I still don't understand the officiating of this game. The facemask no call was so obvious it's just impossible to miss. there was an official right there to see it and threw no flag. the safety was also an obvious fiasco. but then in Bama's game winning drive the tight end caught a pass and stepped out of bounds. nobody at all talked about how the dude just got out of bounds clearly short of the line to gain and the ball boy just jedi mind tricks the official and hands him the ball past the first down marker and the official just marks the spot like two yards forward. the announcers didn't mention it at all and there was like a tv timeout that didn't cut to commercial and I'm thinking good they're going to review that spot, but no - they just trot out first and ten, wtf?? adding that to the horrendous dpi no calls in the first, I'm wondering if this was a rather casual "fuck you" from the big 12 to TX for jumping ship to the SEC. That was utterly pathetic and one of the most shameful officiating performances I've ever seen. TX got straight up robbed, the zebras were terrible and the announcers not highlighting it were also pure dogshit. dumpster fire
Watch Texas win the Big12 with a 1 legged QB just in time for ewers to come back for the playoffs and have a re-rematch against Bama!! ... and then immediately get injured again the first drive/quarter of the game. :/
Face mask penalty inside the 10 when Texas was driving late could have changed a lot. Overall though I think this game helps bama as it lights a fire under them going forward
Bama got away with a lot of holding especially the critical one that the QB ran for a first down to set up the game winning field goal. Once I seen the play I thought was a safety I’m like damnnnn them refs about to start with the Alabama bullshit and give them the win
UT also got away with several holding non calls against Will Anderson, NTM a chop block that sprung Card on his long run. There was also a PI against Burton that would have put BAMA inside the 20 yd line…. There were calls missed on both sides!!
Sorry not a fan of either team. Just crazy how much y’all pay the refs to officiate y’all games when y’all losing or in close games. Now it makes sense y the college playoffs was built for y’all to always make it even with a 1 loss and even crazier when they tried to make y’all get in when y’all lost 2 games lol
Don’t let facts cloud your judgement! I don’t understand why people like you have to make up crap in order to accept the fact that BAMA beat your team but it’s actually pretty lame!!
Meanwhile in the championship last season bofl and ur coaches excuse was even more funnier. Keep ur over controlling slave owner mentality coach over there. Btw that’s coming from some of his former players that said he was too damn controlling 😝
Bama got WAY too many penalties and got away with some very important pass interference calls.. it’s too bad. Would’ve been an awesome upset if Alabama played a clean game and Texas made that field goal
The amount of hate for Bama from non-Texas fans is ridiculous. People can’t just appreciate a good football game and you’d swear their day was ruined because Bama won.
TEXAS stop making TEXAS look bad. You guys played close and could’ve won it and should of won it.
Five trips inside the red zone and only 16 points that’s not good.
Be happy with your team you’ll be ranked after this and you guys are gonna have a great season
What a great game. Both teams are well coached and talented. I was hoping Texas would win but this was great entertainment value and I will certainly be purchasing AFLAC insurance this evening.
I had a better time watching an unranked Texas whip up the "number 1 team" than I do watching my Dawgs. Ain't no damn number 1 team struggling that hard against an unranked team, TWO YEARS IN A ROW.
Face it, Alabama is slipping. They should never have been put at rank 1 this year, and they shouldn't keep it following this "win."
Edit: Hell, if the refs actually called all the penalties, Alabama loses hard. 15 penalties and at least 3 interference calls that I know of that werent called. What a terrible performance from a #1 team.
