I've been a Texas football fan my whole life, and this game happened when I was a senior in high school. I've rewatched this game so many times, and I still get chills watching Vince run that TD in. Best game ever.
Same
Okay, that's cool. I guess? I know I don't care, I doubt many people do.
@@omalley5196 Seems a bit contradictory considering you took the time to leave a comment.
If you watched it so many times then you know that knee was down before. He pitched the ball and they got to score a touchdown. The only reason why texas one is because the referees gave the game to them. There was no other way anybody could handle USC back then.
@@brianhenley9314cope and it’s won, not one.
"4th and 5 the national championship on the line"
That call gives me goosebumps every time
And on my birthday
The entire world knew Vince was going to keep it... Except Pete Carroll
UT ran the same formation on 4th as they ran for their pass play on 3rd. The formation was an RPO (run/pass option), but Vince being 30/40 and killing those short passes all night, USC couldn't take the chance and dropped all their LBs into coverage. Pretty sure DE Frostee Rucker was supposed to contain Vince on the right side, but instead of RB Selvin Young staying in on the right side to block for his QB, this time he ran an out-and-in pass pattern. Frostee saw it late, tried to jump inside to knock Selvin off his route, and in doing so opened the WHOLE right side of the field to Vince's eventual scramble. UT fans always knock Greg Davis for his unimaginative playcalling, but I always give him the credit for the one that mattered the most.
Pete Carroll is not the DC or play caller dumbass
Pete Carroll, the same guy that called a pass instead of a run at the 1 against the patriots.
@@918Mitchell he didnt call that play, the offensive coordinator did.
Yes Frostee lossed that game for us. I wouldn't be able live with myself if I was him.
I bet pete Carroll threw the ball in the superbowl bc lendale white was stopped on 4th down in this game
😂😂😂😂
Lendale White ain’t no Marshawn tho
Drew Harrison I never even thought of that
how does a 4th an ONE, with the LEAD, compare to 2nd and goal, while losing??? both dumb calls.....if the pats stop lynch twice, you tip your cap and accept the L.....instead you throw a slant to your 4th best receiver......us hawks fans will be forever haunted by that until we hoist the lombardi again....only THEN will the Demons of super bowl 49 be vanquished!.....and i dont see that happening any time soon....what could have been...that one play turned half of the team against Pete and we have never been the same.....
you guys realize you were only in that position because you had one of the luckiest plays in history go your way when the ball got tipped and should have been incomplete but somehow ended up in Kearse's lap while he was laying on the ground after taking 5 separate bounces off Kearse and butler.
People are always quick to tell you about the ones that didn't go their way, but they conveniently never talk about the things that went there way that shouldn't have...
IIRC, this was also Keith Jackson's last game that he announced. Great send-off for probably the best college football announcer ever.
oh nelly!
He's going for the corner... He's got it!!
He stayed around just for this game. He knew it needed his voice
He's making the most thrilling call of the game: 4th down, 4th quarter, national championship on the line? You can hear Keith Jackson's clearly disappointed voice: "He's got it." He had been an open partisan for California the entire game, along with the rest of the corporate media.
College football hasn't been tha same since Keith Jackson retired frum calling play by play
Vince should have won the Heisman... anyone who watched him play all year knew he was the greatest athlete out there... had he had stayed 1 more yr we'd have been b2b
These vids are so underrated you guys deserve WAY more subs
Onion Man the production quality, interesting topics and great narration. These videos are always a must watch in my playlist even if I don’t know or give a crap about the sport or thing they’re talking about. Love this channel keep it up y’all
Watch 30 for 30 and you'll see much higher quality videos of the same topics
I think 352k is plenty for a bunch of hacks 🤣🤣🤣
No one deserves anything
@@joeg5414 that comment didn't age well
2015 - Seahawks should've ran it.
2006 - USC should've passed it.
Pete Carroll can't win either way. Lol
2014 - Seahawks win 43-8
2005 - USC wins 55-19
Pete Carroll has done alright. Lol
math- I meant more along the line of how Carroll gets criticized and second guessed so much. Reading it now i see how it can look different.
math they also won the orange bowl in 2003 it's not outright but it's a title
Coincidence? Or Ironic?
