Bama Rolls to Championship

College football finally came to an end last night
in the BCS National Championship game at the Rose
Bowl in Pasadena, California. It was billed as a
showdown between the number one team in the
land against number two. It was far from the great
game that was expected. Alabama defeated Texas
37-21.
Top rated Alabama looked shaky at the start of
the game, but the Texas Longhorns got the shock
of the game on the fifth snap of the ball. Texas
quarterback Colt McCoy received a shoulder injury
on a hard tackle and was lost for the remainder of
the game. Bama turned to a ground game that not
only ground out huge hunks of yardage, but ground
up the Steers at the same time. Texas was forced
to turn to freshman quarterback Garrett Gilbert,
and to say he was in over his head would be a
gross understatement.
It was the eighth national championship for
Alabama, who actually won the title when they
defeated Florida for the Southeastern Conference
Championship.
McCoy spent the entire first half in the locker room
and the second half on the sidelines cheering on his
teammates. He remains the winningest quarterback
in the history of college football, having led the Steers
to 45 victories in his four years at Austin.
