I turned the game off for awhile after the first quarter. So many gaffs it was frustrating to watch: Texas going for it on fourth and two at the 50? After the gamble backfires SC tries it themselves with a sneak from the Texas 20? Why not just kick the field goal and be grateful for a 10-0 lead? The Bush lateral was bad enough but the coaches were rolling the dice, too. The ref's don't review the Young lateral due to technical reasons yet all the guys in the box had to do was look at the TV replays. The hype and emotion surrounding the game maybe had a bigger effect than it should have on the decision making last night.

Seems like SC could have put a linebacker at the line of scrimmage to shadow Vince Young. He played an amazing game and deserved the MVP but did anyone notice how open his receivers appeared to be? Usually somebody open with no defender within 4-5 yards. Like shooting fish in a barrel for Young. SC showed the same porous defense against Fresno St. earlier this year. Texas did a fantastic job against Bush and have some great DB's too, forcing Leinart to have to thread the needle on several completions. Hats off to Texas. I guess I just expected a cleaner game though.