The problem in 2006 was not that they should have passed it, what they should have done is put Bush in the backfield along with LD
Just the final seconds of the video gave me chills even though y’all say “Welcome to a moment in history” in every video but just listen to that then watching Vince Young score with the commentator saying “HES GOING FOR THE CORNER HES GOT IT” has got me excited for college football again
I decided that I would get my masters degree from UT that night.
I graduated in 2012. HOOK EM!
Where'd you get the PhD from?
@@Qtoyghs definitely either aTm or OU. Lol.
🤘🏾
I don’t think Vince gets enough credit for what he did for university of Texas and for college football and football itself. That performance may of generated 30 billion in revenue maybe more because it had such a massive and lasting impact on the game
This is the best college football game ever, period.
Nope, 2013 Iron Bowl
@@richardcypherrahl hell no
Cant compare a regular season game between 2 teams from the same state to a game that was truly national and one everyone cared about
Vader Minion 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl is by far the best game of all time.

PLEASE DO THE BOISE STATE FIESTA BOWL STATUE OF LIBERTY PLAY!!!!!
Call it Jon Boise State. ;)
That play was the stuff of pure, fried gold legend.
Evan Durant that play was amazing
That joke is pretty good
That regulation ending hook and ladder to tie it up...
That OT HB pass TD to set up the statue of liberty play.
What a game.
Some cool rewind ideas I have:

-The Minneapolis Miracle
- JR Smith’s Game 1 error in the 2018 NBA Finals
-Brandon Bostick’s mistake in the 2014 NFC title game
-David Freese’s heroics in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series
-David Tyree’s catch in Super Bowl XLII
-Zidane’s headbutt in the ‘06 World Cup
-The Music City Miracle
-Lebron’s block on Iguodala in the 2016 NBA Finals Game 7

Also, this letter written by Brandon Bostick. It's pretty touching -
www.si.com/2015/02/26/brandon-bostick-nfc-championship-game-onside-kick
Matthew Sawczyn I’m a Packers fan myself and that title game loss still sticks with me. I wasn’t happy with what Bostick did, but he isn’t the biggest reason the Packers collapsed. I feel bad though that his name is infamous with us Packers fans, he was just some bench player who tried to step up
The refs made the real error in game 1 of the finals.
Barcelona vs Psg 6-1 plz
A lot of people forget the 1st momentum-changing play of the game.
After preventing Reggie Bush from making it to his own 15 on the opening kickoff, Texas held USC's offense to a three-and-out. Both of those were supposedly unthinkable. Texas had done exactly what they wanted to do to open the game.
On the ensuing punt, Texas's return man advanced about five yards, then fumbled. USC took over and scored the first points of the game.
truth is: this game was expected for a whole year, we had a hope it would be great, but both teams delivered more than we expected.
All time classic
One of the greatest games I’ve ever watched! Sister even went to UT at the time. Said all classes got canceled for a week, and everyone just partied😂
I'm a buckeye fan....but that was the best game ive seen....the build up, the lead in....the USC dynasty.....all NFL caliber players....and 2 schools with rich football histories....AND THEN THAT GAME...at the *ROSE BOWL*
Steve Gleason's punt block in the Super Dome in the first game back after Hurricane Katrina deserves a deep rewind.
Some say Vince's knee is still down to this day...
To be fair, Texas would have had 1st and 10 at the 11. And Texas rushed the extra point trying to prevent a review and missed the kick.
They may very well ha e scored anyway, but let’s be honest, even with the faulty review system, you cannot blow that obvious a call on the field and in the booth and not have people calling the officiating out.
@@matthewwallack601 there not mach you can do they did not have Booth review at that time
Jonathan Perrin I’m aware the review system was faulty. So are most people-now. I’d still argue that call was too obvious not to get on the field, and too important not to be properly reviewed, faulty system or otherwise. Like it or not, the existence of a review system creates a level of expectation of perfection that can’t be expected when review isn’t in use. When that fails, even if for understandable reasons, it’s sensible to point to the flaws in such a system: In this case, an obvious blown call and the lack of a review.
