ESPN'S TAKE
Jim Donnan This game was good for college football. It was well-played and there was tremendous execution by both teams. In the end, Vince Young was the difference. There's no way you can describe how much pressure he puts on a defense. He was very effective in moving around in the pocket and finding the open guy. He made every play. -- Jim Donnan

Vince Young
Vince Young ran for 200 yards and passed for 267 in the Rose Bowl.
Off The Hook
For Texas to beat USC, Vince Young had to be good. He was. Actually, he was beyond good. VY almost single-handedly danced the Horns past USC 41-38 to clinch a national title. In the process, he became a Texas legend, writes Ivan Maisel. Story
