Young IS that good. I've seen him do it for the past two seasons. Usually the bigger the game, the better he plays.

I know you folks in California didn't get the opportunity to watch many Texas games, particularly Vince Young as a player throughout the year. Late game comebacks, clutch situations are what he thrives on. Just go back and watch last year's Rose Bowl and this year's game with Ohio State. He gets it done.

So it's understandable why most "experts" OUTSIDE of Texas (OK except Lee Corso), took USC. Those of us who watched Vince Young throughout the year just knew that if they didn't trip along the way, and they got into the Granddaddy of them all, Texas would come away with it, in the same dramatic fashion they had won those two other big games. Other games won the same way were the past two OK State games, last year's Kansas game (needing a touchdown, converging a 4th and 16 with less than a minute to play), last year's Texas Tech game, and this year's Texas A&M game.
