The Rose Bowl

[Ben E Lou]

I wasn't suggesting that it would drop him out of the 1st round or even the top 15. However, it could cost him his #2 slot, particularly if Vince continues to look great and/or Texas wins.Yup....and that would cost him a significant chunk of bonus money.

[BrianD]

So is USC still the best team in college football history? :)

[biological warrior]

At halftime the score is USC 10 TEXAS 16.

[GreenMonster]

Young 13/15 passing with 100+ yards, and 60 more rushing. The guy is just one heck of a college QB.

[Senator]

USC is the best second half team in the nation. We will need to come out with the same intensity.

[GreenMonster]

So is USC still the best team in college football history? :)

95' Nebraska may have had 30+ against this team before the half. Not even close to the best team ever. ESPN just wasted another 2 weeks of programming bits by Kirk and May.

[cartman]

Good half of football. Hats off to Texas for capitalizing on the SC mistakes. Now can they survive the 2nd half?

UT has already been written off a couple of times this game, so I'd say yes.

[Senator]

Marcus Allen?? Boo. Equal Time. We want Earl Campbell.

[Desnudo]

Oh, sorry. I missed the joke.

No worries, it wasn't a particularly good one. Although I do believe that a lot of USC "fans" will be heading for the exits in the 3rd quarter if Texas goes up by 2 TDs.

[cartman]

Marcus Allen?? Boo. Equal Time. We want Earl Campbell.

Well, we did get LeAnn Rimes singing the national anthem, plus the B-1Bs from Dyess. They get Marcus Allen. I say we are still ahead...

:D

[Celeval]

They commented on that at the beginning - where's Earl Campbell when you need him.

[moriarty]

Marcus Allen?? Boo. Equal Time. We want Earl Campbell.

I haven't seen Earl Campbell in ages. Be good to see how he's doing now.

[cartman]

I haven't seen Earl Campbell in ages. Be good to see how he's doing now.

Unfortunately, not well. He can barely walk anymore. :( He has to ride a golf cart to get around these days.

[vtbub]

From SGS:

Reggie Bush has been good, but not great. Lendale White has been okay. Matt Leinart was not having a good game before getting hit hard and you have to wonder how wobbly he is.

Vince Young has played well. Texas’ defense has played very well, sacking Leinart twice and intercepting him once. They have, however, lost two defensive starters to cramps. It is a humid night in the seventies, a bit warm for Los Angeles for January.

Certainly this game is not over by any stretch, but at times tonight USC seems to be USC’s opposition and not Texas. Texas needs thirty more minutes like they just played and they will have deserved the national championship.

I want a Texas win, so Vince Young can go pro, and the jets can take him at #4.

[Senator]

I love that guy. He was so fun to watch.

He also has some great hot links.

That was the best entry in that stupid contest?!!? I should have entered.

As Huckleberry said back in the Holiday Bowl, what's up with this poor, outgunned Big XII team shutting down this sophistimicated Pac-10 offense?

The athleticism of this game is incredible
i havent been this entertained by a football game in a long time, pro or college

[Rockstar]

I think that Texas is about to take a Horn sized dump on USCs "best team ever" title hopes. And the part about USC being the best second half team in the nation, they better pray that someone shows up with some steam.

[cthomer5000]

Texas made it look easy on that drive.

[KWhit]

Nice answer!

Vince Young. He good.

[ISiddiqui]

This game looks like it's opening up nicely.

It has already been said, but I agree. Young seems like a bigger, stronger version of Randall Cunningham, if some of you remember him.

[DaddyTorgo]

just talking with my sister, about Young vs. Leinert. And I can't for the life of me think that Leinert will get picked higher than Young, especially after seeing in this game how Young has the game-changing ability all by himself where Leinert needs weapons around him. Young is a more immediate positive impact on a franchise, resulting in more wins/excitement than a traditional pocket passer such as Leinert.

And I could see the Saints taking Young and jettisoning Brooks. Why the hell not. Brooks doesn't have a HUGE cap hit does he?

[kingfc22]

These offenses are rolling right now

[vtbub]

Hot damn, this is gettin good

I think Leinert is a much better passer than Young, and he's more mobile than people give him credit for.

[kingfc22]

Shouldn't that have been PI on USC? He hit the guy while the pass was in the air.

[kingfc22]

HUGE play!!!

[JeeberD]

fook

[ISiddiqui]

Good call on that 4th down play there...

[vtbub]

WOW!

