The Grand Daddy of All Title Games! (#2Texas vs. #1 USC 2006, Rose Bowl)

varying colors that have come to the stadium the trojans on one end and texas on the other end and the other side and i want to tell you there are a lot of texans in this stadium tonight dan fox we're looking at a game of speed versus speed but that definitely is going to be the key for both of these defenses tonight keith because of the extraordinary talent on offense don't be surprised if you don't see the trojans come out with a three-man defensive line one linebacker they want to put seven fast defensive backs on the field they kick it to it two yards three yards deep in the end zone he's coming he gets to the ten he gets to the 12 and down he goes brought down by robert killebrew linux stays under center bush moves over linux straight back pressure coming gets the pass away threw it as smith was turning and smith turned a little short and the ball sailed over his head malone can just kill it sometimes sometimes he out kicks the coverage texas will get good field position out of this one the reception was made at about the 43. fumbo texas man look low trojans have it the trojans get the football i mean somebody leveled ross and then the ball squirted out and usc covered it at the texas 46-yard line combination hit by colin ashton 59 and then the big hit comes in you can't predict them and you can't prevent them and sometimes you can't deal with it but let's see what happens here linux got a double wide top of the picture steps up throws short goes to smith smith inside the 40 down to well up smith this side jarrett at the top of the picture and bush gets it bounces outside with it runs over one texan and gets it all down for a first down kirkman comes back to help him line it drops to throw throws it down the sidelines kirkman and he makes the catch at the texas six yard line the fullback making a tough catch and taking a wicked blow they're going to run it with white and lindale walks in fred matua and brandon hancock laid powerful blocks to open the door for lindale white and boy has he rolled up some touchdowns this season 21 on the ground coming in that's 22 but when you look at his career it'll be second down in five as young picked up about five yards and then sean throws and it is completed across the 40 to the 42 to the tight end across midfield where it is third down and three for the texas longhorn and they're working out of the spread young with it turns it back up into the middle and dives for the first down and did not get it boilers on the southern california near the 48th test mark hands the ball to young and he didn't get it trojans tied him up and rolling back scott ware was the first man to get him scott ware a weak safety playing near the line of scrimmage on that fourth down and they bring jarrett back toward the ball he's the leading receiver they'll throw it sideways to it he's going to throw it down field throws it to steve smith it's too long smith had separated but jared let him by about two yards too much [Applause] throw it short underneath it's bush and they take him down three yards short of the first down just what do you want tried to throw at him during the run incidental five yard face mask on the defense hancock [Applause] push a little delay in the middle came flying through in the shoe came off line of throws almost intercepted my goodness he was intended for dwayne jarrett ball's thrown a bit behind him and terrell brown so you've got the two top receivers smith and jarrett at the top of the picture come this way to bush bush working in traffic got away from the first man he's down close to the 17-yard line he's out there now as a wideout liner keeps it oh that's close they should have kept him in the backfield he didn't make it he's about six inches shorty matt leinart either didn't hear him or was given the option to go for it but pete wanted a timeout there hoping to draw them off sides that was the plan matt had the opportunity like at notre dame and he went for it and he didn't get it charles uh brian cushing just missed leveling charles about the time he got the ball he ducked and saw him and felt him and got away from him and same kind of a play except young this time keeps it tackle tackle tackle at the first down after the 35-yard line before oscar lua brings him down we hope on first down young back looking to throw pumps it now lets it go and it is caught caught up field by billy pittman cosby is among the speedsters coming outside all these texas receivers they're a track team ball is carried by charles charles back with the ball is loose i think pittman got it number five at the bottom of that pile he put the junior back in there at tailback and vince young back to throw pressure coming they miss him now he gets it away anyway and the pass is completed and i don't know if it was completed or not he i know that one knee was down over here and bush comes toward the ball white gets it runs in traffic or he found something over there and he went blazing through for nine yards some others may go but if they don't here comes reggie bush out of bounds at the 35-yard line he