The Alabama Crimson Tide won the 2010 BCS National Championship last night at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. They hung on to beat the Texas Longhorns 37-21, though the game was much closer than the scoreline suggests.
The Tide's defense were the heroes of the game, as they knocked the Longhorns' gunslinger, and two time Walter Camp Award winner, Colt McCoy out of the game early and then went on to seal the victory by forcing a sack fumble late in the game.
It turned out to be a see-saw affair which saw Texas take a 6-0 lead at the end of the first quarter after two field goals, only to be down 24-6 at halftime due in part to touchdown runs from game MVP and Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram Jr. and Trent Richardson. The tide also added a field goal and Texas looked really down and out heading to the locker rooms after an interception was returned for another touchdown by Marcell Dareus as time expired on the first half.
Texas surged after the break, however, with true freshman backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert throwing two touchdown receptions to All-American Jordan Shipley, which brought them back to only a 3 point deficit, trailing 'Bama 21-24.
Then everything got away from them with under three minutes left as Eryk Anders blindsided Gilbert, forcing the fumble in the shadow of the Texas goalposts. Ingram scored his second touchdown of the night, followed by Richardson doing the same after the game was out of hand.
Alabama finished the year 14-0, bringing home an eighth National Championship and their first since 1992.