White didn't even get touched. Great job by the SC O-line.

Dah! 21 and 5 just broke Blanchard and Davis' record for 97 combined tds.

Finally, a good defensive stand again.

Miss the FG!

[Eaglesfan27]

Nah. Root away, this is what makes it fun.
Whew, I posted my above rooting post before reading this ;)

I think Vince goes #1 only if a QB desperate team trades up there. I still think most teams take Reggie #1.

[Ksyrup]

The funny thing is, he's been doing this for quite awhile, but his performance against USC is going to make him an instant top pick, when the fact is, he's doing this against a crappy defense. I don't care if this is the national championship game. I'll give him extra credit for stepping up in a big game, but put him up against a real defense, and he wouldn't look like Michael Vick on roller skates nearly every play.

I'm not sure how their skills will transfer to the pros, but this just confirms that Brown is a better QB than Leinhart. Put Leinhart at FSU and he would likely be considered middle of the pack.

[kingfc22]

No good!

Agreed. USC would need a 3 TD lead for me to feel safe with this much time left. However, I love what they are doing on this drive. Let's punch it in!

They have Vince Young. Make them score twice, rather then let that College-Vick tie it up. After all, if you miss, it's still a full score.. you can be no worse then tied. (unless they do go for two)

[tucker rocky]

Hmm, Leinart and Bush, Heisman winners.

What is the history of past winners in the NFL?

YES!! Fumble! That was a fumble.. BS.

.

[SirFozzie]

and we have.. Controversey!

[Eaglesfan27]

BS! He made a move, he started to turn and got nailed losing the ball.

[Craptacular]

So if I catch the ball and stand still for 10 seconds, can it still be called an incomplete pass if I drop it?

[biological warrior]

Looked like a fumble to me.

[wade moore]

Are they reviewing it because there was no whistle? Because usually, in the NFL, I thought calls like that were unreviewable.
From what I've seen in this game and other NCAA games this year, the NCAA definately does not have the same rules about what plays are reviewable as the NFL..

[Ksyrup]

BS! He made a move, he started to turn and got nailed losing the ball.
Actually, I think what saved him is that he didn't move. He caught it, but seemed to be bracing for a hit, fumbled, and it looked like an incompletion.

[bob]

If that was a fumble, then so was the Ohio St one that Zibo returned for a TD for ND.

[kingfc22]

SC needs to develop a pass rush some time tonight

[Senator]

haters

[Celeval]

I dunno, probably a good call... the ball shifts positions in his hands enough that you could make the argument that it was bobbled - probably not indisputable evidence.

[BrianD]

So if I catch the ball and stand still for 10 seconds, can it still be called an incomplete pass if I drop it?

Sure...if the 10 seconds happen during an instant replay slo-mo.

[Galaxy]

So if I catch the ball and stand still for 10 seconds, can it still be called an incomplete pass if I drop it?

10 seconds in slow motion?

Dola-

Kasey Studdard went to my high school!

[ISiddiqui]

Good stop. If Lendale can help us eat some clock and we can get 1 more TD, I'll feel good about the outcome. Let's go offense!

[Craptacular]

Sure...if the 10 seconds happen during an instant replay slo-mo.
My argument is with the "football move" criteria (if that's what the refs were using). To me, it was clear he had clean possession of the ball with two feet on the ground. Fumble.

[cthomer5000]

UT clearly has their "finesse running" set to 100 tonight. It gets pretty goddamn annoying after a while.

[kingfc22]

Huge play and penalty there

[ISiddiqui]

Wow... with a roughing the passer attached to that play!

[SackAttack]

My Dad's complainin' about a few different calls...but calling that "incomplete" after a review is utter BS.

My initial call was incomplete (dad thought fumble), but on the replay, it looked pretty goddamn clear to me. If that play gets reviewed, it has to get overturned.

[Senator]

Undisciplined fool.

[ISiddiqui]

That was an incredible catch and then twist and dive for the score. Man...

[cthomer5000]

The game is absolutely not over, but Texas is going to have to find the defense they had in the first half if they have any chance. Going to have to stop USC in no more than 6 plays on their next drive.

Edit: Missing that FG earlier really hurt.

[Crapshoot]

What happened ? I thought Texas was going to "smash" em and what not ? :D

Seriously, looks like a good one. and Vince Young will have the Heisman if he stays, next year.

[kingfc22]

No, with Vince Young behind center, this game won't be over until the clock hits 0:00.

