Don't believe the hype. It seems everyone on MJ's is on Texas tonight, but why? Texas has the #1 ranked run defense in the country, true, but who runs the ball in the Big 12? They haven't seen the likes of Ingram, Trent Richardson, Roy Upchurch, etc., nor have the dealt with an offensive line as physical and talented as Alabama's.
When Texas is on offense, look for Rolando McClain to spy McCoy all game. His running ability will be neutralized. Bama will make him VERY uncomfortable in the pocket. Couple this pressure with Texas' inept running game and you'll see how Bama's defense will control the tempo of this game, as well as field position.
After 35+ days of preparation, Saban will have his boys ready to go, and I honestly don't see the 'Horns being able to handle the physicality of Alabama.
Just my 2 pennies. GL2A.
