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.

Most experts outside of Texas picked Texas to win; Holtz was the largest voice of them all.
I had some weird feelings about this game as is, especially after seeing UCLA, Nortre Dame and Fresno give SC a hard time. And all that coming back in the second half crap for Leinart doesn't make for a well-balanced attack on the opponent.
All I really have to say about USC is sayonara to big winning seasons for a couple years. The program will change, particularly now that Lendale White is rumored to leave along with Bush and Leinart. Carroll supposedly has a big time QB in the wings, and a new r-back. So we'll see.
