Rose Bowl - (#1) USC vs. (#2) Texas - Stand Up and Be Counted!

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.

Thanks, Xema…you can’t watch ABC?

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.

No television. Which I’m mostly happy about, but sometimes regret.

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.

Does anyone know why Reggie Bush has the number 619 written on his face?

And why didn’t they review that last “non-interception”?

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

There will be whining about that for a whole year. All the more reason Texas needs to win by at least 2 TDs

The dudes in the booth looked like they were 75 year old Shriners.

Ahh…thanks. I was guessing it was some kind of stat but I couldn’t imagine what.

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