he hates to do and sometimes it is unavoidable is running up the score....
@@Fultonfalcons86 Most coaches understand the fact that almost no lead is safe until you get to the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter & you have the ball on a 1st &.10. Look at what Cam Newton & Auburn did to Bama in 2010. Winning by 4 TD's going into the 4th quarter & still lost. Idk, why or how it happens BUT ever since I was young, I've almost always known when Bama was going to lose & manage to not watch the game because of it. Because Auburn had a chance at a Natty, I knew Bama was going to lose that game. The 2 Ole Miss loses, I was just busy & didn't see the games. Same with the loss to "Johnny Football" & aTm. But that loss to Urban & Ohio State & the 2nd Natty against Clemson, I had no doubt Bama was going to lose both of those games & I made sure I was busy during both games so I wouldn't be tempted to watch them lose. And the 2017 Auburn loss, I knew that one too, & I thought it was going to put Bama out of the playoff too. I had stopped paying attention til I heard Bama & Georgia was both in the Natty. And that one, I had no doubt Bama would win. I don't think Georgia has ever beaten Nick Saban at Alabama. And if they did, it was in his first 3-4 years. 2007 or 2010.
@Tim Polcyn Nope. And to be honest, glad I missed it! Idk what it is, but I always seem to NOT be watching when Bama loses. I was out & about trying to accomplish some things, & I tried to watch it with the CBS app on my phone. But the stupid app would show commercials just fine, no problem. But then during the game it would stop during the middle of each & every play. I could watch commercials & the beginning of plays but I didn't get to see the end of any plays. Even with a fast wifi it would do the same crap. But anyway, that's one of the main reasons I watch KZhead. Is cuz I missed the game & want to see it. Don't think I'll be reviewing this one though. BUT a friend told me he was watching & said in the second half Bama had gotten 1st & goal at the 3 yard line & threw all 3x's. I didn't see the game so I have no idea WHY they wouldn't choose to run the ball in that situation. But if they passed 3x after having a 1st & goal, that is on O'Brien I would think. And in my honest opinion, that is horrible play calling when you have Robinson & a massive offensive line! And if they score a TD in that situation instead of a Field goal, that's the difference in the game. However, with Saban talking about the fact the Aggies just lost 2 games in a row & it being a "trap game"... Saban IS AN INCREDIBLY SMART MAN!!! Maybe, Nick knows this team is NOT determined enough to win a Natty or even a SEC Championship. Maybe, he saw them losing somewhere along the way, & in seeing it, figured that MAYBE if they lost NOW, the team might grow enough determination & balls to go the rest of the season undefeated, in thinking that, he sort of pushed them in that direction & at the same time threw Jimbo Fisher a bone. Plus, there is also the probability that the Aggies lost their last 2 games before Alabama cuz they were preparing to play Alabama the whole 3 weeks. Idk if I believe any of that myself, but I do know that I had HOPED that this team COULD go undefeated & finally give Saban & Alabama a 29 game winning streak & then maybe more next year BUT I knew in my heart this team would NOT be able to do it. Maybe this is the year that Georgia finally comes thru & wins a Natty. I actually thought that when they upset Clemson in the opening game. But Bama's close call at the Swamp, I was thinking maybe that would light a fire under the teams arse' but evidently it wasn't enough. They better watch themselves cuz the rest of the schedule ain't an easy one. And Auburn ain't going to be a pushover at home, especially with a QB that's already won & lost an Iron Bowl.
"Will get stronger and stronger and stronger". This aged to perfection. RTR
Texas was very talented and gritty. Alabama just wore them down with stout defense and a very strong running game. Props to Texas. That team was littered with talent. Congrats to Alabama on what was the beginning of their 2nd dynasty period in my opinion and several more national championship teams to come. Not an Alabama fan but I can definitely respect their dominance over many years.
Let's be honest. It would have been a different game with Colt still in.
I feel two plays cost Texas this game #1 That dumb play call Mack and Greg Davis called that resulted in a turnover and 7pts for the Tide and the other one QB Garrett Gilbert’s sure fire TD pass dropped in the end zone from Texas WR .
@@tudevoid No Guarantee that it would. Colt went out pretty early. Bama at this time was a different team. They were designed to just wear out teams by running it down their throats. Not saying Bama would win or lose. But Colt going out early like he did is not a sure fire oh if Colt had stayed in Texas win.
@@charlesdoyle3630 not guaranteed, but more than likely. BAMA was good, but the game was close even with the back up. Colt would have a better chance for more plays and deeper play book. I would say it would have been more favored for the Horns to win that game.
@@tudevoid Likely is a stretch. Bama got in prevent defense after jumpung agead like they did. No way to know at this point how Colt would have played. No I do not think he would have played Toretta bad. But neither do I believe he would play as well as Manziel did. It would have been alot closer tho if he had stayed in. McElroy had bad ribs. Texas could not stop the run at all.
Oh that Colt injury still pisses me off to this day!!!!
If Colt didn't get hurt surely the short horns would of won. Did the Texas coach plan on Colt playing on the defensive side of the ball too. And what if Mack Brown retired after this game and Texas was left with Muschump as the head coach? What a complete and total nightmare that could have turned out to be.
@@ecjraj probably not.
@txtst if colt stayed they still of lost
As a USC fan as much as we hate Texas that was tough to watch so early in a game.
Lmao
This injury changed the trajectory of Texas football for the next decade and maybe even college football as a whole
WWATCHING THIS GAME 12 YEARS LATER , I COULD SEE THAT TEXAS WAS MATCHING UP POUND FOR POUND, UNTIL COLT MCCOY WENT OUT AND THEN THEY STARTED TO LOOK LOST.
One fucking drive? Give me a break. You must be a shorthorn.
As a team you can't do that... Texas lost themselves this game
@@MJForever1999 Because of an injury Bama caused? Nah.
I remember watching this game on pins and needles as Texas' offense began to start clicking in the second half. I think the Alabama team was emotionally exhausted by the rematch with Florida the previous game. And whoever would have thought that Saban could have signed such quality quarterbacks in years to come. I was used to quarterback game managers like McElroy.
He won u a natty, which division 1 school did you play at?
@@wildestcowboy2668 lol salty?
@@keshawnstanford5336 How is he salty? He was essentially saying be grateful.
Your so right. McElroy thinks he was a legend but that's in his mind. His many shortcomings was overshadowed by this great team.
@@thadcraft6415 He played for bama and won bama their first natty since David Palmer walked all over Miami in 92. I'd say Greg's resume is better than mine!
I am from Brazil,but I loved american football.Thanks for the post!
I don't care who you got at QB, Ingram and Richardson had 300 combined rush yds with 2 TDs each. That's just hard to beat.
Actually they had 225 combined. 49 of Richardson's came on one play.
colt for the entire game would've made a huge difference for texas. your assertion that ingram and rich. would've won it regardless for bama is total speculation. texas would've stuffed the box to fix that one. mcelroy was no colt!
They kind of had the ball more often since Gilvert was going 3 and out. No can say who would have won if colt didnt get hurt, but it definitely would have been closer. That much can't be refuted.
Bullshit. Colt's QB play woulda made a huge difference on how this game woulda played out period. When Colt got hurt Texas player's were very tentative!
Bama fan and I can't lie, I was like Colts absence definitely altered the game, I think we would've won but not in the fashion that we did
You definitely would have lost LOL
@@raelockletree3858 You actually can't say that. There's no way to definitively know.
@@codybyrd7272 Texas offense shits on Alabama all day dude, watch what Ehlinger does this coming senior year
@@raelockletree3858 ok??? so the game would've been like 45-40. because Texas couldn't stop Alabama at all until Bama went super conservative because they had a big lead. As for this year with Ehlinger, thats the same thing people said going into last season and then watched as Texas went 8-5 including barely beating Kansas and giving up 48 pooints. Unless they improve their 75th ranked defense in points allowed it won't matter how good Ehlinger is because they won't win any championships.