could have been flagged for it but nothing like that happened it is second down and 10 after an incomplete fall pass that's dominique berg to tie it in a very fast gun and sometimes he goes deep they drop it off got a little screen action set up for burst yeah look out ball fumble texas has got it he's trying to lateral the balls what he was doing keith he saw a teammate out to the side and flipped the ball out there and texas has got it second fumble on the year for reggie bush he was trying to get it back to brad walker who was trailing he'd been able to at six walker number 18 there never expected the ball [Applause] the old turnover has shown up tonight already and vincent back to throw has a lot of daylight in front of him and he takes off and the guards and center doing pretty good too not bad sunline is a good player ball is thrown over here to this side to david thomas again thomas and after the offside call it's first in time young looking they chase your knife and he throws back across the field pass this complete divine carter carter will be inside the 30 down to the 27 before pinkerton can bring him down from the sc 27 young drops back takes off off the middle he's finally fought at the 15-yard line by darnell beam got him falls loose texas is going to get it back trojans win right over the top of it oscar came in and knocked it loose looking around goes down the middle and it is incomplete he's been steady and he's worked on that leg and he's got enough leg on this one and it's good in the first half they win championships with defense ball thrown for smith [Applause] the last two roosevelt kyle williams is in uh at tackles has been at tackle for usc and there's your first down down to the 40-yard line for the trojans [Applause] [Music] lets it go and it's in the corner and it is intercepted or knocked away by michael griffin he didn't pick it i guess well he caught it i don't think he got his feet inbound zoki you can see smith is open for a short time there comes griffin that's an interception folks he had one put down that right foot down and the whistle blows they're going to have to take a look and give texas the ball at the 20. yes flips in the end zone knocks the pylon over after review there is indisputable video evidence that the pass was intercepted with a foot in the end zone the touch back first down pencil and you've got six minutes and 50 seconds to play in the first half this is no time for the week we're gonna go out and start moving the ball on second down and three young throws to the sidelines passes caught up at the 43 move you change first down keeps it sets to throw gets it off in a hurry just a little quick and the ball is thrown up to the 45 and the reception by david thomas the tie-down rolls close to a first down young pitches it outside on an option and it works with silvan young this possession started back on the 20-yard line young's pass down to the outside goes to the tight end thomas again and thomas goes out 5 20 to go in the first half almost got him behind the line of scrimmage but it is jamal charles the speedster who takes it inside the trojan 25 broke the tackle ramsey can't get him rucker can't get him and he's in the secondary first down texas young's got it going to run it lost the ball pitched it out he pitched it out touchdown touchdown the southern young i don't know it looked like he might have been down didn't it he did to me i thought he was but i'm looking at it with binoculars darnell bing almost had him down but he dropped it off i didn't know if it was a fumble or a pitch well reggie bush tried this earlier with disastrous results young knows he's got help to the outside the ball he's down he's down they're gonna have to check this one out take these points off the board he was on on the ground before he pitched the ball ah gonna get away kick it quickly i can't believe they're not reviewing this one this is huge [Applause] kick is good longhorns trying to hold him and force the punt four minutes to go there's plenty of time to do some more damage run out of time yep burn the clock two uncharacteristic mental mistakes by the trojans on this drive offense number 11. five yards line it down the middle intended for jarrett and defended very well by michael griffin an incomplete and it's fourth down tom malone and aaron ross is waiting malone's got a low one and it is fielded by ross and that lowland drive gave him a little room and he brings it back up the field about 18 yards of the sideline he works at it all the time on first down now for the horns as young looks around and lets it go deep and it is incomplete it was intended have been accepted he had he known who it was too they have that chance here's vince wants to run it gets outside and the first man didn't get it the first man didn't get it ryan carter is in for texas now as they go to three wide out working out of the spread young's pass thrown down the middle it goes to the tight end thomas scott ware was after vince young but the ball was gone and he hands it this time to taylor and taylor's got the ball got daylight and touchdown texas so the longhorns have exploded