Yeah. UT's defense was not incredibly impressive, but they were very clutch, and although Reggie Bush had a decent game they did stop him. Many analysts said that this would be the deciding factor of the game; whether or not they would be able to stop Reggie.

Why are they worrying this it now? :confused:

At least I have never heard USC "crying" about this call (i.e. Miami, pass interferance, 2002 BCS Championship game).

Bad replay feed allowed questionable TD at Rose Bowl

Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Replay officials at last season's Rose Bowl were unable to properly review a Texas touchdown that should have been overturned because the wrong television feed was plugged into a monitor.
Big Ten and national coordinator of officials David Parry told The Associated Press that he went to the replay booth during January's Rose Bowl between USC and Texas to ask about Selvin Young's 12-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. It appeared on replays that Young received a pitch from Texas' Vince Young after the quarterback's knee touched the ground.
Parry said replay officials told him one of the TV feeds they were receiving while trying to review the play had shots of fans in the stands. They did not see a shot from the camera angle that definitively showed the wrong call was made on the field until it was too late.
The problem was fixed after that play. Texas went on to win the game 41-38 and the national championship.
The story first was reported Friday by Yahoo.com.
The assistant replay official from the Rose Bowl, Dick Honig, told Yahoo.com that the feed problem might have affected the review of an earlier play involving Reggie Bush losing a fumble while trying to lateral the ball.
Bush had gotten deep into Texas territory with a screen pass when he tried to toss the ball to a teammate.
Parry said after viewing the play several times in very slow motion, it appeared Bush's pitch went slightly forward, which would have been an illegal forward pass, resulting in a dead ball and a penalty on USC.
Instead, the lateral was ruled sideways, and Texas was able to recover the fumble.
Parry said he doesn't believe officials on the field or in the replay booth made an egregious mistake, just a difficult judgment call.
"It was a very close call, and they did not have indisputable evidence to overturn it," he said.

While they're looking at games a year old, how about they go back to the game where Illinois blocked the field goal attempt, picked up the ball, threw it forward to another player, and then scored a touchdown. And don't give me that "they didn't have instant replay in the game at that time." They should use instant replay to review whether they had instant replay, and overturn that they didn't have instant replay.

Oh, and more importantly, Michigan still sucks.
