Another fumble…lucky that Texas got it back and made a field goal with it. USC - 7 Texas - 3 with about 10:40 left in the 2nd. ---

YR - your reports are a damn site more interesting and informative than what’s on MSNBC. (I can’t quite believe that they have such a lame way of reporting on a game in progress.) ---

Huge interception by Texas’ Griffen at the goal line to stop USC from scoring…props to him. ---

Trojans just got totally screwed on that TD. Why the hell wasn’t there a review? ---

Oh man, Texas got a lucky non-call with Young lateralling to another player when his knee was on the turf…BUT they rushed the extra point attempt and missed…this could be quite a factor later in the game… Texas - 9 USC - 7 ---

I had no doubt that Texas would have scored on that drive, even if they made the right call on the field. In hindsight, I even bet that Texas wished they had another chance to finish the drive and make the PAT. ---

USC is making some mental mistakes and the most critical one is giving Texas another shot at the 50 yard line with 3:45 left in the half. The defense needs to make a stand here or this might be the beginning of the end. ---

Yup…that was a critical mistake… Texas - 16 USC - 7 2:34 left in the 2nd. ---

Has USC been this far behind all year? I’m starting to think they were taking this game for granted. That attempted lateral by Bush was a little cavalier, for instance. they better get it going or they’re going to get shocked. This Horns offense is looking pretty good. ---

Well, that non-call interception that Texas would of had kind of even things out…although I think that was the worse of the two. ---

Lienhart takes a hard hit on a broken pass play, 2 Texas players with cramps…ball on the Texas 25 with :49 left. ---

He’s from the 619 area code in So-Cal (San Diego area). His way of showing off his roots, I guess. ---

USC kicks a 43 yarder to make the score 16-10…that missed PAT is looming large again.
