Texas defense looks good on the stat sheet, but let's think of the teams they play~ Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska~ those are teams that i consider "worth mentioning"
Of those 6 teams 2~ Oklahoma & Nebraska play an NFL style offense AKA NOT SPREAD! Alabama as we know does not play a spread offense, they play an NFL style offense, with an emphasis of shoving the ball down their opponents throat by pounding the ground game (Sounds inappropriate; I know). Although neither Oklahoma nor Nebraska was able to do much on the stat sheet offensively against Texas, Alabama is a more complete team than Oklahoma and Nebraska. Knowing that Texas struggles against NFL style offenses and good defensive teams, there is no doubt in my mind that Texas will lose the National Championship game to a superior SEC team.
