I wil preface my following comments with this: Texas played better tonight and earned the win and my congrats to Longhorn nation. That said.....
There were so many mistakes by SC in that one....
1: Reggie Bush's ill-advised lateral attempt
2: Leinarts pick down near the goal line
3: Officals blowing the call when V. Youngs knee was clearly down and giving them the TD
4: SC's total inability to do anything about V. Young who went buck-wild on them- he had like 30 of 40 passing and 200yds rushing w/ no sacks or picks. And I though Reggie Bush was the human video game! If V Young comes back for another year of college he is an idiot- his stock will never be higher than the performance he gave today.
I expected USC to win this game, and they should have but stupid uncharacteristic mistakes and 2 blown 4th and short attempts (especially the last one) cost them a third national championship. I think if this game was played 10 times USC would win 7, but they play it once and USC got beat. Props to Texas- this was the first time I had seen them play this year, and they are pretty unimpressive, except for that freak at quarterback- he carried that team, and the defense came up huge on a couple of plays for the win.
