Prior to kickoff, the Keith Jackson tossed coin landed in favor of the Crimson Tide. Alabama elected to receive the kick. After starting at their own 33, the Tide regressed toward its own endzone. Head coach Nick Saban dialed up one of the dumbest calls of his career. Bama attempted a fake, but the pass from punter P.J. Fitzgerald was intercepted on the Tide 42.
A few plays later, Texas tailback Trey Newton ran the ball down to the alabama 16. On the next play from scrimmage, star QB Colt McCoy went down with a shoulder injury, after a minimal gain. (Garrett Gilbert inserted into the game). Texas RB D.J. Monroe rushed to the 1 yard line. But, Alabama's defense held the Longhorns to a field goal.
Julio Jones of Alabama failed to cover a short kick by Texas and the Longhorns again took possession within Crimson Tide territory. But, the Longhorns could only tack 3 more points on the board.
Alabama has dodged some huge mistakes early. They are very fortunate to trail by just 6 points. Unfortunately, Colt McCoy might be done for the evening.
Texas has sacked McElroy 3 times on 2 Bama possessions. The punt by Fitzgerald sails into the endzone. The Colt McCoy-less Longhorns will have the ball on their own 20 with 4:29 left in 1st quarter.

Great news! A buddy of mine just presented me with tickets to the Underarmour senior bowl in mobile, alabama.
Tebow is supposed to be playing so that he can continue to try and prove his worth as a quarterback. Hopefully, i'll be able to get me some autographs.
Me and David are looking into visiting during my spring break to go to a hawks game with you. I'll let you know exact dates soon as I figure it out.