@@matthewwallack601 I'm mean they never had reviews at that time if the referee not see it the play keeps going
LenDale White, the most forgotten man of that entire USC team. He was a monster.
I remember prior to this game everyone was talking about how fast and elusive bush was....all i could think about was "they're preparing for HIM..not the other guy..." and he was a FORCE this game. As a texas fan I got nervous every time he touched the ball. Texas was so fast...but white was just straight tough...a true threat. Any other team he could've been the star on but he was behind reggie bush lol
White made me nervous as all hell, precisely because he was a power back. Grew up on Earl Campbell highlights and games, and my dad regaling me stories.
2010 Stanley Cup, Patrick Kane Stanley Cup Winning goal in overtime. First Cup for the Blackhawks since 1961, their opponent was the Flyers who got into the postseason on the last day of the season in a shootout against the Rangers. Then came back down 3-0 in the series and in game 7 in the second round against the Bruins, and used their 2nd and 3rd string goalies to get there.
Plus Kane was the only person who saw the puck go in.
Haven't seen the goal since it happened and refuse to watch it ever again... unless they make this video.
Seeing this as a Texas fan made me happy AND CFB season around the corner!! HOOK ‘EM!
I remember this game like it was yesterday. Many people thought it was the greatest college football game ever played, but it sure didn't feel like it if you were a USC fan. :-/
Big facts man
i was a big fan back then, but even i wouldn't have called them the greatest team of all time. greatest offense maybe, but there defense was suspect at best. if the '07 defense was on that team that would've been the greatest team of all time. still can't believe he just ran the ball up the gut on 4th and 2. so obvious texas was gonna sell out to stop the run up the middle. gotta go play action there with USC's unstoppable passing game, they probably would've housed it.
@@oldfrend facts
Yeah, but USC later had to vacate the loss in this game.
Vince Young single handedly beat the two other Heisman candidates to win the National Championship. Possibly the greatest collegiate football player of all time.
My buddy and I sat in the USC end zone 15 rows up behind the goal post amongst all the USC fans. On 4th and 5 my buddy says we got this. I was uneasy. Then VY took it to the corner. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Amazing talent all over the field that night. Lendale White and Vince Young were unstoppable that night.
Greatest College Football ever played.

It's technically correct, though haha.
Btw he's only 49. Dude looks like he's 70.
As a long time Notre Dame fan this video brings a smile to my face!
That game that year with usc and Irish I thought that was the best game I saw. until I saw this game
"He's going for the cornerrrr!! He's got it!"
Love that call.
followed by the announcer's silence and just utter uproar of deafening applause...the perfect game
At the end of the day, USC failed to prevent Young from going 9 yards into the endzone.
TheOlympicHero1 tbh if officials didn’t miss calls and Pete Carroll wasn’t being an idiot on 4th down USC would have won. USC’s players won the game. Their coach and bad officiating cost them the game.
Native BeastMode At the end of the day none of this even mattered because USC was cheating and had all of their accomplishments wiped away
s3y3n3 OU isn't a team who should be talking about others when it comes to cheating, you just got out easy in the past, remember Hart Lee Dykes?
s3y3n3 lol you think this game didn’t matter? This one game made the Titans take Vince Young over Leinart. This game is still referred as the greatest game in history, despite it never officially happening, so to say this game didn’t matter is completely asinine.
Native BeastMode tbh they still lost the game. The players lost the game. Otherwise, they have a ring on their finger(maybe they do, with all the cheating and stuff). USC didnt win the game. They gave themselves a chance. A chance that ultimately, they blew. No matter what they mightve been carrying to have that chance
One of the greatest games ever played. I don't think I ever witnessed a better NC game nor do I think I ever will.
It was a great birthday game for me and what an extra present for me
IN- VINCIBLE.
…..and he was. What a dynamic dominating player. The rest of the team was pretty damn good as well.
I screamed so hard when Vince ran for that winning touchdown.
