Coming close to winning a national title, but ultimately coming up just short, is the perfect way to sum up how the 2009-10 season ended for Colt McCoy and the Texas football program. McCoy might have won his first and only national title with Texas back during the 2009-10 season, if not for an injury early in the first quarter in that decisive game against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Texas Longhorns football program last had a legit shot at winning a national title back during the 2009 season, when McCoy was injured early on against the Crimson Tide.
