[Husker] McCoy leadership

Not sure about that, I thought Saban really dialed things back after Colt went out.

However, based on the way the first few minutes went, the Tide seemed to be looking
for a way to LOSE the game.  Fake punt on the first series of the game??  And did the
entire special teams have a brain fart on that kickoff?  Hey, that's a LIVE BALL!!

I think by the time Colt McCoy got back on the field, the trend was clear, and he may have
been drugged up for pain, too.  I suspect he was more hyper when UT started to get back in 
the game late, but the TV folks didn't show it.  He doesn't strike me as the cheerleader type,
though, unlike Peyton Manning.  (I still recall Manning directing the Vols band in Rocky Top
in their NC game.)  

While I feel sorry for Colt missing most of the game, mostly because it pretty much ruined
any game tension (real or manufactured by Brent), I have no sorrow over Texas having lost.  
In a battle of egos between Nick Saban and Mac Brown, the loser is humanity.  

Give me a game like Northwestern - Auburn or CMU -Troy over that NC snoozer any day!  But given 
how Boise State shut down BCS #3 TCU's high scoring offense, had Texas lost (like they deserved 
to) in the Big XII Championship game, last night's game might have been even less interesting.

I'm not sure that injury might not play to Colt's benefit, if it drops him down to a mid or 
late first round draft choice rather than a earlier one he might wind up on a team that has
a good chance of being in the playoffs rather than a prayer, unlike Suh. :sigh:
