I am a TEXAS EX and have 4 degrees from the place. I was cheerleader for the years Earl Campbell was running up and down the field...burnt ORANGE through and through.... To be present at this game will always be a cherished moment in my life. Our crowd was incredible for every play. It's like I had interviewed each and every one of them.... USC was awesome...didn't think we'd ever stop them, until we did. VINCE was (and always will be) our HERO....he did us PROUD!!! Hook'EM Horns!!!
If vince would've have kept his ass at texas one more year we beat florida in the fiesta bowl he wins the heisman and would've been the #1 pick in the draft. And he would never have to play for jeff fisher at all
Jakeob Perry He left early because the Texans had the 1st pick and he wanted to play professionally in his hometown. He did state that he would've stayed another yr had he known the Texans wouldn't have picked him.
Absolutely the greatest day of my LIFE....was with the LOVE of my LIFE and my LONGHORN fans could not have been better....truly a wonderful day....so blessed to have been there and witness this in person..... Hook 'EM Horns ! ! !
Who cares about if they made it in the NFL. These were some of the greatest college players of all time. That fact can never be taken away from any of those players. Best high profile national championship game ever....period...
All those stars - V. Young, Leinart, R. Bush, D. Jarrett, Lendale White, Michael Huff, and who has been the best in the NFL from that game?? A freshman at Texas named Jamaal Charles. Funny how college is not indication of success on the next level.
Bush did win a Super Bowl. I do think that VY was mismanaged by Tennessee. Could have been a great player. Could have at least had as good of a career as Michael Vick.
Vinc edancing and wade winning man what a great year to watch these two play their asses off in the biggest games just wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant believe how far down hill things have gone for vince. i wouldve thought this game would jump start his nfl career..... it was the damn madden curse -_-
The only thing I never see regarding USC burning the last timeout on the 2 point conversion. They had 12 men on the field, and couldn't get the last man off in time before the ready, so they had to burn it or take the penalty. It was bad for them to be in that position on such a crucial play, but they should call the timeout with 12 men on the field.
Have USC just punted the ball on fourth and two then my Texas Longhorns would have started from their own 10 yard line and that would have put more pressure on our offense and less pressure on USC’s defense.
Yes, this was the greatest game ever.
17 years ago & this still holds the top spot as the greatest national championship game ever!!
Right, It had the most on the line
damn that old sportscenter intro was dope

Hook'EM Horns!!!
That game was the reason why the Heisman should be given after the National Championship. VY was the best player that year hands down
He was,... The Best College Player of that year!
Greatest ever
If vince would've have kept his ass at texas one more year we beat florida in the fiesta bowl he wins the heisman and would've been the #1 pick in the draft. And he would never have to play for jeff fisher at all
Jakeob Peery his family needed money for themselves imo
Jakeob Perry He left early because the Texans had the 1st pick and he wanted to play professionally in his hometown. He did state that he would've stayed another yr had he known the Texans wouldn't have picked him.
Facts
Had no reason to stay had accomplished everything already.. but he did say if he didn't get drafted by Houston he would of stayed..
His stock was never higher. If he had stayed, he could have hurt his draft position ala Leinsrt
Mack Brown is pure class.
Absolutely the greatest day of my LIFE....was with the LOVE of my LIFE and my LONGHORN fans could not have been better....truly a wonderful day....so blessed to have been there and witness this in person.....
Hook 'EM Horns ! ! !
Easily the greatest game ever. Not a fan of either team, but damn.. National Championship hasn't been the same since.
This game was one for the ages and will be talked about for decades and more. Greatest game ever in college football. Hook em'!
Greatest College player of all time
What about Roger Staubach?
It was very gratifying to see USC lose
still the greatest championship game EVER PLAYED IN ALL OF SPORTS. Clemson vs Bama IMO is the 2nd best CFB championship game in my lifetime

John Huey wow u just figured that out? You're a genius
Greatest game ever!
I remember watching this episode of sports center on 01-05-2006
This team here is absolutely the best team UT ever had.
When corso had good health its sad to see him today.
Mason Lane Yeah, dude was sharp
When ESPN was ESPN. The good ole' days.
Vince could have played one more year, and would have brought on a Heisman.
UsafRich08 and a 'ship😣
Vinc edancing and wade winning man what a great year to watch these two play their asses off in the biggest games just wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asmosis Jones mavs should've won. 😆😣
arguably the best college football game ever
Cant believe how far down hill things have gone for vince. i wouldve thought this game would jump start his nfl career..... it was the damn madden curse -_-

Andrew Higgins still could of just let them score I'm saving the timeout
The reporter at 8:40 looks like Jerry Sandusky.
