Side note, I am pretty sure they also covered every game that year except aggy. And the money line in the Rose Bowl was the bet of the decade. Betting on Vince Young always paid.

They also did not cover vs Okie st.  I believe those were the only 2. 

Random memory most never talk about... KU game was supposed to be revenge game for KU because what happened in 04. If i recall correctly the game before it ran over so the UT game was shown "in progress". I was in LV so maybe it was different for us West Coasters. Anyway game was 21-0 in like the first 10 minutes. By the time the game was "on" it was already well in hand. That is the type of firepower that team was capable of.

Who’s still in the nfl from that rose bowl game?

I can think of Charles and Robinson

Robison i believe retired this year.. Mccoy and Orakpo are the first that come to mind

Jamaal is not in the league, Robinson was cut.

That D was carried by 5 NFL DBs, one of the greatest secondaries in CFB history, maybe 2nd best to Miami's.  The LBs could have been better had UT retained Garnet Smith and Michael Williams a  DE/LB with freakish ability.

Jamaal's back. Jags picked him up.

I think Charles made the best play that entire season against Ohio State, when he fell down, got up, hurtled some Ohio State player, and tackled A.J. Hawk before Hawk could score a TD.  That turned out to be huge.

Pretty sure that was Ramonce

Office a little dusty this AM.  I remember every game.  I was at most of them.  I remember USC...my pregnant wife screaming and jumping up and down on the bed.  Me, having my ENTIRE bottom lip lined with Copenhagen.  Like a civil war infantry soldier with a flint/breech loader, engulfed with the fog of war, who mistakenly who loads cartridge on top of cartridge on top of cartridge out of habit and fear.....I kept packing my bottom lip until I looked like I had been attacked by bees!

It was amazing how that team was generally considered trash compared to USC for that entire year until the final seconds of the final game. I am glad justice was finally served.

I saw some ESPN YouTube video where machines put that team as the greatest of the BCS era, all I have to say is that re: Miami 2001 is that they are #2 and that has nothing to do with their NFL talent.

Unlike 2005 Texas, Miami never really got tested. I think 2005 Texas would have made just of short work out of 2001 Virginia Tech and 2001 Nebraska.  Would 2001 Miami have beaten a team like 2005 Ohio State or 2005 USC? We don't know since they never played a team like that, they just beat up on a bunch of mediocrities.

Pretty sure they need a miraculous Ed Reed strip and return of his own teammate in order to escape a very mediocre Boston College team that year.

Joel Klatt just got a headache again, from us watching this video.

Klatt's a bitch.

His newfound Stockholm Syndrome is suprising.

Has there ever been a more lopsided conference championship game ever? B1G has had some lopsided contests, but damn. 70-3? I mean, we could have scored 100+ that game.

I wonder if aggy treated that like the Clemson / Bama covers this year

No, I believe it's the largest margin of victory in postseason history

That team was so fast. They made fast people look not fast. I was at the Kansas game. Texas was bound and determined to show everyone that Vince could pass downfield to start the game. It got ugly quick, but would have been a lot worse if they wouldn’t have done that.

Texas stopped playing in the second half. 100 plus points would have been easy.

Outside of athletic ability and being great football players, that team had guts, a very wide nasty streak and more desire than pretty much any Texas team before or after.

That was a great football team.   I don't know if there is another team from any year, that could beat them in a best of 7.

Best team I've ever seen. Just freakishly good everywhere you look.

That offensive line was stacked as well. I think everyone of the starters went into the league, possibly the entire two deep. I may be mistaken though.

Not sure about Will Allen. The rest of them did though.

Living through 2005 and watching this team in real time was an absolute joy.  I remember telling my bud, "We will never be this good again.  This won't be our last championship, but we will never be this good again."

in your estimation, name the top 2 defenses VY faced 2003-2005.

Number 1 is easily 2005 Ohio St. That team was damn good., That game was one of my favorite games ever.

one thing that always boggles my mind is that if you start with the final play of the 1st half of the OK State game through the Baylor game til halftime of the KU game, Texas scored 152 unanswered points (38, 62, 52).    Not to mention another 56 unanswered  point run against Colorado in a 19 minute stretch of the 2nd and 3rd quarters...Texas had 70 with over half of the 3rd quarter remaining
