even with McCoy getting tagged out on the first snap, at least he didn't cry after the game.

What a sucky way to start your career as a quarterback than to be a true freshman taking your first snaps in a championship game.

Hats off to Gilbert for keeping it somewhat close.

So what you are saying is Texas sucks?

Pretty sad when the backwards state of 'Bama can prove it.

They had to get a QB from Dallas to do it though.

yeah, the horns brought it back when I thought it was all but over, & Gilbert did a hell of a job

What a sucky way to have to learn to play. I'd be stuck on bad calls by myself for the rest of my life if it was me, but I think Mack will likely work that out of him.

Look for him to roll 3 more years. Look for McCoy as a top draft pick.

Gilbert came up in the 2nd half. I actually started pulling for him. It was a great game for sure. When McCoy went out, I thought the Tide was just going to crush. The last 5 minutes was just pure inexperience.

I think Gilbert will have a hell of a next season with this game under his belt.

Oh yeah...f*#k you Musburger. You're retarded on a level with TheMontashu. And f#*k you Big East officials. Way to NOT call pass interference against the Horns all night.

That alone make McCoy better than Tebow in my book. And Im a very avid Texas hater. USC ftw.

So you're saying The fact that Tebow is pationate enough to be upset after a loss makes McCoy the better qb? Tuck Fexas and McCoy ... It is unfortunate that McCoy was injured then maybe the game would have been interesting enough for me to stay awake during

Too bad you didn't keep watching. It got pretty interesting midway through the 4th when that poor backup got a little confidence, started making great passes and brought it within 3. It was an impressive performance. Too bad about that sack/fumble, but there's not much he could have done: nobody was there to block the defender on his blind side.

After such a rough start I was happy to see Gilbert throw some good passes, and bring it to a close game. I hope he can get over that fumble to see how well he did.

Definitely at least two obvious missed interference calls against Alabama.

 

[antimony]

Ditto! Good job Gilbert... I think you did a fine job.

Nothing like admitting on national tv that your arm is "dead". I hope it's only a bad stinger and he's able to rock 'n roll at the combine. Turned out to be a much better game than I thought it'd be for sure. I'd kinda like to see McCoy in a 'Hawks uniform next season so Hasslebeck can mentor him.

For a kid that was in High School last year, He did pretty well. I can't imagine what was going through his head. Texas came out and punched Alabama square in the mouth, but had to throw the entire game plan out when McCoy went out of the game.

FYI, if they say it's seperated, it's usually easy to diagnose. Your arm hanging down at your side with your collarbone sticking up is real easy to spot. He won't be at the combine unless it's just a level 1.

That freshman played awesome. I'm a UNC fan and we've got a quarterback who's in his 3rd year and can't hit the broad side of a barn. I listened to it on ESPN radio and at the end of the 3rd, the commentator busts out with "Well, this is about as boring of a quarter of football as you're gonna get." Classic line.
