Best moments and highlights from Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas Longhorns football

For the first time since the 2009 BCS National Championship, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns face off. For two of the bluest bloods in college football, they don't play often. This is their first meeting in the regular season since 1922.

When they played 12 years ago, the Tide won 37-21 and Nick Saban won his first national title at Alabama. The game turned in the second series when Longhorns QB Colt McCoy, a Heisman finalist, was injured and exited the game. Texas turned to a true freshman QB and made it a close game, but in the fourth quarter, the Tide pulled away.
