Everyone is banking on the fact that Bama beat up on Florida, that was a full month ago and the momentum is gone.  This game is a coin flip, one thing Bama won't have is SEC refs who weaseled wins for both FU and Bama to reach the SEC title game.  Texas ML +160 is the best bet on the board, dogs won outright in 3 of the 4 BCS Bowls this year...

In my humble opinion, I think the only chance Texas really has in this game is to jump out to an early lead and make Bama chase.  That is the only real chance Texas has of making Bama's offense one-dimensional.  As long as Bama has the lead or the game is close, Bama will continue to run a balanced attack.

To be sure Bama's pass defense is definitely not as formidable as Bama's run defense, but they are about as "vunerable" as Fort Knox, and Texas will learn that tomorrow night the hard way.  UT's small receivers will get manhandled by Bama's very physical secondary, and they will struggle to get seperation all night.  That's bad news for a one-dimension offense like Texas.  Accordingly, I don't believe Texas will score more than 10 points in this game.

Again, very nice job Calbear!!!

10 Points?..wtf?......Ok...Bama's D is not that of Nebraska and I think there will be plenty of separation and I also think shipley will have a field day. I dont know who will win, but I expect more points in this game than what it's being made out to be..I look for 51-55 points total with the winner winning by no more than 3 - 5 points...

Great Write-up Calbear but the one question mark that is making me shy away from Texas is their running game, or lack thereof.  I don't think newton will get it done, forcing the Horns into a lot of 3rd and long situations, thus making them one dimensional.  thoughts???

Nice write up Cal Bear-- I love Texas tonight myself-- One interesting stat I noticed is Alabama has given up 20+ yard plays over 30 times this year--  when I checked into it further 90% of those plays were pass plays-- I won't repeat your post but all of those reasons is why I too am backing Tej-as!!!!!

Thx fellas for the input and wishes.  BOL to all.

Venice- I agree, stretching the field will make it a bit easire for Texas to run.

Jimmy-I know you expect total domination by the Tide, however, hatever the outcome as far as the spread goes...I hope we see a good game.  GL

Koko- LOL Thx and appreciate the kind words.  BOL

sharky- Can't argue with any of that. GL

Danny- I do think it will be difficult for Texas to run against Bama.  That's why it is important that they utilize their short passing game to compensate for a lack of running game.  And running a spread offense will make getting those dump offs a little easier.  But like Venice mentioned, if they are able to stretch the field, running lanes will open up.  GL on your play.

Northsider- I agree, I believe Bama is vulnerable in their pass defense and Texas will have to exploit that to have a chance. GL
