That was one hell of a football game. Am I disappointed, yes. West SIIIIIIDe booooy.
The inability of D to stop Texas in crunch time was the key. The fact was, both defenses were spent, and the team with the ball last had win.
There were a lot of factors that pointed to SC losing, and 8, I will totally disagree with you on the refs. There were at least 3 major calls that either did not get called or went Texas's way that should not have. The replay was used to Texas's advantage much more so than SC. But that is irrelevant.
Hats off to Vince Young. He would be an idiot to stay. He will never have another year like he did this year, and he should take the money and run. I have reservations about his abilities at the next level, the fact is the NFL is a completely different game.
I feel bad for the Trojans and the backlash they are experiencing to the tremendous over hyping of their talent by the media. Pete tried to downplay in all his interviews prior to the game, but they suffer from the image of a Hollywood team.
Reggie Bush is still the best player in college football. Last night Vince Young had the best individual performance I have ever seen.

I think he will have a career similar to Marshall Faulk.

I think if any of them have a shot it is Lendell. He could have a Jerome Bettis type longevity career.

I think White was part of an offense that had alot of options.I dont know about him being the #1 guy.

Matt Leinhart YES NO Should be a servicable NFL QB. It will depend on protection and weapons, just like any other QB
Lendell White YES NO Has the power and stamina to carry for 30 times a game. Will depend on his line
Reggie Bush YES NO He is a playmaker. If he stays healthy he will have a long and prosperous career. Could end up in the top 10 all time of all purpose yards.
Vince Young YES NO His act is not suited for the NFL, nor is his head. The option is not an option.
Please bold you choices
That is pretty ridiculous. There is absolutely now way of knowing. Shit you could put the top 10 running backs already in the NFL and I would only be able say maybe 2 of them.
Guesses? Okay.

Hershel Dennis will back for another year for the Trojans. He was supposed to be the #1 back last year, but off the field incidents got him in trouble. He will be stepping up.
I can see some struggles early for the trojans (quarterback mostly), but the fact is the defense will get nothing but better (they are still relatively young) and there are more coming. I can see a 1 loss season, but with the PAC 10 the way it is, they could be back in the game next year too.

This is the most complete article I could find that sums up my feelings and it does not even address the botched non interception call...

isn't a booty boy gonna be the QB next year.
LSU or USC are also gonna get a commitment from Keiland Williams on January 23rd. He is a soild runner from Northside high here in Lafayette.

Is no one going to mention the comedy of a game that is called by Keith Jackson? I mean, I like the guy and all, but he might be getting a little old.
In the second quarter, the camera panned to the side line and Coach Carrol was talking to Booty, Jackson says, "Well, looks like Coach Carrol is telling Booty to get ready". WTF? As if Carrol was going to pull a Heisman quarterback in the second quarter because his team was 4 points down. :lool:
What did he say about one guy during the game. "That boy was raised on leather and salt straps" ? something like that. I thought Dan Rather was calling the game.
Then at the end of the game, Texas goes for 2 points and he says, "19 seconds still on the clock. That has to be good for USC, they forgot to take any time off for the two point conversion." Hello? It was a two point conversion, Keith.
Wooooooooooah Nellie!
:loool:

Vick is overrated. Good player but not what he is hyped up to be. Young will be a better QB then Vick.
