Passed the test? His team lost. That's all that matters. He failed the test.
Kyler was just as deserving as Tua. The difference in these teams was not the QBs. It was athletes on defense.
The final score ended up being about what most expected. Seemed very ho-hum. I think Clemson and Alabama were both looking past this weekend a little bit. Next one will be a great game, I bet Alabama is favored by only 5 or so. Will be very competitive.
I actually think Murray played a better game than Tua. Tua had it pretty easy. His receivers made some great catches and the running game was a machine. Murray actually had to make things happen. Props to him for not wussing out at the end.
I think OU psyched themselves out at the start of the game. They were playing timid, once they found out that Bama was human too they looked more respectable. The defense is what it is.
Cry? That’s what OU QBs do when they lose on the national stage. Over and over and over...
Saban was thrilled with his defense in the second half. Foot off the gas my ass. He was counting on his defense to do what they did the first half. Texas would’ve won if Colt hadn’t got hurt.
He definitely failed the test. He was missing easy throws all night. You could tell he was not ready for the big stage he was throwing off his back foot a lot and missing wide open throws. He got outplayed by Tua, he was making every throw and was extremely poised. Tua is the better quarterback no doubt
That was not a coaching thing, that was a players/recruiting thing. The starting OU front 4 would not have been in the rotation at Alabama. Same could be said about the secondary.
And firing the defensive staff won't fix that defense. Need some dudes up front and some length at corner would be nice.
It strikes me as odd that OU fans are on a Longhorn site posting after their team got beat. Why are they not posting on an OU site somewhere?
When you can hit your receivers every time and only miss 3 throws, and then you have running backs getting hit 3 yards out then running through players to still get a first down and more too easy
They were probably doing the Horns down tonight if I had to guess
LET me help you out here Deej. Tonight one of the qbs was facing the 96th ranked pass defense. The other qb was facing a much higher ranked defense. Now wouldn’t you agree that Alabama’s defense is better than Georgia’s defense? Now I sure recall Tua going up against that Georgia defense and what we’re his stats? How many picks? Most folks agree his performance was so poor in that game that he lost the Heisman because if that game. Now OU lost today but put Murray’s numbers up that he put up on Bama defense today. He did more than enough to win. We have no defense, same story as last year.

To compare Tua to Murray compare Murray vs Alabama to Tua vs Georgia. Apples to apples. Tua was awful in that game and put up no where near the numbers against Georgia that Murray put up against Bama or are you saying OU’s defense is good? Either way your arguments are not very well thought out
Thats the exact same thing I said about OU letting Georgia offvthe ropes.
agree. One qb definitely had an easier row to hoe tonight. Props to Tua though because he did well. He has some great receivers as well
Like all died in the wool burnt orange bloods I enjoyed the first quarter and watching OK's defense trying to stop Bama knowing full they couldn't.
But on a serious note is Bama just to good for everyone else? Is Clemson the only team that can challenge them? They won by an average of 33ppg in the regular season. Only GA in the title game was close.
Am I the only one who thinks like this?

Nope. He did enough to lose by 11. Could have been more, but bama took a knee.
If you want to see enough to win, I recommend the 2005 NC game. That's what enough to win looks like.
However, I do applaud you for changing the subject again.

But I'm trying to see things from a big picture. I look at the playoffs and The two teams that got in and the two teams that were left out.
The Golden Domers and OK both lost convincingly tonight.
The two teams that were left out tOSU and GA play on Tuesday. Right now I give WA a decent chance against the buckeyes they matchup better than ESPN thinks. And just because it's UM's last game doesn't guarantee anything it didn't do MB any good.
And if TX and WA win on Tuesday that would mean that the playoffs, at least this year, were a waste of time.
Point being I just don't like seeing one team being above everyone else and only one team that can challenge them. Btw FB it's the 4th straight year they've played in the playoffs and the third time they've played for it all.
Alabama is on another level than everyone else. Clemson and Georgia are the only teams that can match up to them. We know how Clemson does it with the PEDs. I suspect Alabama does as well. Their players just look too developed to be in college still.
And to think he tried to say Kylar Murray was the best quarterback ever. VY was the best quarterback to step foot on a college football field no doubt.
VY would have won 2 nattys in a row had he stayed for his senior season.
Bet some of those OUsux posters on here aren’t rooting for Texas anymore. Losing like that makes you bitter and defensive.
Having the worst defense in the league would make anyone bitter
Guys, no one likes to give Gooners more sheet than me but let's be honest for a second . . . OU beat BAMA for 3 quarters and got destroyed in 1.
OU played tight and terrible in the 1st quarter. That cost them the game. If OU would have started cocky and loose in the 1st quarter they may have well won that game . . . Even with that terrible D.
Think about this for a second, OU put up 34 on Bama in 3 quarters. Wait, what . . . I thought the BAMA D was world class, head and shoulders better than everyone? Yeah, Bama D got exposed last night. And don't give me this 'foot on the brake' nonsense. Saban wanted to win by 60 . . . didnt happen.
What I saw last night makes me realize Texas has a legit shot against Georgia. If we come out confident, cocky and loosey goosey, I think we'll win. Bama and Georgia can be beaten, they're not superman.

Is Bama beatable? Of course they are. But ou did not belong on the same field as them. And my goodness does CD Lamb push off a lot. That was more accurately something like a 56-14 game.
Here’s what a program like Bama (not that there are any others) has to put up with - stomping teams out in the first quarter, then having officials start giving the other team sympathy calls and no-calls for the remaining 3. That sh!t has got to get old.

I thought that Alabama came out playing their brand of football and totally dominated ou. Then they became way more conservative offensively and played an extremely sloppy an uncharacteristically bad final 3 quarters.
I don't believe that. I just wanted you to see how ridiculous it looked.
To bad football is played for 60 minutes. Who cares what OU did when they did, they LOST!!$
It's a nice thought about OU outplaying AL over the last three quarters.
But unfortunately I don't think the Tide was ever in serious danger of losing that game.
AL could have scored about 80 points if it had needed to. I really believe that's true.
What I'm hoping is that this year will be the fuel our program uses to build a legit top-ten defense. Starting with a lincoln-riley like DC hire.
Hope your game against GA is well-officiated with no injuries on either side UTGrad87.