bs. i heard colt talk about the injury. it was real. colt was a player and would've played if possible.
This, the first Saban Bama Championship that had a "Yeah but...", the next one made him and Bama legit.
There is some jackass out there that "yeah but" any national championship he has won at Alabama. The "yeah but" come from fans who can't accept that their team is not Alabama.
Hearing kirks voice and how it sounds really tells you how old this game is haha
Mack Brown teams never gave up. Say what you want about him, his teams always played hard for him. And he could easily be sitting here with 2 or 3 rings and 3 Heisman winners when he was at Texas. Simply just had some bad luck. He was a great recruiter obviously. He had recruiting on lock for 15 years. And he was great about surrounding himself with great assistants and delegating responsibilities. I remember seeing him and Saban up at the podium talking pictures together. I was thinking 2 legends right there
What happened to Texas after this game? They just didn't get back to their original selves.... Seems like alabama broke them cause you never heard anything else about Texas anymore till now 12 years later because of sark...Texas could be a sleeper team this year
@ontariopride7988 you predicted it
Can we talk about how Dareus’s Hit was COMPLETELY CLEAN You wouldn’t call that a targeting today But it took someone out We need more of that kinda toughness
Almost took two qbs out that night!
I was there on the Alabama side in the corner of the endzone. It did not look good early but things worked out. When leaving the game I saw Coach Saban leaving in a golf cart and he still look pissed from the Gatorade bath. Mark Ingram came by in another car and he was far more happy. Another memory from the game, Flea from the Chili Peppers playing bass for the anthem. So odd. The next day we drove over to Vegas and at a rest stop half way there we met a man that would become infamous a year later for killing some trees in Auburn. What a trip.
Hell Yeah bad ass game Roll Tide all the way
That man's dead, show some respect for him
@@wildestcowboy2668 No chance in hell showing respect to a guy who poisoned the trees for someone putting a jersey on the Bear Bryant statue. And to make worse former state trooper. Go ahead and delete my comment but fact stands he got butt hurt about a jersey put on the statue and turned around and poisoned the trees on Auburn campus. Then admitted on national syndicated sports radio he did it.

