00:03 - The Longhorns knock off Alabama marks

00:05 at 0-34-24 in Bryant-Denny on Saturday.

00:09 Texas winning outright as a seven point road underdog,

00:13 handing Nick Saban his first double digit home loss

00:17 in his 17 years as the head coach of the Crimson Tide,

00:22 snapping a 57 game win streak for Alabama

00:26 in non-conference regular season games.

00:29 Zeno, these two teams played each other last year in Austin.

00:33 Texas took Alabama to the brink,

00:35 but Alabama escaped courtesy of Bryce Young,

00:38 winning by just a single point.

00:40 What did Texas do this time around

00:43 to beat Alabama in their own home stadium?

00:45 - Well, look, credit to the Longhorns and C.Sarkeesian.

00:49 They put together a great game plan.

00:51 They executed it well.

00:53 They were able to score on a defense.

00:55 And I'm surprised at how bad

00:57 the Alabama secondary really was.

00:59 I mean, we heard all about Kool-Aid, McKinstry.

01:01 It's a great name, but he played like Tang, not Kool-Aid.

01:04 I don't know, what was the drink of the receiver?

01:07 But regardless, he didn't play well.

01:09 And the secondary kind of got torched.

01:12 On the offensive side of the ball for Bama guys,

01:14 I know you talked about making Jaylin Milroy better,

01:16 but here's the other part of this.

01:18 Like Alabama, as much as it has a quarterback problem,

01:21 it has a wide receiver problem.

01:23 Calvin Ridley, Jamison Williams, Jaylin Waddell,

01:25 none of those guys are on this roster anymore.

01:28 And because they're not,

01:30 now you're dependent on your quarterback

01:32 to make them better.

01:33 And that's just not happening at this point in time.

01:35 I mean, if they had better receivers,

01:37 guys who were uncoverable like Alabama's had

01:39 for the better part of the last decade,

01:41 I think the offense looks a little bit different.

01:43 But because they don't,

01:45 it's all on Jaylin Milroy's shoulders.

01:47 And that makes things a little bit difficult

01:49 for this Alabama offense.

01:50 So yeah, I give a ton of credit to Texas.

01:53 I'm not gonna say they're back.

01:55 Go on the road in the Big 12 and win games there

01:58 and let me know how that works out.

02:00 I mean, when they get to 10 or 11 wins,

02:04 then I'll say that because what have we seen

02:05 so many years in a row from Texas?

02:07 They look good, they look good,

02:08 and flop and then double flop.

02:10 And next thing you know,

02:11 they're playing not even in a New Year's Six Bowl

02:14 in some sort of other bowl

02:15 that isn't really all that important.

02:17 (upbeat music)

02:20 (bells chiming)
