on pro player Stadium battle of unbeatens moments which gladiator can come out on top their chariots arrived earlier his counterpart on the other side the quarterback of us see the the most prestigious individual college football just weeks ago now in front of a sellout crowd in the seventy-first FedEx Orange Bowl available on ABC and high-definition it's a battle of unbeatens at pro

Oklahoma as you take a look at the BCS standings presented by Allstate as they have been for us all year long there's USC on top Oklahoma number two Auburn has finished their season with a Sugar Bowl win last night at 13 and OH but they can only look on welcome to pro player stadium everybody hi Brad Nessler it's the BCS National Championship game a year ago the Trojans felt they should have been in this game they could only share the national title Oklahoma was in the national championship game a year ago they lost they feel like they've got unfinished business and what both coaches have said throughout the past month preparing for this game it has the makings of being something very special something else we have special tonight first time ever two Heisman Trophy winners meet on the same team it's never happened before Jason white of Oklahoma won it last year Matt Leinart of course just one of weeks ago that's Reggie Bush we talked about him how dangerous he is as a kick returner a punt returner a receiver and out of the backfield he waits on Garrett Hartley's kick so amid all the flashbulbs all the talk about number one and number two back in August and out here it so five and we're about three and a half hours finding out who's going to be the BCS national champion from the Orange Bowl underway trying to keep it out of Bush's hands and in doing so kick it out of bounds so great field position for USC to start things so they'll start from their own 35 the Trojans send five wide receivers out with an empty backfield on the first play of the game Pete Carroll might go long who knows quick slant reggie boys first down at midfield goes inside the 14 out of the 38 yard line the first play of the game first down USC after one play there at the 38 of the Trojans now it's Reggie Bush on the handoff and USC going to lose yardage there the Sooners are waiting for led by Dan Cody here's the third alone now they are attacking they are impressive they turn into something that they don't they don't play on first and second down at the 42 of the sitter's here comes some pressure the throw is incomplete and chanted on a slant across the middle for Jason Mitchell and it's broken up by the Sooners so the big player Reggie Bush accounts for nothing and the Trojans will have to give it up they'll all see a lot of time for Chuck long the offensive coordinator has done a great job MOU second down and 10 no gain in the first play here's white on play-action throwing and completing it at across the 25 in the 26 of course down to will people's because he too is a freshman first down Oklahoma here's the pitch on the counter Peterson gotta block the cuffs authority hits his head down in court Jason leach knocked him off his pins but the best run so far by the 19 year old freshman second down in just a yard after Peterson got nine he'll get the handle again puts his head down should have the first end as he appeals to the cross no first down line there he wants in on the shotgun again Jason white plenty of time now he pulls it down throws on the run Travis Wilson stood on his feet he's down in USC territory at the 42 yard line Peterson and messy boys have excelled against the best competition but he's on the sideline now because ki-hwan Jones comes heeling passing downs this is a third and eight tenth play of the psuedo Roy white with crushing us down steps up throws come on it's Bradley tip toeing and loss all in the engine out of bounds I'm not yes they're marking it out of bounds but most of the time when they're going to pass the ball ki-hwan Jones is in the ballgame Wilson and Clayton to the near side Jones wide to the left and that's Clayton in motion on second goal here comes a blitz play-action right to the end zone Travis Wilson from five yards from Jason White well they may have changed the play call too sometimes they'll have been there to fool the defense and sometimes they'll change their mind in the play they were play action for running down the middle on push down and two - Jarrett the freshman and it's across the 35 to the 36 a pickup of 11th third down and long again we told you what Oklahoma's defense has done on third down and long this year here comes a pressure Matt Leinart rolls pressure from behind oh man and he throws a shot out near midfield and he got it to Steve Smith great throw up third and 11 liner to Smith for 14 right near midfield now play action liner inside the 35 to the 33 of the time in birds first down passing Dominic bird is there really a real good receiving tight end so now