OT: Lot's of folks watched Reggie Bush all year on TV... and being on the #1 team and on the West Coast he got a lot more publicity... and all the hype by the talking head press naming him the #1 pick in the draft already. I think Bush is a great football player don't get me wrong, but tonight other than one or two plays, Texas showed what a defense with NFL class speed and size can do to corral a runner like him. In the pros, everybody is fast and big... Bush will be a good player, but I think LenDale White might end up being a better pro running back, imo. He certainly was more effective tonight.

As for Vince Young, I don't think alot of folks got to watch Vince Young much to see what he can do. He has been doing this all year, for two years really. In the opening game he did it against Ohio State in Columbus... first time they had been beat by a non conference team for like 15 years. Led the nation in passing efficiency and he runs like a horse.

Another factor to think about... Bush is the Heisman winner but USC would still be a great team without him, would probably still be in this Championship game. Where sould Texas be without Young. Vince Young may not be the Heisman winner, but he is certainly the Most Valuable Player in light of what he does for his team.

But what a Great Game Huh?

Later and Best, bulldzr

OT: Because Texas couldnt stop White inside all night long and Vince Young was going to score with a 50 yard field or an eighty yard field in front of him. He is a larger version of Mick Vick.....was unbelievable.

However I agree.....you punt the ball and make him go 80...Pete Carroll maybe a great coach, but that showed a little arrogance there and it came back to bite him. Im glad to see the Longhorns win...I really like that program....been watching them play as well as ND since Im a kid.

Any SC fan that crys about the Vince Young knee touching the ground before his lateral.....can go cry on Charlie Weiss' shoulder after the Bush push that beat ND with no time remaining...thats a bigtime no no in college to assist the runner..........thats sports and thats the referee factor, all part of the game.