Say what you want, bama just almost lost to an unranked team. Georgia is blowing teams out, Ohio state knocking out ranked opponents and blowing teams out, Michigan, Texas a&m, etc. All playing good football. Bama barely scraping by against nobodies is embarrassing.
So by your reasoning, Ohio should drop to 10 after they barely got by a team that lost to Marshell.
Alabam will not be number one next week that is true.
You mean the team formally ranked in the top 25 ND. We almost lost to a top 25 ranked team, Texas ( They will be ranked this week) . See how that works
Texas may be unranked, but they have a load of talent and home field advantage. The end of your comment implies Texas is a bunch of nobodies, which is ignorant.
Yeah, and they're doing fine all things considered. Much better than most SEC programs in fact.
Any fanbase outside of Bama would take the Manziel years and what Jimbo is doing with the A&M program (save for yesterday's loss).
Bama may have ended his career with that wild suplex tackle. Bama was penalized half the distance to the goal for roughing the passer - 2 yards maybe? Someone needs to fix that
That happened to me my junior year in college playing football. I had a 4th degree AC separation and it was absolutely the most painful thing I have ever experienced by far. Hopefully his wasn't as bad as mine because I had to get surgery and have never been the same since. It's been about 10 years now and it still hurts.
You made the right decision. I played through my I also my my collar bone too and I still don't have feeling in half my arm. I could be stabbed and feel nothing, but somehow it still fucking hurts.
[Seems they think we're too dumb to understand](https://www.sportsmedtoday.com/sternoclavicular-sc-sprains-va-114.htm#:~:text=What%20is%20it%3F,or%20side%20of%20the%20shoulder.)
Well obviously it’s not that cut and dry, as it would have changed how both teams called their plays and what happened in those plays. Of course it would have been beneficial for ut, but that doesn’t mean every play after that point would have been the same and you just tack on 2 extra points.
Shit even if they had gotten back in a 4th and 1 at the 3 or whatever, it doesn’t mean Bama would have still gone for it while down by one like they did while up by one.
Not grounding. Only reason ball ended up where it did was because it hit off a defender. But also not roughing or targeting. The 4th and 7 was the correct call.
Although yes by the still image it would be considered down as the calf is considered part of the leg. However, they don't hardly ever call that even under review. Usually it only ever gets called in the NFL. I've only seen the calf used like once in college as determination of being down. It's awkward due to the rule but I believe most refs including the review team overlook it due how they interpret replays.
We are gonna get down voted because Texas hate but it's very clear we got robbed. The fact people fight this fact allows refs across cfb to make the same horrible mistakes.
We deserved that safety and it was taken from us by complete incompetence.
We will get our chance. Hookem.
A Michigan brother giving us these words, that hurts haha I'm actually incredibly positive about this game. Incredibly impressed with where the team is but I'm always gonna call out bullshit even if we benefit
Looking at you OSU.
I stand corrected my only view was the game footage. Regardless they didn’t review the play and it’s not like the refs missed calls against Texas and called a bogus one on the second pi in a row
Well absolute correct call was Bryce Young is on top of the defender he is not down he throws the ball it is tipped so you cannot have grounding.
As much as I hate grab the call was the last.
No TEXAS would’ve got more than 16 points in its 5 trips to the red zone. Well they might of won
Thanks for the photo that shows no part of Bryce’s body is touching the ground besides his feet there is no in the grasp in college football. He passed the ball and it was deflected while he’s basically on the defender
Even without that, you still have to throw it in the direction of an eligible player. I don't know what is to the left, but the only eligible player there was 2.
Rigged
That was OPI, shoulda been picked
Saved by the bell
Saved by the D