but being behind to a team with the talent and speed of texas that's another thing that's a totally different thing reinert getting pressure drops it off to reggie bush push trying to run around the corner can't do it steps out of bounds thanks to kiffin but he's going to give the ball to reggie you can count on that and try to get the ball to dwayne jarrett well they mark him out leaving him four yards so he's stepped out we can't see the sideline from where we are there's so many folks here leinard lets it go and it's a battle of this incomplete almost intercepted ball cannot cause that ball and the ground cannot cause the ball to come loose like that i thought he had it [Applause] he did he had possession when he hit the ground but anyway here's uh the first down picked up [Applause] well he's got plenty of time drills the ball down inside the 40-yard line to dwayne jones they can get something on the board going to the clubhouse at halftime they'll feel better about themselves i'm sure linux in trouble takes off a lot of room now finally tracked down at about the 25. find it again throws inside ball to bush and reggie spread them out backfield's empty 40 seconds to play in the first half bush is on this side weiner sacked back at the 21 by ocam one two three four five six of them up there find it steps away falls down nobody to throw the ball to texas can block it they've got some long tall folks to get up in the air and here you figure it's going to be low when he kicks it from this distance but he got it off and he made it it is texas 16 and usc 10. time for our nokia player comparison take a look at the two quarterbacks you can see vince young dominique bird's been clapped tonight with there's human motion there lined up straight back gets it away gets his first down as he throws the brampton head cut four-man front to texas ball goes dropping back throws down the middle jarrett's got it and dwayne jarrett will take it down to about the 22-yard line right now they're looking at second down and five ball is on the texas 17 yard line they're curling by six points ball is handed off to lindale white he takes off triple runners goes for the corner of the end zone that finally got him michael griffith got down around his feet or whether reggie bush will go to the driver maybe he depends on what happened here tonight the trojans right now get it back to white and here ends it into the end zone touchdown so now usc with an opportunity if they can convert to take the lead again great start defensively for the trojans to start the second half even better start for their offense as white pays it off with two very strong and important runs for the trojans jamal charles is set back there with vince young and out of bounds he goes second down and three this is charles cuts it back in traffic finds a crease and a fine run running right then a block got a big block from pitman over there and runs a big play for texas big block for him from billy pittman throw him down the middle got it it's lava swede run it in the middle that's charles again reaches for it touchdown he's got the team on his back man well we talked about you can be in position you can have the right defensive call made you can do everything right but if you've got him one-on-one you're probably not going to tackle him well he's limited that at that position [Applause] [Music] [Applause] smart guy the pass for another first down it goes to fred davis [Applause] want to do it again down the middle jarrod couldn't get by that last man a sure tackle by michael griffin to take him down at about the 21. this is more in line what you would expect between two offensive powers that average better than 50 points per game all season why not throws the ball to bird and bird will get inside the 15s is the beatback liner kept it throws up the bird he stepped out of bounds no it's fred davis and they'll call it an incomplete forward pass because he was out of bounds he's a tough quarterback that's a good call he was out of bounds watching that big old yeah robinson was coming wasn't he oh pounds of him fourth down and one with quite the deep back big play here folks goes to white runs up the middle that'll do it touchdown that's 26 touchdowns of this season for lindale white and they now own that combination touchdown record and the ncaa record books they have 98 now breaking the old davis blanchard market and that's mr insiders as the trojan fans like to call him thunder hope he replaces him no pressure ball thrown and good young lost the throw going to take off look out all the way to the 20-yard line before keith rivers can bring him down with help from darnell bing throws it back across the field the tackle is made with the reception missed both of them to the right side they've entered the back field or five whiteouts matt weinert quick drop quick pass pass is caught by dwayne jarrett so jared becomes the money man bush is outside of the wide out to the top of your picture and the ball goes to lindale white there's your first down second down and eight for the trojans with the ball a thrust on the texas side of the field and here goes white again