(unofficial) Rose Bowl thread - USC vs. Texas (merged)

Yeah well ND scored first and you all know how much god that did....
part smile , part tears!

Usually that'd be a huge momentum swing... but Young hasn't even stepped on the field yet. It'll be interesting to see how UT performs on their first offensive series.

 

[RMosack]

Funny how Jackson/Fouts didn't mind the SC helmet to helmet that caused the fumble, but really complained about the Texas h to h on the
SC FB.

 

[NFBuck]

Alright, now come on VY!

 

[RMosack]

Nice pass by Young.

 

[OSUsushichic]

UT needs to keep their composure. They've shown some signs of losing it (late hits, etc.)

 

[NFBuck]

Gutsy call...hope he gets it. Oh boy, thats not good.

 

[bkochmc]

Gutsy call by Mack...

and SC gets great field position... not good

 

[OHSportsFan]

Is it me or is Texas not getting good spots at all?

 

[RMosack]

The best they can come up with VY on the team is a basic off tackle run on 4th and 1! WTF? Either punt it like you should, or bring more than that.

 

[notfadeaway]

Tejas is in trouble

 

[NFBuck]

NEED a stop here, going down two scores to that offense would suck. :tic:

So far, they haven't. Pittman gave some ground on the first down play, but they spotted it way back. The 3rd down spot should've been closer too. Still, that was weak.

FWIW, did anyone notice the play clock ran out on 3rd down on SC's first possession before the snap?

Yeah, that was very questionable. VY goes what 6'5, 235?

... it'd be like going down two scores to the Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl.
