You're right Xia. it would've been ugly for Texas if crazy shit like that Bush play hadn't happen. :D

2 years in a row Young rallied Texas back and won the rose bowl. Last year against Michigan and now USC and the championship.

2005 Rose Bowl
16 for 28 180yds and 1 td & 1 int
21 rushes 192 yds and 4 td
Texas 38 Mich 37

2006 Rose Bowl (National Championship Game)
30 for 40 268yds 0 td & 0 int
20 rushes for 199yds and 3 tds
Texas 41 USC 38

It might have been a blowout if Bush hadn't lateralled the ball in the first half. Combining a 14-point lead and even just some part of the offense efficiency USC had shown in the third quarter, they would have won something like 50-34. But I'm happy for Texas and happy that the greatest individual performance I've ever seen by a football player didn't end up as a footnote.


a good game and yes, very true and it was crazy that the superstar may have lost them the game with that play.

wonder if the above will play into whether Bush declares for the NFL draft.

:D LUVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT! :D

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;_ylt ... &type=lgns

A real scream
By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports
PASADENA, Calif. – Men screamed. Grown men, mind you. Old men, young men, it didn't matter. They all did it.

Men screamed in horror. Not joy, not shock, not excitement. They screamed in pure, unadulterated horror like they were watching a car wreck in progress, like a loved one was drowning, like the most gut-wrenching thing in the world was about to happen and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it, because there wasn't. Not they, not the Southern California defense.

So they, all those win-fed, overconfident sorts in maroon and gold shirts that came to the Rose Bowl for a romp and found their Trojans on the ropes, screamed because Vince Young had the ball, and even they knew that soon enough his Texas Longhorns would have the national championship.

A single individual can't dominate a football game any more than the great Vince Young, the incredible, impossible Texas quarterback for the ages, did Wednesday to lead the Longhorns to a wild, come-from-behind 41-38 victory for the national championship.

You just can't.
------------------------------
Young ran. Young passed. Young demoralized. Young destroyed. Young managed to score 14 points himself in the final, furious four minutes of the game.

Young made grown men scream every time he took a snap and started darting and dashing about until he decided either to flick an easy pass to a wide open receiver or humiliate some Trojan linebackers by scrambling downfield.

Southern California could have put everyone in the team photo out on defense, and Young would have found a way to run right around them. He made stars look like tackling dummies. He made NFL draft picks pick grass from their mouth.

He took nearly every snap from the shotgun and shot the 'Horns to the promised land, setting off a night of partying back home that may seriously threaten the tequila supply in Texas. Ever a bit hokey, Brown spent the postgame talking about how he didn't want this game to be the best thing his players ever do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He completed 30 of 40 passes for 267 yards and rushed 19 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns, including the game winner on fourth down with 19 seconds remaining, the play that brought out the most screams of all.

"The defensive end went inside a little bit [and] gave me an edge and I had it," shrugged Young about the play of the game, a cool scamper amid all that on-field chaos and in-the-stands screaming.

"I just took it down," he said simply.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Young shredded that regular zone so badly that by the fourth quarter USC tried to blitz every snap, but even then they knew there was no containing this guy.

"[He] ran all over the place," Trojans coach Pete Carroll said. "It [was] extremely frustrating. We'd look like we were going to sack him and not sack him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"We told [the defense] that if you stop this fourth down, we're going to win the national championship," Brown said.

The 'Horns did. That Texas was still 56 yards from pay dirt seemed a formality.

"It's 'what you going to do?'" Young said of his thoughts before the big drive.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So there was nothing to do but scream. In horror over the pending doom in the SC side of the stands.

And then in joy, deep into the night, on the Texas side.

During the post game celebration he annouced it to the world that he & texas will be back next year for another championship title. :D

I can understand if he changes his mind and go to the nfl. lol after a huge game like that i'd go too. Instant fame and $$$ for him.
