Very, very impressive showing by Texas. Bama has some work to do, seems like the gap between them and Georgia is growing in the SEC, not closing.

If that makes you happy, you would have been much happier at halftime

I think the shine might be coming off of
Bama because Saban has to be seen as retiring soon, And the recruits have to know that.

I And losses like this, we'll just reinforce that.

I’m sure Milroe will improve, but he was brutal — Texas might have three better QBs on its roster.

This felt like the end of the Saban dynasty, to the extent that could exist beyond UGA winning back-to-back titles.

That was Saban’s first double-digit home loss of his entire career, so says ESPN.

And Texas literally left 14 or 17 depending on view points on the field due to dropped perfectly placed passes.

Saban went 12-0 in the regular season in his second year at Bama. 6-6 the first year, but all the losses were by single digits.

LSU lost 19-7 to Florida at home in 2003.

Bama looked slow, confused, tentative on both sides of the ball. Not like a Saban team at all.

if not for dropped passes and a missed FG Texas could’ve scored 50+
Seems like Dabo and Saban are having a toughter time now that they can't corner the market on paying for recruits.

You hate to see it.

If Texas goes undefeated we will be in the playoff. No way on earth the committee would pass up the marketing opportunity of an undefeated Texas team. One of Michigan and OSU will have a loss.
