    ⁠ usc was riding a 34 game win streak from 2003 to 2006 they were #1 for 3 straight years and had back to back hesiman trophy winners on the same offense, including being the 2X defending national champion. USC was the only school in the bus era to almost win 3 straight national championships. USC was beating Texas in the 4th quarter 38-26 with 5 minutes to go players and staff were already celebrating on the sidelines and calling usc 3pete university. USC was being very cocky against Texas in the first half with the fumble etc. If usc had 1 minute left to play things would’ve been different Texas couldn’t stop usc offense in the 2nd half.. I blame Pete on the loss just like they they did when he lost against the patriots. He made some horrendous play calls.

      @shawnschaitel838 3 роки тому

      ​@@dustin8320 the reason they are scams is because there always bias to the big schools especially the polls and the reason the heisman is a scam is that while they say it about crowning the best player in CFB and while non power schools FBS have a chance at winning it no one outside a power 5 + nd and in the future power 4 + Notre dame FBS team will win it ever
      thats while this game while it sounds great on paper is among the biggest scam games in the history of college sports
      most people won't talk about the fact the current CFB PO system was design by the power confrence to prevent a TCU or BSU situation where both teams are ranked so high that if it was for a few polls and pollsters they would have been in the NC game the years TCU beat wisconsin in the rose and the year the BCS people intentional manipulated the polls to make 3rd ranked BSU play 6 ranked TCU in the fiesta to prevent possible BCS busters
      if this expansion goes through ots going to be so heavily weighed to the power schools that pretty much all the schools not in those conference would be almost better off dropping down to FCS
      and people want to talk about the fact the NCAA could fix this they can't in fact this tv money deal scotus and the recent scotus deal of amateurism largely destroy most any regulatory powers they have in fact the NCAA is so powerless now that 4 of the power 5 schools the PAC 12 joined in support later because they had no choice threatened to leave the NCAA altogether and create there own AA last year if they didn't allow fall sports during covid last year which if happened would have destroyed most of the value of the NCAA basketball tournament both men's and women's
      the simple fact is college football is rigged and this game is among the biggest rigged games in history

    This was the greatest football game that has ever been played and I don’t think anything may ever top it. USC was on a 34 game win streak going for 3 straight national titles which is impossible and unheard of in football. Two Heisman trophy winners and possibly the most dominate college football team that has ever been put together.
    Texas was also undefeated that year and dominated every game they played. There only close game was Ohio state who also had a championship roster that year and would be in the championship the very next year. Vince Young at the time was not only considered the best player that year but many were saying he was possibly the greatest college football player of all time. The fact he didn’t win the Heisman that year really showed how great of an all time run USC was on. The 05 Texas team is like the 95-96 Chicago bulls with Jordan. They had the best player of all time and they were just better than everyone else and it wasn’t close.
    Never before and never again will we see two teams that great and that dominate head to head. You had the greatest team of all time vs the greatest player who ever played. The hype, the announcers, the crowd, no social media, and it was in the Rose bowl the pinnacle of college football. The game not only lived up to the hype it exceeded it. 4th and 5 the game on the line you can’t write a more story book ending. Once in a lifetime.

    In my opinion, this is still the greatest college football game I've ever seen (it had it all - talent all over the field, lead changes, a late comeback, amazing plays, etc.). A close second would be the 2017-18 Rose Bowl when Georgia beat Oklahoma in 2OT. And not that it matters, but I legit think this past season's divisional playoff game between the Bills and Chiefs was possibly the best NFL game ever (42-36 OT win for the Chiefs). An improbable comeback and HUGE plays made on both sides all game long!!

White was still tearing them apart. i grew up a Horns fan but USC was equally loaded and the White/Bush tandem legit scared me. the momentum swings and eventual comeback of this game were nerve wracking, even as a kid I knew it was special. they had Ferrell and McConaughey filming game intros for christ’s sake, insane hype. ending on a play like that and the storybook shot of Vince with all the confetti is just too good.

Some of the sport’s most iconic games have occurred since 2013 like the Kick 6 and Michigan/Mich St 2015 let alone three programs breaking their 35+ year national championship droughts in Auburn, Clemson, and UGA since 2010. Then factor in some of the best heisman campaigns in history in the last decade.
      Hate to break it to you but this is a sport of peaks and valley’s among its best programs. Always has been. Blue bloods/national powers and their millions of fans are why this sport is popular. Every decade, a few blue bloods stay at the top. Think Miami’s dynasty and Penn State’s dominance in the 1980s, think Florida State and Nebraska’s dominance in the 1990s, think USC, Ohio State, and Oklahoma’s dominance in the 2000s. Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State’s run in the 2010s is no different. Football literally is blue bloods and upsets. It’s the entire concept of the rankings.
      Either way, this sport is popular because of the rivalry games, upsets, ranked matchups, heisman races, rose bowl, tradition etc. A few teams at the top every year has never diminished any of what encompasses the lifeline of the sport as a whole.

      But on draft day they went with someone else and Vince went to the Titans, who had Jeff Fisher and their new OC was from USC. So he went to a team he didnt expect or like, and was coached by a man who was salty af about the championship game