and he's counting now he's third and two big guys still in there he gets it glendale white inside the 30-yard line to the 26th reggie bush is your deep back [Applause] he gets it goes to the outside with it oh it's around the corner touchdown i'm making sure it took a while to get those arms up i'm not sure these officials from the big ten have ever seen anybody fly through the air like reggie bush can this ball was designed to go right up the middle it wasn't there but this was stayed in bounds airborne touchdown reggie bush [Applause] second down in ten hench young looking around throws to the sideline playlock and spot along the offensive line and they are good ouch ball completed down the middle and it is a first down at the southern california 35-yard line third down and five young's got it he won't get it fumbled any further did he turn it over well it looked like it rolled loose casey stuttered got on it same hash mark too wide right [Applause] that's why it's inside number 75 what a moment for him [Applause] get to the way pass is complete to the fullback kirkman the definitive flag back at the 10-yard line as you roughing the passer number 40 is killebrew and that is a two-step late shot number 40. 15 yards from the end of the run glendale white's in there he gets it [Music] [Applause] touchdown two longhorns hurt on the play they lighted from the 31-yard line quick pop to the sideline pass is complete [Applause] risk him breaking the pocket making the long run or you sit back in zone right now they're just sitting back in zone hoping to take time off the clock i think they've got to go after them somewhere between here and the goal [Applause] he's just shopping here comes the blips but they got him moving around a little bit the ball's thrown high it's up for grabs and goes down incomplete ryan ting when he runs best is this directed and he's close to a first down third and two kevin thomas checks into the secondary the extra back trojans going after him ball is thrown after first down second down and four he's got six yards on that little short pass young slips a little coming back there's daylight here he goes touchdown and they get the ball back driving kick taken down at the five yard line by reggie bush who's been quiet tonight and no just a half a step from second and seven little rollout from matt now throws it coming back for the ball dwayne jarrett is just that what awareness virgins have won two and a half minutes to play trojans lead by five lina drops it off and it is incomplete thrown short they run it with lindale white oh that's uh no check out the ball here as white spins came loose he did fumble and it was recovered by steve smith for the trojans and reggie's on the sidelines but lindell white's in there he's the power back he gets it he didn't get it he gets it meaning he got the ball that official right there is marking the ball this is right down the line great penetration kelson in there huff in there down below half the stadium is going to go crazy the vern orange side did and let him win the game for you as he's done so many times he can't keep laying back there in his own can you here comes it second down and 12. they lost two yards they've got some pressure on yarn he bounces the ball minute and 35 seconds to play black's coming again they pick him up he throws to the sidelines the pass is completed but it is short of the first down that's bob crosby and what do they say a flag comes in keith i think it's going to be a late hit against sc during the play incidental five yard face master number 20 defense the five yard penalty results in a first down yep watch darnell bing right there with the left hand and a five-point usc lead it's young throws on a slant ball caught and that's the ball comes rolling out 104. they get seven seconds back young's gonna run with it oh he stepped right through attack mike garcia just stepped right through the hands of calling trojans have got to make a defensive player they're going to lose thrown short underneath there's a man just wide open ryan carter incomplete gonna run it gets inside the 10 to the nine and the clock keeps going 30 seconds same call timeout twice 37 toledo 35 and southern california 34 with miami and penn state up to the trojan defense now to preserve the streak incomplete that was a good defensive play on lima swede fourth and five the national championship on the line right here he's going for the corner he's got it vince young scores as we said keith you can have the perfect defense called you can force him out of the pocket but you're not gonna beat him invincible [Applause] 4-2 runs it and made it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] no chance [Applause] they're coming hard lynette shoves it ahead to bush got a block goes down and out of bounds stopping ziploc eight seconds to play in a ball game eight seconds is not very much runs away from the pressure now he's got to throw it and throws it high and out of bounds and the game is over texas has defeated southern california 41-38 to win the national championship of college football this is win number 800 for the university of texas
