Synopsis: The Alabama Crimson Tide topped the Texas Longhorns 37-21 in the 2010 Citi BCS Championship Game to capture the school's eighth national championship and first since 1992. To accomplish this, the Tide followed the same formula that got them to the big stage a tough, physical defense to complement a strong rushing attack.
Alabama's offense controlled the ball on the ground consistently against the Longhorn defense that entered the game as one of the toughest in the nation against the run. Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram led the Tide with 116 yards and two touchdowns and Trent Richardson rushed for 109 yards and also added two scores.