The Reggie bush fumble was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Might have cost them a title.
it was smart but senior Michael huff and junior aaron ross put their hands on him and in the way so well in the knick of time that it didn't work like bush planned in his mind aka a non clean lateral...ross in particular reall has long arms and got in bushs way ..theres a reason ross won 2 super bowls as the giants 2nd main starting cb and huff was solid in the nfl becoming a pro bowler..their instincts in those moments make them stand out..glad it was them and not others
Vince Young was just incredible in this game
"Won the right to vacate 14 wins"
*proceeds to laugh my way into a coughing fit*
They missed the fact on the 4th and 2, Carroll pulled Reggie Bush which allowed Texas focused solely on white
dumbest move in fball history. Does he have no concept of deception
@xRyalsx true giving the ball to white was the right call. I don't deny that. But by not having Bush on field as well allowed the the defense to solely focus on stopping white, instead having to worry about which RB could it go to
That wasn't dumb. White was roasting Texas that night.
xRyalsx everyone knows White should get the ball. That’s not what’s controversial. What’s controversial is Bush being on the sidelines. They should either have had 1) Bush lined up wide or in the slot as a WR, 2) had White and Bush in Split Backs or more likely Offset Split Backs, 3) had White line up as the blocker in an I or Offset-I with Bush as the tailback and then give it to White
the same bush who saved them vs notre dame lol ...the senoir
Vince Young delivers one of the best championship game performances in the history of sports...and this video gives more time to replay controversies on laterals. !
True, and there was a bad call that went in USC's favor, too. With Texas up 16-7, Leinart threw an interception and the refs gave it back to SC, and that wasn't reviewed either. They got a field goal on the drive.
It's typical: Texas won, so their victory has to be diminished however possible. Because they don't *deserve* to win. Remember Leinart's infamous postgame interview where he said he thought California was the better team? What a sore, butthurt loser.
The best college football game to ever be played.
Greatest college game I have ever seen
This is literally the best bowl game I've ever witnessed
Same here
Boise State vs OU my guy
The best national title games ever and it was my birthday that day as well. January 4th is my birthday and I turned 20 that day
I’ve never cheered for a team that wasn’t mine as hard as I cheered for Texas that day. USC was the most hatable team I’ve ever watched.
Greatest College Football Game. Period.
Easily, Top 5 Football Games Ever.
Were you around for the 1984 Orange Bowl? Every bit as good as this one.
This is one of those cultural moments that you never forget where you were when you saw this game. Say ‘UT vs USC’ to any football fan born after ‘95 and you’ll get some version of “oh I was at so and so’s house watching that game”

I know you probably won’t because nobody cares about the White Sox but could you do Posednik’s walk off in game 2 of the 2005 WS?
Also those NCAA games were freaking amazing too
How about Appalachian State over Michigan on the blocked field goal?
Overrated game. First game of the year, Michigan was ranked way too high, and App State was coming off 2 straight FCS championships -- obviously the talent level is lower but they were a team that knew how to win.
no I think we’re good on that front #GoBlue
Not much to “rewind” on there
Why was Michigan ranked way too high? Michigan was 11-2 the previous year and finished in the top 10. Most of their team returned the next year.
math You can’t be serious? An FCS team beat a highly ranked Big Ten team...at their home stadium. This is arguably the greatest upset in CFB of all time.

Hollywood should produce a movie about this legendary game. Truly lived up to the hype
If you do this game, You have to do OSU vs Miami from 2002...... And don't forget the blatant missed holding call AND catch in bounds with 2:16 left in the 4th that would have given OSU a first down with 2:16 to play and Miami with no timeouts. ( in other words, it would have all but ended the game in regulation).
Don't let the Miami fans know.
That game was just so nutty, and so was Ohio State’s season. A rewind must be done.
Whenever you guys say welcome to a moment in history I literally get goosebumps every single time
Do Super Bowl XXXIV, the 1-yard short play
As the years roll by this game is taking its place as the greatest college ever saw, either regular season or bowls. It will probably remain that way for decades and even long after I'm gone.
You forget: Texas' defense had the right to refuse the penalty and retain possession after the fumble recovery.
Very very true
That's not how the rule works. If replay had shown it was a forward lateral, then the result of the lateral is incomplete, which can't be recovered by the defense. So the only options were: incomplete and ball dead at the point of the forward lateral, or a penalty on USC for a forward lateral. But no Texas recovery.
