Read the article - to me, really nothing new or extraordinary said by the writer, Bama fans or players about that game.
I don't care what Bama fans say. I have said many times on this board that I'm convinced the Horns win that game if Colt plays the entire game. IMO the Horns were laser focused and had the game plan / blueprint to beat Bama that night despite a poor running game reputation. Bama was on their heels early and the Horns had serious momentum. They were energized and highly motivated by the early success they had.
Colt goes down and it took something out of the team - you could see / sense when it happened and as the game wore on. Over the course of the game, I think the Defense wore down, Gilbert's inexperience showed and his shovel pass fumble that gave Bama 7 was just a killer. Williams dropped pass that was a sure TD still haunts me.
I don't like the word luck or lucky and I rarely use it about football. Bama was a very good team - give 'em credit. They were not lucky, they just executed on the opportunities they had to win.