the Trojans have something working down to the 33 in the sinners first down Reggie Bush comes out as a receiver leaving David Portman in the back view leinart Rose throws deep vein just a great catch Dominic bird flies high and pulls it in 33 yards burn has 1 for 17 1 for 33 and were a point away from a tacky and that penalty cost oklahoma 23 yards that's like hitting yards for more than one matter so they work from their own 15 quick to completes across the 21 where he got hammered is Brandon Jones Adrian Peterson starting off slowly so far only 16 yards on the ground ki-hwan Jones in there right now because Jason wedge from the shotgun right gets protection so I was almost intercepted and Matt grew to good at his hands on it then nursing a - since the UCLA game he gets the call slashing off the right side Daunte Nicholson made the tackle but lyndale almost ran him over a pickup of 10 that's his boots over here when it come line it rolls away from it as time and Troy's complete going to be short going to be short of the first down I thinking about the 48 yard line I got his Steve Smith yeah we got some troops in here tonight but for all I'm watching all over the world and I thank you for keeping it free for us and everybody America loves you guys okay we'll watch a little more for boomer sooner off the side of his foot but it takes a great bounce I'm maths inside the fire loose ball Bradlee trying to pick it up handily markers are down as well we'll sort it all out here so hold on SC thinks they have possession and now USC with a golden opportunity to take the lead for the first time tonight first and goal Trojans at the oklahoma six yard line tastes in touchdown USA you couldn't have a fumble more costly and the Trojans capitalized in just one play Pete Carroll's Trojan 75 yards later tied it and now that bumble turned into a six yard touchdown and the Trojans lead foot team to settle and there is just no room to run so far for Adrian Peterson two yards on the carry got out to the 30 as the first quarter I think we got a flag on the field up Jamal Brown was blocking like he normally does driving his man to the ground one of the FC players didn't like it Campbell ro personal foul number 92 on the defense 50 yards from the end or on automatic first and Manny right good call slowly and outs Oklahoma with a first down at some 45 yard line they fake it to Peterson Travis Wilson on the end of he got collared right about at midfield welcome to too cool with the tackle again let's check in with Todd Harris all right thank you very much bread the man staying next to me a lot of people know him Will Ferrell consent live and the movies little little Lomax he used to work for the USC sports information department but he's got a better story about this guy back here that was on seront live with him far away oh yeah I did a sketch with Shaq back here where he picked me up in his arms and cradled me and sang a song no one's gonna hurt my little man so that's what we did yeah Trojans big fan of mops your alumni of USC s are you impressed how well they're playing tonight here in the first quarter now into second they're doing great and open they can start running the ball a little bit more and we'll see what happens then the NFL playoffs kickoff wild car with double-header Rams in Seattle Jason Lee Cho the interception I don't understand what Jason White was thinking there quarterbacks have done coming into the game is not turning the ball over it's making stupid plays that was one of them 30 the senior defensive captain mr. intensity hands up at right defensive end here on second down and 10 big opening for one he's got a first down and more across the 25 to the 26 a 15 yard run that time here's third down and 8 USC 43% of the third down conversion here and they've averaged alone yardage almost third and 12 throughout this early going of this game empty backfield liner wants to go the other way throws caught by Gerry what a catch about a six bottom Preston excellent excellent growth for wide receiver third they got 18 now it's ladder wyndi left sideline man down went to him twice in a row the second time a 54-yard touchdown they could use one out of him tonight that's for sure it's still third down and long third and 14 right pressure throws intercepted picked off by Eric right Darren quick throw touchdown the Steve Smith the Heisman Trophy winners third touchdown pass of the night this to Steve Smith who was what's his favorite target and a former Heisman trophy-winning it has been runner-up I should say to Bo Jackson back in his we're short to Peterson I must look like an incidental face man's the flag does fly in and I thought Manuel right may have gotten a handle Adrian Peterson's facemask shocky surprising the Trojan defense surprise they're a great team and show a lot of fight out there they're showing all the garments when you school is welcome up out of the shotgun steps up