I was at the Texas/USC game. Sat in the middle of the end zone, in the USC section, right above where VY scampered in for the winning score. The atmosphere was electric, the game was sensational. My voice was merely a squeak by the end.
You broke my heart Vince! Toughest loss I ever experienced as a sports fan! Everyone in the Rose Bowl, including myself, knew what was going to happen on 4 & 5 and couldn't stop you. You're a bad man! Best single game performance I've ever seen, unfortunately I was on the losing side. GREAT GAME!
As a 10 year old boy I remember watching that Texas USC Rose Bowl and being absolutely mesmerized. I fell in total love with sports the year before watching the 04 ALCS and NFL games but that Rose Bowl was just incredible.
Fisher has got to be one of the most baffling head coaches ever. Dude was so prideful that he would self sabotage his teams just because he didn't like certain draft picks.
@@StoneCold2k57 certainly VY was not perfect as he expressed in this video, but the dude is right, there is absolutely no denying Fisher absolutely sabotaged VY's career. Maliciously and intentionally. Really pathetic and I was a titans fan. If VY was playing in today NFL, he would be thriving.
For ppl who watched cfb at that time will always have a special place in their hearts for Vince. dude was an absolute stud muffin. 🙌 good to see you thriving
I wish VY came back in 06 because I strongly believe Texas does NOT lose to Kansas State and Texas A&M. I’ll throw a coin flip in the rematch against Ohio State.
I can’t wait to see Vince Young’s son play football in high school this year and hopefully at Texas in a few years. Vince is still my all time favorite Longhorn and I am still thrilled by the magic he made at Texas as an all time greatest player. I don’t think there will ever be another player that did what Vince did on the field, hopefully his son can make magic at Texas also!
That dude was absolutely electric whenever he stepped on the field. People talk about the USC game and the Michigan game as they should but those games up in Stillwater and Columbus were also insane.
Had everything, cool celebrities on each side, NFL QBs, an insane amount of lead changes, final seconds score to win. USC best linebacker core ever, Cushing, Matthews & Rey M. Such a great game, Vince was unstoppable that year.
🤘🏽VY running across that goal line to win the natty caused my dad and I to erupt in cheers, yells, & high fives. My mom, who had warned us multiple times that we were being too loud, threw my dad’s pillow out of their room and screamed “You’re sleeping on the couch!” 😂
My mom was getting ready for bed, after he scored me and my dad started yelling and I ran into their room and started jumping on their bed screaming. As a 16 year old haha.
To see Vince Young almost single-handedly defeat SC in that 2006 Rose Bowl national championship, was one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had watching sports. But taking a step back and looking at it from a bigger perspective all these years later, it really was the greatest college football game I’ve ever seen and probably will ever see in my lifetime.
@@edwardrichardson9543 I remember watching that game too. He was incredible. His passing AND rushing numbers were better in the National championship against SC. He did account for more total TD's against Michigan though.
I can't believe it, but we're approaching close to 20 years since that USC-Texas game. Crazy how times flies and there hasn't been a more exciting, star-studded game since.
Love VY! The rightful 2005 Heisman Trophy winner in my eyes! If VY had been drafted today, he would've played 10 great years in the league. Fisher didn't know how to utilize his talents back then. Coaches thought you couldn't be a running qb in the nfl back then. I wish he would've come out and been drafted by John Harbaugh back then, and he would've been another Lamar Jackson.
@@jb7604Did Tim carry his team to a win against the "best team of all time". We all remember all the talk and hype of how great USC was and VY said, "NOPE!"
@@jay____l 2 BCS titles. Heisman. I remember him being all bloodied and still playing. And he has the most epic speech in College Football History called "the promise". VY was lucky in 1 game. How does that compare?
I was a young kid living in LA..Man I cried when this man beat SC When he took off running on that 4th and 5…Still have trauma from that. Haven’t rewatched it to this day lol
I remember Paul Harvey coming on with his regular radio show a couple days before the Rose Bowl Game and telling us about the people from Texas were going to find out how good Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart are and USC was sure to win, and blah, blah, blah. I just thought, how totally in the dark the people on the West Coast were how they were about to find out how good V.Y. is.
The media was ultra oblivious to how good Texas was. They acted like Texas had no chance and even after the game they acted like it was a fluke. Texas literally had more future NFL players on their roster than USC.
