The Tide’s Heisman running back, Mark Ingram and Longhorn mobile QB Colt McCoy may be taking a rare back seat to a pair of defenses that are likely to determine the winner in the first-ever BCS Championship clash of 13-0 teams.

Mack Brown has 14 starters returning. The Longhorns are long on defense with 48 sacks to lead the nation last year, but they also lost end Brian Orakpo who won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the country’s top collegiate defender. Veteran Sergio Kindle and newcomer on the end position, Alex Okafor, could cause a lot of disruptions to opposing offenses this year. No doubt their game against rival Oklahoma will have national title implications.
