ESPN'S TAKE
Jim Donnan This game was good for college football. It was well-played and there was tremendous execution by both teams. In the end, Vince Young was the difference. There's no way you can describe how much pressure he puts on a defense. He was very effective in moving around in the pocket and finding the open guy. He made every play. -- Jim Donnan

Off The Hook
For Texas to beat USC, Vince Young had to be good. He was. Actually, he was beyond good. VY almost single-handedly danced the Horns past USC 41-38 to clinch a national title. In the process, he became a Texas legend, writes Ivan Maisel. Story