has time across the middle on the one as Bradley he's got a first down a more but Bradley keeps his footing still on his feet these other bones but going out to the 36 yard line down to the 36 first down Oklahoma play action to Peterson White's in trouble and Danny goes I'm in fear Shawn Cody now it's second down to the mine second and 24 Travis Wilson in motion here's a quick throw on a widescreen optimal plate and looking for his blockers and he got it back to haunt the 41 yard line Justin Wyatt knocked him out of bounds probably a dream Peterson's not in EM pass brach burden 15 weights scrambles upon some of the open Jones down inside the 20 we're down in four big big play for the suitors here the throw is low again at a great hit put on by Justin Wyatt Garrett Hartley is a true freshman who has never attempted a collegiate field goal this will be a 29 yard attempt from the right hash the kick come away look like a freshman there he knocked that thing through second down and ten toss to Bush the blockers in front he's three Reggie Bush supporting the sidelines of the 40 yard till he gets to the 35 because Norm Chow has done outstanding things calling the right plays at the right times not asking these players to do anything if they can't do second short nine liner has two lofts it to Smith he caught it touchdown what a catch fourth touchdown pass for man Laden in the first half white lofts it out to Peterson Peterson trying to carry Trojans to the first day of marker Boyd took a wicked hint on for them including loafer to to Pooh the top-ranked jochen's of USC 35 number to Oklahoma only ten Brad Nessler Bob Griese Lynch wants out Harris with you and now ball down Trojans habit we're going to come from the corner the other fake in Shenzhen Brandon Shelby backs out of and it's another first down for the Trojans second down in the Reggie Bush in the back booth but it's monitored under pressure this time to get to him this damn cool Kaleem from 34 yards away kick on the way it's good what a half of football offensively for the top-ranked team in the country well you just can't turn the ball over I mean you cannot be a good football team so they the final play if somebody touches the ball and they he goes down right now it's total domination by the top-ranked team in the country and the Trojans of USC they'll go to the locker room and I'm sure they never anticipated this in the million years that they go to the locker room with a four touchdown leave he's only been hurried a couple of times by Dan Cody both times hit after he threw near his own endzone once and sack once other than that Matt Leinart has looked like a Heisman Trophy winner he's looked all the part of the all-american that he is and he's got his team a thirty eight to ten lead here we go second half 70 first FedEx Orange Bowl ATT championship trophy on the line two more corners to go touch back Oklahoma work from the 20s we check in with Todd Harris well guys okay when I'm talking Coach Stoops he said we're not going to ban the we're going to stay with it drive in the first position in first half we want to come back and do that again the senior on a tunnel Oklahoma and the shotgun on Thornton Center laughs backs crushed out of the pocket goes cross peel and broken up intended for Bradley Justin life they work from their own 15 if you USC and you're mad liner you don't necessarily need to score the second half just don't turn it over the opposition Kirkman the full-back rumbles out of a pickup of 15 Jim McMahon and Steve Young and Robbie Bosco the Heisman Trophy winner in taught that move in Carson Palmer here at USC after Philip Rivers at NC State he's worked with good ones here's LenDale White into the second area the big fellas got another first down over 10 USC in the 7th USC is passed on all of its third downs Reggie Bush shuffles in the backfield liner Steve Smith touchdown another Orange Bowl record five touchdown passes Jason white is alpha 3 since God through the second half this time he stands and awaits and now he's going to run with it so that he couldn't do it he slides across the 30 to the 30 to a 13 yard scamper and a first down first it was the lefty and nobody touched him this was a scramble that's a sack but that wasn't the one that hurt his this is last year in the Sugar Bowl when he had a terrible time Adrian Peterson when they hand that ball to Adrian Peterson he could go the distance at any time but this defense is three strong Peterson been bought push down truck run the freshman's third down nineteen the playbook for 3019 will see hi Jason what does in the shotgun three wide receivers to his left than one goes right and here comes USC with a heat Oh get him there they goes there's what they're playing for they want to take that baby back to Southern California Reggie Bush Reggie Bush Reggie Bush goodbye nose tackle by Rodney pool wanna tackle by the safety and and I thought this is a