Texas 41. USC 38.
Just in case anyone forgot, Texas scored more points. This means they won.
ps ... as a lifetime Penn State Fan, I was hoping they would go to 12 overtimes, both teams stop from exhaustion, and both get credited with losses, making the Lions #1.
In other words, I did not care who won....
Here are some numbers ...
Penalties - USC 5 for 30 yards. Texas 4 for 34 yards
Fumbles - USC 1 Fumble, 1 lost. Texas 4 fumbles, 1 lost
Interceptions - USC 1, Texas 0
Total Yards - USC 595, Texas 583
Plays of the game ?
The Texas interception for a touchback in the 2nd quarter. WHAT a play !
The Texas fumble leading to USC's first touchdown (amazing how everyone ignores that).
The Reggie Bush lateral.
And Vince Young. Let's call it 30 plays.
The best part of the game ? The class of the 2 coaches. Pete Carroll, in defeat, was terrific. Mack Brown was gracious.
This was one of the best games in history.
