Want to chime in on a particular topic? Just jump into the comments section of its respective story. Here are a few topics that have already got conversations rolling Mosley was preparing for Saturday's U. Down on the field, before the game, I visited with several Alabama officials.

One by one, they smiled, shook hands and told the truth. They said they were as nervous as could be. So far, except for the defense, it Tide trails as Texas kicks field goals on its first two possessions,.

This was Alabama's first title since , its eighth since the advent of the polls in the s and its seventh Associated Press championship. The top-ranked Tide won the AP title unanimously. Saban picked up the trophy Friday morning, and someday soon, his likeness will go up next to those of Bryant, his protege, Gene Stallings, and the other coaching greats whose statues stand outside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Because of that tradition, it makes me feel very good we've been able to contribute to that in a positive way. Saban's defense changed the tenor of the title game suddenly and startlingly when Marcell Dareus hit McCoy, injuring the quarterback's shoulder and knocking him out on Texas' fifth offensive play.

I didn't try to, but it felt great. McCoy said he lost feeling in his right shoulder but wasn't in pain. He asked to come back in, but coach Mack Brown didn't want to risk it -- a decision that will certainly be discussed for a while down in Austin. Not to be, though, and when Dareus picked off backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert 's shovel pass and returned it 28 yards for a score right before halftime, the Tide was rolling with a lead that looked like it would get bigger.

Gilbert, the highly recruited freshman who had only thrown 26 college passes, grew up in a hurry. He led the No. Texas got the ball back on its 7-yard line with about 3 minutes left, still trailing by three. Gilbert had a chance to complete the comeback and go down as one of the most out-of-nowhere success stories in college football history.

Instead, another unlikely star, Alabama linebacker Eryk Anders, got a blindside sack and stripped the ball. Teammate Courtney Upshaw recovered. Three plays later, Ingram scored from the 1 to give 'Bama some breathing room. A few minutes after that, Trent Richardson scored to make a close game look more lopsided than it really was.