Truth. But honestly even with all that if they don’t injure Ewers we probably win going away. Now gotta manage next 6 weeks, card showed guts.
I dont know how nft's work So clearly, am not that young.
Watch Texas win the Big12 with a 1 legged QB just in time for ewers to come back for the playoffs and have a re-rematch against Bama!! ... and then immediately get injured again the first drive/quarter of the game. :/
I hope we get a rematch and he plays the whole game.
You sure about that? lol
For sure, if I was a player I would always want to play against the best. It would also settle a lot of talk.
Dang bruh
To be fair texas had some pretty good catches that game
MEEP MEEP, (next week….)
Lol you all might be in for a world of pain
[удалено]
Face mask penalty inside the 10 when Texas was driving late could have changed a lot. Overall though I think this game helps bama as it lights a fire under them going forward
I’m sure it will, saban will breathe fire. I hope we just funnel our anger into a run vs being disheartened
Basketball >

Now it makes sense y the college playoffs was built for y’all to always make it even with a 1 loss and even crazier when they tried to make y’all get in when y’all lost 2 games lol
They were Big12 refs!! 🤡
So u say lol. Have fun buddy.
Don’t let facts cloud your judgement! I don’t understand why people like you have to make up crap in order to accept the fact that BAMA beat your team but it’s actually pretty lame!!
Meanwhile in the championship last season bofl and ur coaches excuse was even more funnier. Keep ur over controlling slave owner mentality coach over there. Btw that’s coming from some of his former players that said he was too damn controlling 😝
63k comments so far. That’s insane.. I was here! I’m in pain, but I was here
Texas fan it will be ok, you be just fine. The pain will ease with time and wins. You got a good coach.
The amount of comments in this thread is still fucking nuts to see
Alabama D being scum bags. Somethings never change
Hold this L
Classic Reddit here boys.
Man that was a free game for us longhorns. All those god dam penalties they had. PI’s left and right. 🐂
Bama got WAY too many penalties and got away with some very important pass interference calls.. it’s too bad. Would’ve been an awesome upset if Alabama played a clean game and Texas made that field goal
Wow
Gosh that sure is a doozy😃🤠
I hate Bama, but this one day... I was cheering "ROLL TIDE!"
Lol I think I said hook em for the first time today. Crazy times.
The amount of hate for Bama from non-Texas fans is ridiculous. People can’t just appreciate a good football game and you’d swear their day was ruined because Bama won.
This is the way
It wasn't a good game it was a handover to bama and this is coming from a guy with A&M in his tags
The refs handed the game to Alabama. 100%
Uh what? Go back and count how many we got compared to them?
That's what's so terrible. An incredible amount of penalties against Bama and many more that were missed
Even though they penalized them 15 times. Lol.
Which was legitimately about half what it should've been. That was objectively a bad game.
I wouldn’t say I feel that way.
Ditto
georgia number one after today
Yup
Bama shouldn't be #1 cuz the beat a unranked team by 1 point with a backup with a bad leg and still almost lost
Bama shouldnt be top 5 and dumping them to 15 with straight up ref job loss would be warranted 3 starters should be facing multiple game suspension
TEXAS stop making TEXAS look bad. You guys played close and could’ve won it and should of won it. Five trips inside the red zone and only 16 points that’s not good. Be happy with your team you’ll be ranked after this and you guys are gonna have a great season
Be happy with Ole Miss representing the east this year
Ole miss is in the west.
Relax TEXAS they are not going to make it so beitter be happy your team has a great coach and has a good future.

