USC GOT JOBBED. The refs 1) didn't challenge Vince Youngs pitch, 2) failed to call the fumbled pass as one, 3) and somehow amid all of the quarterbacks running never called a holding penalty. AMAZING. NCAA SUCKS ANYWAY!
For one, Texas was realing off plays in 10-20 yard chunks at the time. Do you really think the outcome would have been different had they been 1-10 at USC's 12 yard line? Obviously, there is a slight chance. Anything can happen, but chances are, they would have scored anyways.
For two, the rule for a catch is to gain control of the football, and make a football move. The reciever had position for a split second, and then it was knocked lose. There is no question that he did NOT make a football move.
For three, with a game as big as a national championship game, would you rather have it dominated by the refs than by the players on the field? You mean to tell me that White was pounding away for 6-8 yards a pop, and there was no holding? Yes, both offensive lines were dominant, and didn't need to hold there inferior opponents.
Texas played a better game, was better coached, and deserved the win. All of this coming from a Sooner too. USC should have handed the ball to White 35+ times. It was obvious from the start that he was the biggest threat to the Texas D. I'm glad to see it go this way though. Giving the Heisman to Bush was a total fraud, and took away any credibility that the award still retained. It was obvious VY was the best player in the country, and Bush wasn't even as good, statistically, as Adrian Peterson was last year, when he came in 2nd to Lienart. Congrats to all the Longhorn fans out there. We'll see you in Big D next year