I remember watching it and thinking that it was in slow motion. I will always remember this moment.
Vince Young is among the best if not the best college QB of all time only Tim Tebow can rival him.
I'd say Tommie Frazier is the GOAT but VY is easily 1B.
Although I knew I was watching a "live" broadcast, that TD looked like a slow-motion replay. Young was so big that it didn't look like he was running fast at all. But he was, and him beating those defenders to that corner of the end zone was no-contest.
His haircut is pretty good
Yea just don't add a hitler stache and it is -pretty good-
I was about 12 and my dad was watching football, big time football fans. When Vince scored my dad grabbed my arm and pulled me outside and started holding me and yelling in the middle of the road at night because my newborn sister was asleep. He called in sick next day and me and him celebrated all day. Ill never forget it.
I would argue that the 2002 championship (OSU-miami) gives this game a pretty good challenge for the best college football championships ever
2007 Fiesta Bowl is up there too
The 02 championship was awesome too. I think I give the edge to the 06 game because both teams had a lot of star power. The 02 Ohio state team was very good but didnt have very many nationally known players.
That game was really good for drama at the end, but the 06 Rose Bowl was right up there, with a lot more hype and star power behind it. Both teams started 1 and 2, and ended that way. Though me being a Texas fan clearly makes me extremely biased.
the holding penalty not being called ruins it
still to this day the greatest football game college or pro i ever seen
Do the ending, Game 7 2001 World Series
When Keith Jackson called a game, magical things happened on that field. Especially the Rose Bowl.
I know it was recent but rewind the 28-3 choke by the falcons
I know it was recent, but rewind Stefon Digg's catch to beat the 'aints.
I was watching this live on TV back when this game happened. It was awesome
Vince Young should’ve won the Heisman that year too #hookem
I’ve said this every year for the past 5 years, but don’t sleep on the horns this year...
It really could've gone to either Bush or Young and no one would've been mad. Bush finished 5th in voting the year before, so I think to some extent the voters were rewarding him for the back to back great years.
That’s cute
I'm a 27 year old Alabama fan since I can remember. I'm from Alabama and have lived here most of my life. This is one of my favorite games I've ever watched.

Gavin Warner no I think we’re good on that front #GoBlue
Benjamin Blanchard-Saiger I’m a Wolverine fan myself, I kind of just want to hear someone talk about my team. Haha
Naw, we need Trey Burke’s Sweet 16 shot vs Kansas
At this moment in history, I was the happiest kid in the world. And for that I will thank you forever, Vince Young.
Do a rewind on Michigan vs Notre Dame in their under the lights game
Adam Schroeder 2014 or 2018?
A game I will never forget
Please do a rewind for Tiger Wood's chip-in for birdie at the 16th hole of the 2005 Masters.
I second this one, it sounds like it would be very interesting.
Fox Cutter Imagine that the fans on hole 16 that day saw a hole in one and maybe the most iconic shot in golf history. On Back to back groups.
I was at this game (and I'm a Texas fan). When Vince crossed the goal line, my brain just stopped. I couldn't comprehend what was happening. I just kept repeating, "Oh my god!" over and over again. (I legit thought that Quinn Ewers was about to make the best play in Longhorn history since this one during this year's 2024 Sugar Bowl, at which I was also present, but alas....)
Jon Bois
Greatest game ever. Vince Young went down in history.
Notre Dame and Brady Quinn really should have won that game
It was a true miracle for SC. If Leinart hadn't fumbled, or that fumble hadn't gone out of bounds, the Bush Push wouldn't even have happened
These rewinders are awesome
I'd love to see a deep rewind of David Ortiz 2013 grand slam in the ALCS
Nah buddy more like the best championship ever played.. I mean I was living in a 3rd world country and everyone knew about this game
I've got chills watching this.
I was in HS at peak college football fandom. (My future college had no team). I was a Texas fan and had been since the Simms kid. Being high watching this put me right back into high school. It was peak fandom for me because all my other favorite teams didnt win in last second victory like this.