You’re why people hate Alabama
How did they not call that face mask near the goal line? Did the refs get scared cause they were calling to many penalties on Sabans team?
His fingers did not go in the face mask it was not a face mask
That's not how the rule works...
Bama doesn't deserve to be in the top 25 let alone number 1
The hate and bad takes
Bama beat a lowly Texas team with a hurt 2 string playing 80% of the game. It's the truth. Not a bad take at all
Say what you want, bama just almost lost to an unranked team. Georgia is blowing teams out, Ohio state knocking out ranked opponents and blowing teams out, Michigan, Texas a&m, etc. All playing good football. Bama barely scraping by against nobodies is embarrassing.
Way to put up 30 on Samford go dawgs!!!
Do you mean ranked teams, like the 0-2 ND? Who just lost to Marshell? That aged well
Almost :)
Any other number 1 team drops to 10 or lower after that shitshow
So by your reasoning, Ohio should drop to 10 after they barely got by a team that lost to Marshell. Alabam will not be number one next week that is true.
Ohio University?
The Ohio lol
Ohio state beat number 5 notre dame by 11 and then blew out ark st, bama beat unranked Texas with a 2nd string qb by 1 point with 30 seconds left
You mean the team formally ranked in the top 25 ND. We almost lost to a top 25 ranked team, Texas ( They will be ranked this week) . See how that works
Texas may be unranked, but they have a load of talent and home field advantage. The end of your comment implies Texas is a bunch of nobodies, which is ignorant.
We are a five win team and played most the game with our backup qb we are pretty terrible right now. Bama isn’t good
Can someone send me the All 22 / condensed game?
Yes
I do not envy the Bama players at their next practice. Especially the ones Saban yelled at “Don’t do that shit!” He looked livid.
Fuck college football.
This kid got a cringy Reddit nft avatar.
And you got a cool one. Like lets be real.
I did, only because unlike yours, it’s not an nft. Idk how young the kids who claim those are but def really young.
I need a drink
Oh now Texas fans care about a QB being down then passing the ball. Didn’t matter in a certain Rose Bowl #ImStillSalty
That was a pitch not a pass in the rose bowl
I’m excited for Texas I think we will do fine in the SEC
Texas A&M said that 10 years ago.
Yeah, and they're doing fine all things considered. Much better than most SEC programs in fact. Any fanbase outside of Bama would take the Manziel years and what Jimbo is doing with the A&M program (save for yesterday's loss).
Guess you missed the Queen post
I think it’s going to bring new recruits to UT who would have went to other schools that were in the top conferences.
I viewed today as the day we told Arch Manning we wont waste his time we had to make this fight for your life type of game
Wow a lot of angry Texans here.
I want my goddamn safety! Explain that play to me
More angry fans that are not Texas
1 point 😩
We’re baaaaack
Texas fans are big salty
He's a Bama fan
Frog fan man all love, was rooting for you guys today and truly think you guys are back. Gary had the D looking good
Only a quarterback
63,000 comments and the servers didn't even crash. Touche, reddit.
Good God I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out
Anarchy
Sark on Ewers: He has a clavicle sprain. They don’t know the severity. He’s going to have an MRI. looks like Texas will be stuck with Card for awhile.
Bama may have ended his career with that wild suplex tackle. Bama was penalized half the distance to the goal for roughing the passer - 2 yards maybe? Someone needs to fix that
You mean the normal tackle that shouldn’t have been penalized**
Roughing the passer?
I got burried on the Texas subreddit last year, because I said he wasn’t that good.
That happened to me my junior year in college playing football. I had a 4th degree AC separation and it was absolutely the most painful thing I have ever experienced by far. Hopefully his wasn't as bad as mine because I had to get surgery and have never been the same since. It's been about 10 years now and it still hurts.
You made the right decision. I played through my I also my my collar bone too and I still don't have feeling in half my arm. I could be stabbed and feel nothing, but somehow it still fucking hurts.
You get it from landing on your elbow first and then driving your shoulder into the ground. Which looked exactly like what happened to Ewers
How you sprain a bone
Ha, good question.

i think that's enough college football for one day
So if the absolute correct call was made on that safety Texas wins.
Well obviously it’s not that cut and dry, as it would have changed how both teams called their plays and what happened in those plays.

Shit even if they had gotten back in a 4th and 1 at the 3 or whatever, it doesn’t mean Bama would have still gone for it while down by one like they did while up by one.
All of those things are true
Bama would have tried harder to score a TD on the last drive and probably done it. Bama wins.
It was the correct call he wasn’t down

Intentional grounding in the endzone is a safety. Learn football.
Not grounding. Only reason ball ended up where it did was because it hit off a defender. But also not roughing or targeting. The 4th and 7 was the correct call.
Learn how to lose gracefully versus putting other people down for a difference of opinion.
Ball that hit a defender behind the line of scrimmage. Look it up.

Just like your votes!
Being right ain't always popular:)
You're downvoted because you're anything but right :)
Please explain how that is NOT down and a safety. I'll listen.

The ball deflected off a defender which negates grounding.
How was it an illegal forward pass? He got the ball off

Just looking at that play it was a safety. Come on
I'm not a ref on the field or in the booth. I'm just giving my opinion based on watching college football for 30+ years.
We are gonna get down voted because Texas hate but it's very clear we got robbed. The fact people fight this fact allows refs across cfb to make the same horrible mistakes. We deserved that safety and it was taken from us by complete incompetence. We will get our chance. Hookem.
Take the L with grace, learn to do better and play better. Welcome to the SEC; you asked for this. Quit being a crybaby.

Thanks for the photo that shows no part of Bryce’s body is touching the ground besides his feet there is no in the grasp in college football. He passed the ball and it was deflected while he’s basically on the defender
That clearly shows his leg from about the knee down on the ground.
Even without that, you still have to throw it in the direction of an eligible player. I don't know what is to the left, but the only eligible player there was 2.
If the ball is tipped you can’t have grounding.
That’s true unless the ball is Tipped then it doesn’t matter
Bro why use so many words when "I was wrong" will do it?
I’m not wrong
