Texas had beaten Oklahoma and Bradford the year before why wouldn't they be able to beat them again
Because that was the year before and had nothing to do with the 2009 game. The fact is Texas only beat Oklahoma by 3 points despite Sam Bradford barely playing. I think having the reigning Heisman winner and future no.1 pick could've made at least a 3+ point difference. Almost the same logic you're using.

Bama couldn't move the ball early and didn't move the ball until their defense took over
Maybe in part because McElroy was hurt enough where he couldn't throw the ball more than a few times? Having somewhat of a passing game (even 100 yards more) could've helped Bama. Julio Jones and Marquis Maze (2 of the biggest play makers on the team) would've been actually involved in the offense then.
Point is playing this whole "if" game is stupid because no one knows for sure what might happen.

I am going by what I witnessed in the game itself
Bama was overmatched early.
McCoy was moving the ball all over the field in his few early plays and Bama went 3 and out moving backwards then turned the ball over
It would have been then 14-0 Texas. That would have taken the running game out of the game even more. Bama could not throw because Texas had Earl Thomas out there. The same player that turned Seattle's D so dominating.
