Good thing they voted on the Heisman before this game. I think tonight would have changed some votes.

As much as I despise the Rollturders, I have to say they put one hell of a defense on the field this year. Big at the tackles and fast off the ends. Their LBs fly to the ball and knock the snot out of you. DBs are a little undersized, but they are physical in coverage and play the run real well. Too bad (not really) their offense couldn't score in a Texas whorehouse.

The "ZEBRA' team won it for Texas.

Can't have a 3 time winner, bad for the rateings.

Texas had ONE great player....the rest were okay at best. The crapy officating will keep the NCAA in the news for weeks=$$$$$$.

Pity for the USC team, the fix was in long before kick-off.

I think his straight-up running style worked fine in college but was a terrible match for the NFL game.

Eric Dickerson did just fine in the NFL with a straight up running style.

>>>I'm never impressed with running backs<<<

Then you obviously have not seen Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, O.J. Simpson, or Eric Dickerson play. They were all game-breakers.

I think PSU would have been able to hang, just like I think Ohio State could have hung with either of these teams. Hell Ohio State DID hang with 2 out of the 3....

PSU did not play their best ball last night. tOSU did play their best game of the year on Monday. What a great game that was. Not as good as this one, but great.

Go Bucks.

I don't blame him. I'm a fan of Leinart's. It's hard to be a gracious loser, and it's often forced and fake. Matt's reaction was real. So credit him for honesty. He had a great second half, and Texas stopped his offense just in time. I don't blame him for his reaction at all.

Be that as it may, I'm sure he'd rather be quoted saying something else. This game will be remembered for a long time.

Quote me!

You have to make a football move after establishing control to make it a completion.

Stop quoting me...I have been falsely quoted!!! I know you have to make a football move. I never said it was complete and fumbled...I KNOW it was imcomplete...

If somehow you see me on this thread saying I said it was complete...then it was cross-posted...because I know it wasn't. Besides...I'm an Aggie...and I've been rooting for the horns since the day after Thanskgiving (well...the day after the day after Thanksgiving).

would you like some cheese for that whine?

Whining about the officials is about the only thing USC fans could POSSIBLY do to go SCREAMING past ND fans as the most obnoxious.

Keep going.

C'mon. The main knock on Leinart is arm strength was throwing lasers in the second half. My brother has seen him from the sidelines a couple times and he's very good--and big.

But Vince was in a Jordan-esqe zone tonight.

I don't know.

I think their defense played their best game against Texas.

The game Monday night was their most COMPLETE game......

The AP trophy used to mean something before the inception of the BCS - after that, it became a COMPONENT of the BCS.

Now they're just liberal paperweights.

Amazing the difference in the quality of the level of football after you go past the #1 and #2 teams.

I agree. I do think that only Ohio State and maybe LSU could have given them any sort of game.

I don't know what that means, Palmetto. Is that a Southern term? I am stuck up in the cold country of Pennsylvania.