Thanks for the video!
A Decade of redemption for the Alabama Crimson Tide of the 2010's. After a previous decade of NCAA Sanctions, a near death penalty, bad coaching hires, 3 losing seasons (2000, 2003, 2006), a Heisman trophy winner in Mark Ingram, and a National Championship of 2009, Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide has won it's 4th National Championships this decade.

He’s played for certain other teams like the Redskins when they had an injury and he played well. Why do you think he’s been employed in the NFL for 10+ years? It’s impressive to stick around the league that long.
I always wondered if Colt got hurt or if he wanted to save his draft stock? It didn't look like a shoulder injury but I wasn't getting hit by 2x pro bowlers either
That was an injury Sometimes the ones that don't look like much can be the worst.
he was always a bit small and soft. my guess is that it was a mix of both.
These cameras don’t do justice to the speed of the hit. Dareus is like 320 Ibs and lead with his helmet into the shoulder of Colt. Almost anyone would’ve been injured in this situation.
Me too!
@@OperationPitbull I get your point, but it couples with why I like bigger QBs. If he would have hit a 6'4" / 240 QB, then the chances of an injury are less, but still possible.

Colt Mcoy's arm died that night . Send flowers
And according to some Texas fans their football team died with his arm. Must of been one heck of and arm injury to take 10+ years for that arm to recover.
@@ecjraj the heart of the Texas program is what died that night. They lost heart.
It is odd how so many Texas fans will point to the loss of Colt McCoy as the reason for their loss. It is even more puzzling that they will ignore Alabama's incredible defensive performance and more importantly, Alabama's offensive performance. If Texas had a great defense they could have survived Alabama's offense. They were not able.....Alabama won on both sides of the ball. Roll Tide!!!
The Gilbert Curse is still alive and well in Austin
I went to Coleman High and we played against Colt when he was at Jim Ned. I remember the game against Coleman when he first hurt his shoulder. He had a bright future and would love to have seen what would have happened if this wouldn’t have happened.
That Texas D came to play. With the early Bama turnovers, if Colt was playing it probably would have been 14-0 or 10-0 at worse. The playoff before halftime doesn’t happen. Bama was 1-10 on 3rd down. Texas was sacking McCelroy left and right. If Colt was in there extending drives they wouldn’t have been so tired. They finally broke down when the offense couldn’t do anything and they defense was on the field so much.
If, if, if.

