USC held a 7-3 lead in its BCS title game against Texas when Longhorns quarterback Vince Young seemed to touch his knee down before throwing an option pitch that went for a touchdown. The play was screaming for a replay review, but on college football’s biggest stage of the season, the replay-review system malfunctioned, depriving officials of the right play to review. The illegal touchdown stood, setting up Young’s final scrapbook moment — fourth-and-five from the Trojans’ eight, an obvious passing situation. USC plays it that way, looking for a pass that never comes, as Young pulls the ball down and sprints for the pylon for the winning score. Texas fans and the national media immediately declared Young “unstoppable,” but here we saw it differently. Here we are aware of the truth. Here we know that twice in that big game, Young was nothing but awfully lucky.
What a bunch of morons. Seriously.

The Pac-10 would soon get their revenge when Oregon gave OU the screwjob last season on a kickoff return at the end of the game.
To the pac-10: quit your bitchin. you guys lost fair and square.
Comment by Charles July 7, 2007 @ 2:22 pmUSC lost because their defense could not hold a two touchdown lead with 6 minutes left. Not because of any replay. Carrol got outcoached and Leinart got outplayed.