Heisman Trophy winner talking about his team well lighter and lighter won the Heisman but Reggie Bush was the team's MVP that's right first and 15 man back to throw again field day as the two wide receivers when we expected Oklahoma's wide receivers to be the best course he can turn it on in a variety of different fashions there's what he's done tonight so far here's the costume woopsie slippin took himself down or he might have had a little bit more daylight to what was the mood of Reggie prior to this game did he have confidence kamistan he say we're going to make a statement he didn't say anything like that he was very marbeth the news after the game no problem problem it was like no problem no sweat just under 4 minutes left in the third quarter Jason white quick throw and load of complete to mark Clayton come out here and play like this fresh legs Peterson and the passion that he had for defense he says he sold me right there on his style and his play defense he said we bought into it here's white out Brandon Jones short of a first down Jason leach made the stop and thirdly takeaways get after takeaways and have some fun playin completes it across the middle of Travis Wilson and Travis has a first down out near midfield about the 48 yard line third down out of five sneaking up picking it on a blitz here come the Trojans white throws high almost intercepted again mark played the intended receiver Jason leach who was looking for the ricochet fourth in about five or six to go this town USC doesn't blitz right throws what's lucky short by that much the sooner schooner went out on the field and then they threw another flag 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on those two little poor ponies huh and the next field goal was blocked which is good another I feel all the time but now it's in the rulebook it is in the ropes in the manual the Orange Bowl manual from this game page 73 to 75 they told all these horses what they can and can't do tonight right now the horses are the Trojans and it's no wooden horse I'm telling you it's very well alive at the end of 3/4 landfill national championship and well in hand forty eight to ten the fourth quarter they think belongs to them forty eight to ten as we head into the fourth and final quarter of the college football season and right now the top-ranked team in the country looks all of that mentioned it's the first three and out for USC all night below the punt keeping it away from Antonia hookers it's about this quarter I got bad vibes in the bar bouncing around over there first possession was picture-perfect 92 yards and a touchdown in 12 plays just under six minutes it was white to Travis Wilson for a touchdown but in the last eight possessions nothing but one field goal the first time sticks is going to be a little bit short he's not just most buses little boy anymore he's grown up he's going to have his own room yep Stacy Fandel height did throw got it up to his tiny Bubba Moses he gave that ring to his mom and then he gave the ring from last year share the national championship to his dad he says you know my sister's do some jewelry pretty soon she might get the best ring on the right comes off to be a little bit shaken up having a great game on the defensive line for USC comes to the sidelines first and 10 13 minutes to play Jason White trying to hurry things up trying to get some kind of off it's intercepted this one buyback the defensive captains and one of the stars of that line back in core has yet another turnover it's just no fun right now if you're a sooner or a sooner fan in its jubilation time if you're a Trojan or a fan of the University of Southern California Atlanta at the Heisman Trophy winner five touchdown passes is a new orange for he gives it off the window into the secondary blend down to the races in Sabbath or the rich get richer I walked over to him and I said you don't have a bad arm for an old broken-down defensive back and he said Ness I'm still working on I said he'll report about this they'll wipe down to about the 8 yard line a yard short of the first down they say the rest is history that's right fourth and short Linda White's got the short he might have a touchdown gonna be a center celebration penalty I don't think they care Matua even spiked it they might get a couple celebration building let alone here's a kick-ass dignity from the dead 10-yard funky to kick it off in the 10-yard line because of the two unsportsmanlike contour Travis Wilson and Mark Radley are there on the bottom of your screen there about at the 35 yard line here's the one hopper and Bradley will take it in about the 31 Bradley into USC territory it's going to be probably the best starting field position that they've had all night just nine minutes away and the ATT championship trophy will be in the hands of USC to take back to the west coast the second year in a row Pete Carroll the Trojans invent at least to share