I am Surprised Texas beat USC!

By: Jason Cunningham (1/5/2005)

  I did not expect Texas University to beat the University of Southern California. Texas quarterback Vince Young proved me wrong twice this season. Even after defeating the Ohio State University, I questioned whether Texas could win the National Championship at the Rose Bowl.

 Everyone assumed the USC would make it to their third straight National Championship Game. The only question would be who were they going to host. I thought it would the Ohio State University, until they lost to Texas. Penn State did not avoid a devastating loss to Michigan. Texas, a team without their great running back, Cedric Benson, who was draft in 2005 Draft, still managed to get to big game. Texas was victorious in every game.

 Last night, Vince Young played like a Greek god. He was a better leader on the field than his counterpart, USC's quarterback Matt Leinart. It was a surprise that Texas won over USC 41-38, but they deserved to be victorious. They made less mistakes than USC, and executed better on the offensive and defensive fronts. The country now knows that Texas is better than USC. If they played today, I think Texas would win again.
