Final Score: (1) Alabama 37, (2) Texas 21

Pasadena, CA (Sports Network) - Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram rushed for a pair of touchdowns and Alabama knocked out Texas star quarterback Colt McCoy early, as the top-ranked Crimson Tide beat the Longhorns, 37-21, to win their 13th national championship. Alabama gave the SEC its fourth consecutive national champion, as Florida sandwiched a pair of titles around one by LSU the past three years. Alabama (14-0) won its first national title since 1992 and did it by surviving a late rally from freshman signal-caller Garrett Gilbert. McCoy suffered a right shoulder injury early in the first quarter of the BCS title game and didn't return. Marcell Dareus' hard hit forced McCoy out of the game and the Alabama defensive lineman later returned an interception 28 yards for a touchdown with three seconds left in the first half. Ingram rushed for 116 yards on 22 carries, while Richardson gained 109 yards on 19 carries. Ingram was named the game's offensive MVP, while Dareus was tabbed with defensive honors. Greg McElroy connected on 6-of-11 passes for 58 yards for the Crimson Tide, while Gilbert ended 15-of-40 for 186 yards with a pair of TDs and four interceptions. Jordan Shipley had 10 catches for 122 yards with two scores for Texas (13-1).