As a East Austin Native, seeing the Horns doing good now feels long over due! This town goes crazy for the longhorns 😅🤘🤘🤘. Quinn is our guy right now and archie is the future. So Lets support Quinn right now
Yep, people don't realize he went to Texas specifically so he wouldn't be pressured to start. He doesn't need money, he wants to learn and grow. He'll get to start soon and all he needs is one good season and he'll be first off the draft board.
VY was the ultimate leader that Natty year bc at the beginning of the season, he called a meeting of players only “for those who want to win a National Championship, meet me after practice!” Championship teams are always when the players come together with a laser focus.
@Kenxclout I understand that, but you can't tell me that some very elite players come out of them states? It's obvious that Franklin and staff are going down and getting some players from the south for a reason!!! Have a good one buddy 👍!!!! WE ARE
it's a good interview with an all time great CFB QB. cowherd is pretty overboard with his globbing onto austin.. If you had to pick one quarterback over the past 25 years to win a championship game it would have to be either VY or Cam in my opinion..
Houston was idiotic for not getting him. VY would have flourished if he could have stayed near his home and had support from a coach that wasn't trying to throw him under the bus.
@@phvtmphvrh42 More L ies and False narratives that Jeff Fisher ruined everything Vince Young made mistakes in his career and was inconsistent Quarterback Kiddo so try again you wrong
10 was unstoppable in both Rose Bowls. I was at both Rose Bowl games as a Texas Alum. Michigans fans weren’t respectful after the game. They couldn’t understand how one player could just take over in the 4th quarter. The USC fans were much better.
I got.mogot says if they did the rewards after the final games played that Vince would won the Heisman especially after that performance at rose bowl I believe people would changed their minds on top of that Reggie would cost his self with that lateral he did even then it cost them the game pretty much as well.
If Reggie Bush doesn't lateral the ball... If USC running back gets an inch!!!! On 4th down. If the USC defense can just make a stop after the fourth down debacle. Vince strutting in for the 🏆win
It's funny looking back how the media acted like that USC team was unbeatable and Texas was the big underdog yet when you look back. Texas had more NFL talent on their roster and had VY come back for his final year, they possibly would have been the best college team of all time.
No he didn't VY was elite of course but Texas had several NFL lineman, a solid NFL TE, Jamaal Charles as a Freshman, Selvin Young was good enough to start for 80% of the country, Romance Taylor was the third most dynamic player on the entire field after VY and Bush, and Limas Sweed/Billy Pittman flamed out in the pros but were excellent college WRs, and that doesn't even count Quan Cosby and Jordan Shipley as freshman. In fact Texas had more future NFL players on their roster than USC.
@@calebdiscool40 his game plans were pretty simple to only go a couple reads deep, take off to buy time and then check again if anyone was open downfield before taking off. He did do a lot of the earliest heavy RPO style offenses though which does absolutely require reading a defense. He was one of the best leaders of men I've ever seen from a QB in CFB, and he was actually quite the accurate college QB. He threw over a 65% completion rate which is really high, even to this day. Your whole take was ignorant and incorrect.
It’s so annoying when he attributes realignment for these “big” games. Oregon played OSU a couple years ago, Texas had already scheduled Bama, and now they take on Michigan. The schools should’ve always looked to these big matchups, they had started doing it but will probably stop now because the conference level is “too hard”
Collin is so conflicted with USC because he wants to claim them as a glamour program but they are evidently mediocre at best the last 20 years. Just because you are in a big city, doesn’t mean you’re glamorous, he loves to rag on smaller market programs when that is typically where success has been
Typical SEC talk, "Now it's LSU, now it's Georgia, now it's Bama." No Collinn it's not, Bama and LSU aren't on the schedule. Love how they act like you are playing a top 4 team every week.
Theres been others too, Adrian Peterson was a monster, Roy Williams, Corey Redding, Derrick Johnson, Kyler Murry were a few absolute studs in Texas HS football all time.

I'm an SC fan, we knew it would be a good close game, but we all expected SC to win. We couldn't stop Vince Young. Great game, still hurts, though.
I was in Lexington Kentucky on a business trip and the manager kept the bar open due to the time difference cause the game was that great.
Vince Young and Troy Smith are responsible for my die hard love for College Football. Liked college as a youngster but the Mid 2000s was lit🔥

Works for brothas not everyone sadly