on it this time it'll be all theirs Peterson got four more so a lot of those guys will be celebrating the big smiles on their faces is a quick screen and that's all blown up see all the Trojans are making the plays and the Clayton and all the receivers for Oklahoma are standing around yeah this is this is Bob Stoops third appearance in a national championship game in the last five years they only won at once but they've been in at the last two years it didn't work and I'm going to say they call touch backers say that that ball went out at the one-yard line it looks like it's out at the one Wow Mike Garrett signed him but he went out and said this is the kind of guy I think he could be a good head coach at the University of Southern California and he told me this this evening that's close to being a safety and it is it's one way for Oklahoma to get so back live at pro player Stadium Matt Leinart about the only thing he's been discussed with tinnitus he was just knocked down for a safety because sake of the night of a bad mishandle in the backfield in the end zone so now the free-kick coming up and the fun goes to the 33 Brandon Jones and Brandon gets back across midfield to about the 49 of the Trojans a good showing that slot sometimes four after each over Jason white to throw Travis Wilson and Travis out of bounds two or three yards shy of the first down a pickup of seven though a lot of people don't anticipating him as being a high draft choice at a quarterback spot the National Football League but he said I didn't want that sour taste in my mouth in the big 12 championship game last year and then the BCS title game in the Sugar Bowl in the loss to LSU because he to four interceptions in those two games and no touchdowns and he felt like he let his teammates the Sooner fans down so he came back sixth year of eligibility because of the medical hardship of having knee surgery twice and came back and he was so excited as you said you don't get many chances to have a mulligan and he had it tonight and he hit it out of bounds unfortunately but he's not the only one Nick Saban's defense they were really good the corners were NFL type corners and tonight they really felt like they could throw on these corners Wyatt on one side here's the open field now down the sideline inside the tail is DJ wolf the freshman and getting a little playing time and a nice run that's it that's the best run of the night for Oklahoma yeah it really does Reynolds goes out of motion to pull back Jason White to the end zone touchdown Travis Wilson good for Travis he's stuck in there he's made a lot of catches tonight and he gets in the end zone and it just makes the score look a little more and not so hard to look at I guess you should say for the suitor will you talk about how fun it is be around Pete Carroll he's got an infectious habit of players 11 but you might say he's crazy like a fox during the middle of some other dogs days I'm two days Pete Carroll decides to shake things up what she's known to do him practice a lot of times so he watched across the street to the Aquatic Center USC says everyone's going to jump up I'll go first and that's no small jump crazy like a fox indeed yep no doubt he knows that water's coming too but somebody's going to come up and grab and hold him until the next drink and the other guys that hit him with throwdown I want to thank all the folks as you get ready to save our job so much fold and give us so much help that's actually a co charger and the guy house cuz he's leavin they got it and Jason white thanks for coming back after your Heisman Trophy last year we've appreciated seeing you one more season in college football and the best of luck to you and your girlfriend and your baby daughter on whatever the future might hold and professional football or whatever else comes after that so a dominating performance by USC their band just ready to light it up here pretty soon and everybody set to head out on the field they couldn't get enough hands in there to get those national championship caps out of that box and those t-shirts out of that box pretty soon they'll all be down there with swanee to hoist assembly first FedEx Orange Bowl trophy your bcs national champions the trojans of USC a perfect season at 13 though and let the celebration for the University of Southern California begin USC tonight they're the national champions here at the FedEx Orange Bowl 55 points on the board 55 to 19 top ranked USC over number to Oklahoma last year they had to share the title this year they're not going to share it with anybody if that guy comes back maybe even if he doesn't come back this might be a Trojan dynasty that's going to last a long time they've won 22 straight when they've won 33 out of the last 34 since Matt Leinart took over at quarterback USA a big winner tonight to win the BCS National Championship and the ADT championship trophy that goes with it we'll join
