Too bad USC didn't play the horns. I'd love to see Colt McCoy against the best defense in the nation!

Wow, best BCS game by far this year. I just can't believe that the Longhorns beat the buckeyes by three points again. Screw Michigan, I think we have a new rivalry here! Still, not the result I wanted.
Yeah, I agree. If USC had played the horns it wouldn't have been close.
Colt would have been broken.
I really can't stand that gum smacking vest wearing Coach Tressel. Glad the Long Horns won!
And you are right, I have no idea why Ohio played up on the line instead of prevent on that last play. It made no sense. Keep everyone in front of you with so little time to play.
What is Ohio's record in bowl games now?!
Ohio State
The Buckeyes ask why Jesus Christ, Colt McCoy's Lord and Savior, hates them. Without him, they would have been at the victory podium.

Wow. That game was closer than I think most of us expected.
Now, before SLC jumps in, let me be the first Ute to say that this game shouldn't give Texas any arguments for being national champions. C'mon guys, everyone expected you to slaughter the buckeyes. What happened?
P-Worm

35-3 with no wells or pryor.. wells is a soft little bitch though, he always takes a little hit then can't play anymore or sits out for a few plays
you guys realize texas was only supposed to win by 9 right?

Do you really think the Horns would have had a chance playing the way they did tonight against USC's awesome defense?
One thing USC does is rise to the big game. (and get stung by the weak sisters)
We need a playoff system.
Okay first of all, as far as I know, I'm the only Longhorn on this message board. Someone please tell me where I said that we should be National Champions, that we'd beat up on USC, or anything else. Feel free to try and tear me down and rain on my parade. That's fine. But for a team that was supposed to lose at least four this season, I'm happy.
Your not alone
a w is w, texas got the w, it doesn't matter how you get as long as you get it
Actually I love the horns second only to my USC team.
I just would have liked to see USC vs Texas instead of Penn State.
Bring on the playoff system. Dump the current BCS model,
And congrats Horns fans!

I agree and my team got all of theirs!
SLC
Just one thing to say....
45 - 42
Well, the college football season is rapidly approaching!
The USA Today/Coaches Poll Preseason Top 25 just came out yesterday,
and yes... my Dawgs are firmly perched on top.
I thought we would have a thread to track the season!
But, since it is the preseason still, there are several topics to kick around and express your opinion about:
- Who are your top 5 teams going into this season?
- Heisman hopefuls? Who is your pick?
- Is the SEC truly the best conference? Big 10? Big 12? Pac 10? Big East? ACC?
- Paterno v. Bowden and is this the last year for either of them?
- What do you think about the BCS?
- Should Ohio State be allowed to play for championship again???
- Fill in the blank _______________________ with your own!
I know there are a lot of colleges represented on the board, so let's keep it civil but passionate.
Bring your game and make your case for your team(s).
Woof, Woof - Dawg
45 - 42
You mean:
The USC D that played only 3 top 25 offenses.
The USC D that only played 1 top 10 offense.
The USC D that played 7 teams ranked lower than 50.
The USC D that played 4 teams ranked lower than 100.
They played (opponent's offense ranking):
Virginia (115)
Ohio State (42)
Oregon State (32) - loss
Oregon (7)
Arizona State (84)
Washington State (119)
Arizona (16)
Washington (118)
California (27)
Stanford (55)
Notre Dame (68)
UCLA (110)
Penn State (11)
With that schedule I would hope that USC would play good D.
People like to rag on the Big 12 for it's supposed "terrible" D, but consider OU played 8 top 25 offenses, Texas played 6.
Definitely wasn't his best game, but at least he came through in the clutch....that's all that matters sometimes. It's hard to say someone passed for 400+ yds and it wasn't their best game.
I though the exact same thing you did. I have no clue why they didn't pass rush with three and put everyone else in coverage. I guess they can add a prevent package to the playbook next year.
big10 has weak secondarys but we sure can stop the run
psu vs usc proved it more
even pryor threw up 200+ on us
Luckily we have a 4star cornerback coming in, and hopefully some others

Yes, the same USC.
Don't kid yourself, every coach and writer agrees.
USC has the best defense bar none.
Playoff system would easily prove that.
Fans love offense (and so does the Borg)
But football lover's know the game is about defense.
Not that USC hasn't proven itself offensively as well.
