Bama can thank their lucky stars for Colt getting hurt on the 5th play of the game. Had Colt McCoy stayed in the game, those first 2 mistakes Bama made, would have been lights out for the Tide. Texas would have rolled them out of the Rose Bowl.
Gilbert, having been thrown into the game was lost for a while and one can understand that. A true Freshman in the biggest game of the year, no experience, very little playing time, except for a couple of mop up jobs, he was in over his head. He did however show flashes of brilliance, but the 4 interceptions killed him. Better luck next year.
