And you certainly don't allow both guys over 100 yards. Texas made those guys look like Darren McFadden and Felix Jones out there instead of like the mere pretty good SEC backs they are.

The one area Texas played well on defense was pass coverage. McElroy had plenty of time to throw whenever he dropped back, but no one to throw to. Almost every time McElroy got pressured it was because he held the ball trying to make something happen rather than getting rid of it. But it didn't matter, Texas needed to make it so McElroy had to step up and beat them (which I don't think he's good enough to have done), but the run defense was so weak that McElroy's poor performace wasn't an issue.

The best defense for Texas tonight would have been McCoy being healthy and possibly sustaining a drive or two to keep Bama's offense off the field for a while.

Did you watch the game? The only reason our defense started wearing down is because Gilbert's first 10 starts were 3-and-out and are d didn't have a chance to breathe for 2 minutes. Have you every played football?

Like I said, 3 of Bama's touchdowns were because of Gilbert turnovers giving them the td or at least short field. Would have been a completely different game with McCoy in and I think that's clear when you look at all the media "what if?" articles floating around out there.

Oh also, Gilbert scored more points against Bama than Tim Tebow.

Once the Texas D got a breather at half time and Gilbert started producing better in the second half, Bama was held scoreless until near the very end of the game with those touchdowns off turnovers.

yeah this is pretty fucked up considering Penn's only losses were against two BCS bowl winners