Note to UT players. Read the note on your helmets that say "DON'T LEAD WITH YOUR HEAD WHEN TACKLING"

I definitely don't think it is over yet. We didn't use enough clock.

Also, someone beat me to the Jarrett = Sophomore fact. There is a lot of talented youth on this team for next year.

[SackAttack]

I don't think there was enough to overturn either call. It looks like a fumble in slow motion, but could go either way at real speed.

Well the thing is from the initial angle, it didn't look like he had control.

From the replay, it looked like he caught and held it, and didn't lose it 'til #10 ripped it free.

[heybrad]

Thinking back on it, shouldn't Reggie Bushes first half "lateral" have been an illegal forward pass?
Either way, it was stupid.

[ISiddiqui]

[Logan]

Haha...Jarrett just shouted out Exit 9 on the NJ Turnpike.

[Buccaneer]

Go SC!

Lienart: 28/37, 300+ yds. That's pretty good. But I guess most people are rooting for Young and UT. Go figure.

[tarcone]

USC DBacks to fast to give up a long pass .....a 7 play drive takes too much time

[Craptacular]

Thinking back on it, shouldn't Reggie Bushes first half "lateral" have been an illegal forward pass?
I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't recording the game to be able to go back and look.

[ISiddiqui]

What was with that kickoff?

[cthomer5000]

No, it looked to me that he was pitching it backwards.
it looked to me that while he was trying to tass it backwards, his momentum ended making the ball travel 2-3 yards forward before hitting the other guy. If anyone has it TIVOd, id appreciate it if they could take a look when the game is over.

[Craptacular]

Either way, it was stupid.
That is an understatement.

[Crapshoot]

Almost 7 minutes remain. Jumping on the "it's over" bandwagon a tad early?

Not over as long as Vince Young is there- but there was a lot of "Texas smash mouth" bit floating around.

Sidenote: Why on earth would Vince Young stick around ? Is there anything he has left to prove in college football ?

[kingfc22]

Got to love when you talk shit and are down by 12 in the championship game.

[astrosfan64]

what is up with the clock?

[ISiddiqui]

Also, what is with the timekeeper. Is he drunk?

[Tasan]

As an Aggie, I'd have to say this is a good night so far, except for the whole 'state of TX losing to the state of CA' angle, which I don't really get. Saw 'em off, SC!

[kingfc22]

Vince is at it again.

[Craptacular]

I think Thomas is invisible until he catches the ball.

[st.cronin]

I definitely don't think it is over yet. We didn't use enough clock.

Also, someone beat me to the Jarrett = Sophomore fact. There is a lot of talented youth on this team for next year.

Yeah - I just found out today that their O-line only has one senior. White should definitely stay, and run for a million yards next year.

[wade moore]

I'm getting exactly what I wanted out of this game..

i don't have a dog in the fight, so I just wanted to see a competitive, fun game.... man am I getting it!

[Eaglesfan27]

Horrible throw by Vince. We should have had the pick.

[tarcone]

Fouts said young told him he was coming back

[cthomer5000]

Whoa. That was the first "what were you thinking?" pass I've since Vince throw tonight.

[heybrad]

Intercept that Ting. Don't just knock it down.

[bhlloy]

Crap this is going to be a long 5 minutes. Big stop here D

[ISiddiqui]

Yeah - I just found out today that their O-line only has one senior. White should definitely stay, and run for a million yards next year.White this year is a 1st round pick. If he stays, he's a Top 5 pick, easily (if no injuries).

[kingfc22]

2 down territory here

[tarcone]

Young doesnt want to play in new orleans either i would imagine

[Craptacular]

At least Thomas was COVERED that time.

[Tasan]

I think Vince might have a better shot at winning this game with his legs, and thats no knock on his arm either.

[Eaglesfan27]

As far as Reggie's pitch, I rewinded it twice when it happened, it was close, but I think it was backwards or parallel. However, it was very close.

[Crapshoot]

Young might have said he's staying before -however, after this game, I have a hard time not seeing him at in top 10, or top 5 at least. Who goes before him - Bush, Leinart, Ferguson - maybe Hawk - are there really 10 better players then him eligible for the draft ?

[astrosfan64]

Did USC just let him walk in?

White this year is a 1st round pick. If he stays, he's a Top 5 pick, easily (if no injuries).

And after tonight, he might've vaulted himself into the 10-15 range (provided the teams are there that need a RB), whereas I believe before he was in the last 10 in the 1st round.
