USC vs UT natty is replaying on Longhorn Network and forgot just how exciting this game was.

This is the first time I’m rewatching it since the live broadcast when I was a freshman in high school. I still remember watching this game at my dads house lol.

My gf (no pics) is sitting here and she genuinely is telling me USC wins this game. She is an Oklahoma alumna and I can’t wait to see her disappointment.

I also screamed at the tv when the Michael Griffin pick happened and they called it incomplete. Then i sat here wondering if they had replay back then

One of the GOAT College football nattys, would watch again. Vince Young was an incredible athlete.

USC pissed the game away



Then Dumbass keeps Bush on the sidelines for 4th down, the biggest down of the game

Probably the best National Championship game that I can recall.

USC had two collapses.

They were running away with the game in the 1st half then Bush lateral and Vince Young knee down (no replay) but called a TD on 3rd down.

USC regroups in the 2nd half, starts just running the ball all game and starts running away with it again in the 2nd half...

But Texas makes a comeback...but all USC has to do is get two yards to seal the deal - and Bush is on the sidelines...not even a decoy...your best player, not even a decoy.

USC runs a basic run play with Lendale White and Texas sells out with everyone in the box and stops it.

Then on Vince Young's final drive he is about to get intercepted on a big 2nd down play but the USC guy just bats the ball down instead of picking it off.

Everyone remembers Vince Young being Superman and winning the game but USC lost that game with their dumbassery.

It is wild how much this game is remembered, when it probably would just be another national championship game if USC had won even a close game.

I watched that 30 for 30 for like 10 minutes and when they mentioned the three-peat and the AP ship It turned it off lol.

LenDale is beasting in this game. Bush just scored the TD with the front flip though.

People forget that Lendale also fumbled the ball on the previous play, ended up losing another yard and a half. That was huge.

They had a cam on Bevo out at the ranch for a few hours last year. But, I think they were all secretive about the location lest some Aggy kill it.

Lendall had been dominating and Reggie did his fair share to throw that game away on his own.

Great NC. Won 10 bucks off my best buddy in the 8th grade.
