2006 Rose Bowl: Texas 41, USC 38 In a game you wanted to just go on forever, Texas' defense stopped USC when it had to, and Texas quarterback Vince Young couldn't be stopped. This one had it all: hype, star power, a combined 53-game winning streak between the teams and drama at every turn. The talk before the game centered around USC's being perhaps the greatest team in College Football history. But the Trojans, gunning for an unprecedented third straight national championship, weren't even the best team on the field that Jan. 4 night in Pasadena. Young accounted for 467 yards of total offense in rallying the Longhorns from 12 points down in the fourth quarter. Texas' defense paved the way for Young to become the hero with a clutch stand on fourth-and-2. USC coach Pete Carroll elected to go for it from the Texas 45-yard line with 2:13 to play and leading 38-33. But LenDale White was stopped inches short of the marker, leaving Young with just enough time to work his magic. Four players from that game -- Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Michael Huff and Young -- were selected among the top 10 picks of the draft later that year. And even though only two seasons have passed since that memorable night in the "Granddaddy of Them All," it's a game that has already attained legendary status as not only the best BCS bowl game ever played, but the best college football game ever played … period.
