Texas wins the college football national championship 41-38 over USC as quarterback Vince Young scrambled in on 4th and 5 for his third rushing touchdown with 19 seconds left. Young was 30 of 40 passing for 270 yards but was even more dangerous running the ball for 202 yards on 21 carries. I don't think it would have been close if Texas coach Mack Brown had just let Young run another dozen times. At 6-5 and 233, but fast and elusive, it was obvious from early in the game that USC just could not bring Young down.
A very good game, but offense has gotten so far out ahead of defense (Texas had 572 yards in total offense and USC 570) that too many games come down to who gets the ball last. Also, the field was a little too slippery to be a great game. I wonder if they mowed the field too short, like the fairway on a golf course.
