Okay - who's got who here?

My take:  USC is ripe for the picking here.  That said, I still think they beat Texas in a close game.

My score:

USC - 38

Texas - 30


Bush racks up 250-plus all-purpose yards.  Leinart throws 3 td's.

Vince Young has the kind of night that will compel him to enter the draft.  3 passing td's at least.

I've lost any grasp on this game or caring about the outcome after last night's marathon.

I am going to go ahead and say that Texas will win, or like Notre Dame, outplay USC but lose for some freak reason.

I was told last night the over/under was 70 -- is that true?

Like lastnights game, I think this one will be closer than what people are speculating. Texas's defense isn't that bad and they might be able to slow Bush down.

USC 35
Texas 27

i love USC tonight, the final game for Bush, Leinhart, White, i think they put up 40+
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

My prediction is that the game doesn't live up to its billing.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

I think Brent Musburger put the over under at 130.

I stayed away from most of the ESPN coverage since it was getting to the point of sickening.  They're acting as if Texas isn't even going to show up.  2001 Miami would have killed this USC team...

I usually get sick of the "no respect" angle that a lot of teams take these days. But Texas has a legit beef. ESPN was running polls about USC vs. the all time great teams and made no mention of Texas at all.

I am rooting for Texas, obviously.

Texas - 41
USC - 37

NGM

Texas - 55
USC - 31

I like Will Ferrel but I really hate USC.  Therefore, based upon logic, I believe Texas will win.

QB Eagles

16-10 Texas winning at the half. The six point difference comes from a Texas touchdown that shouldn't have counted.

QB Eagles

Well, Texas wins. 41-38. All Vince Young really.

eh..close enough  ;D

Things just got interesting for the NFL Draft.  Yeah, he says he's staying, but he now has nothing left to prove other than maybe working on his passing skills.  If he leaves, his hometown of Houston has the number 1 pick......maybe a trade of David Carr, allowing Bush to fall for the Jets?  hmmm.....