That great Alabama team made McElroy look as good as he did. Just about anyone with a heartbeat could have won with that team at quarterback... RTR
Don't think Greg was bad, where did you play division 1 football at?
It was sad that Colt McCoy got injured and couldn't play the rest of the game. Once he was out Alabama was going to win. But Texas with McCoy had a great chance to win that championship game. McCoy was on a hot streak!
Jeff Ulmer I never said McCoy slip and fell he was running and got hit directly in the shoulder by Marcell Dareus and when he went out that mostly took away any chance Texas had of winning the game it's tough. to lose a qb that has 45 wins as a starter
Jalen Hurts was 25-2 SEC Offensive PotY... yet true freshman Tagavailoa won when he spotted UGA 13 before the half. Next excuse? Oh wait... I forgot Texas was a one-man roster so I guess there aren't anymore.
Texas fought like hell that night. Big respect to them. At least they didn't lay down and die like Notre Dame did a few years later!
ND always chokes
Funny how Mc Elroy criticized Jalen Hurts. If Alabama had to depend on him passing, Alabama would have lost a lot of games. Thank God for Alabama's running game. Poor Julio, he didn't have a quarterback. Greg was 6 of 11 the entire game and wasn't pulled in the second half.
I had forgotten how mediocre McElroy was in this game. The future Alabama GOAT (in my opinion) was lurking in the shadows on the sidelines. AJ would take “game manager” to another level.

Shit Never Gets Old. #RMFT
The day Colt let down the entire state of Texas.
back when texas had a defense l0l
The New York Giants were able to win the Super Bowl in 1990 with Jeff Hostetler after Phil Simms got knocked out with a season ending injury. The Giants however weren't some pussy ass spread offense team that relied mostly on the talents of the QB position to win games and had a reliable rushing attack. Balance is key. Texas had no running game in 2009, and their weakness became their undoing in this game.
Back to where it all started RMFT

i just finished watching the first two offensive possessions by both teams. texas was taking it to bama on both offense and defense before colt got hurt. looked like texas would've won the game comfortably with colt.
That's why you make defensive adjustments and play 4 quarters.you can say this could or that could but guess what it didnt

Horns win by 10+ if Colt stayed in. Gilbert went 15/40 (37.5%) and 4 int. Inexperienced Freshman playing the best team in the biggest game you could be in.
ESPN classics
I hear "Oh if McCoy was in the whole game, Texas would have won." But Texas would have had him running the entire game and he would have recieved plenty of hits like he did in the first quarter. Alabama is more physical and their running game is much better.
He got hit at the wrong, or perfect depending on who's side you're on, place. Colt has been semi prone to injury his entire football career and always ran, so it's not likely that Colt would've been injured at any time during this game. That being said, how can Bama fans truly believe they would've won with Colt playing. Texas was driving and going to score one way or another on that first drive and there was no doubt Texas was going to do it all night long if he didn't get hurt. Congrats to Bama. I'm a "what if" kind of guy, but it puts wonders in all Longhorns fans minds on this game when we only lost by 3 with a true freshmen QB with very little experience.
Isaac Gomez Just observe Saban's reaction during the closing seconds. He wasnt satisfied because he knew he won a game against a fighter with one arm tied up..
@@isaacgomez5684 I hate to say it but colt didn't injure himself an Alabama player delivered the blow, and accidentally assured their own victory
TEXAS WAS RIGHT WITH ALABAMA WITH 3 MINUTES AND 21 SECONDS TO PLAY AND THEN THE DEFENSE OF BAMA LAID THE WOOD TO THEM.
Alabama didn’t play their best game. Still a good game.
@@kevinworley1254 I was thinking this as the game came up on my KZhead feed. What was going on with Bama early on? The fake punt? Fumbling a kickoff? It seemed like they had a lot of nerves early on. Then, in the third quarter, they played really conservative on offense. Nick Saban can say that Bama didn't play well all he wants, but sometimes coaches' play calling, when it is more conservative than normal, can do that to a team.
Against their true freshman back up qb... lol
Greatest thing is that several Bama fans have confessed that if colt doesn’t get hurt then they lose that game no question
I appreciate the passion of the Texas fanbase. But you guys really need to move past this game already. All the "but what if" scenarios just distract you from the present. I feel like that is what happened to the Texas football program as a whole after this game. The Longhorns simply couldn't get over the loss... It's been more than 10 years now. Bama won the game. Please for your own sake, move on.
@@crimsontidezone i agree. Well said. Can't live in the past.
I would love to see this game played again with colt in it and if Bama won again we can say, see even if you had colt in it we still win, but I still can't believe he got hurt, in the first quarter, but I we'll always remember this game as this was the last time my dad was alive when Alabama went to the BCS and happy to watch it with him win or lose.
I mean we would have knocked his bitch ass either way. He would have gotten hit like that the whole game and his body wouldn't have been able to take it.
