Texas is far from out of it. They can easily march backdown quickly and tie it up.

And Bush finally makes up for the fumble. Wow can't believe he stayed in bounds. Definently a touchdown.

Biggest difference for USC this half is they've gotten Dwayne Jarrett into the game.

White should just comeback next year and try to win his own Heisman.

I'm a big believer that you never go for two until the 4th quarter especially if you are trying to make up for a missed extra point. The way Young is just easily moving through the USC defense they'll definently put in the endzone at least a couple of more times.

They flat out can't stop Vince Young.

First big play to a wideout all night.

And it would blow for everyone on the west coast with a 2 pm start in the middle of the week. Of course they could just keep all these games on January 1st and wouldn't have to worry about that. I hate the way they spread the games out now.

USC is going to need a near perfect second half. Texas played like shit for the first 20 minutes and yet they are up 16-10.

That would have been called incomplete 99% of the time. The Texas player didn't even dispute it.

This could be the ballgame on this next possession. Bush is definently the goat if USC loses as that was by far the turning point at this point. Everything was going USC's way before that play. Hell it could rank up there with Chris Webber's "timeout."

Big possession for USC's defense. A Texas touchdown could be demoralizing especially after all the blown opportunities by the offense.

Leinart looks really bad out there.

What a joke. USC HAS to score now.

Now 1 for 4 tonight in scoring opportunities. You can point to these first half failures if Texas wins.

Texas has just shut down the USC wideouts so far. Uh oh that's a pick, Texas ball although is it at the 1 or touchback?

Trivia Question Answer: Charles White and Ron Dayne.

No it didn't. His arm was under it the whole time.

This is one sloppy title game so far.

That's two blown chances to score for USC tonight. Very dangerous for them to do.

WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING??????????????????????????

And Pete Carroll decides to match Mack Brown for being stupid. Seriously no reason not to kick the field goal and get an early two score lead. They just handed Texas some momentum after everything was going there way.

Or have a murderous hatred for them. I'd like to beat Mickey Hatcher to death just for his Game 1 homerun where he ran around the bases like an idiot.

Poor kid. Time to drop out and transfer to Division I-AA because if they lose this he'll never hear the end of it.
