Original Video: • #1 USC vs #2 Texas | 2...
That Vince Young TD and celebration with the confetti is one of the images of college football. It's part of history
I was at both the Texas v Michagan and Texas v USC Rose Bowl games for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. This game was crazy, there was so much talent on both these teams that some future NFL players never made it on the field for this game. The vast majority of the players on the field eventually ended up in the NFL. 35 from USC, 27 from Texas-appeared in at least one NFL regular season game, while seven coaches went on to coach in the professional ranks. Fourteen players went on to be selected in the first round, and another 24 were picked in the second and third rounds.
Peasant numbers compared to the SEC
@@harrywingate252 only compared to a couple SEC teams. You think Kentucky and Missouri are sending that many to the NFL?
@@harrywingate252 yeah and half of them just get drafted or signed because of school affiliation n wash out after a year.
@@harrywingate252 whatever you say Harold.
Folks forgot that kick by mangum to win against Michigan the year prior. Two great Texas years!
I was at crystal beach high island texas at a friends beach cabin watching this game. I’ll never forget the feeling when they knocked off what was an extremely dominant dynasty in usc and Pete carrol.Feel so good feeling if you know what I mean. Man that was the best game ever played period.
2017 Rose Bowl UGA vs Oklahoma’s a great game that comes to mind.
If you do watch, watch Harris Highlights video he did your Boise State vs Oklahoma one
Also, USC was on a 34 game winning streak that spanned 3 years. And Texas beat them in this game. That’s why this game was so big
2013 national championship between Auburn and Florida State. Probably the 2nd best BCS title game (and the last before the playoff) behind this one. Auburn was the team of destiny pulling off a few miracle wins just to get there and FSU was a juggernaut, blowing everyone they played that year off the field.
Ended up being a fantastic game with a crazy 4th quarter. Check it out!
i'd rather not i dont wanna go through that trama again lol
The announcer was a man named Keith Jackson. He was a legendary figure in American sports broadcasting, especially college football.
Not only did he have the perfect voice/cadence/accent for the culture of college football, but he was especially gifted with turns of phrase when he called games.
I have many fond memories, listening to his description of the on-field action. Ask any American football fan over the age of 45 or 50 about Keith Jackson. I guarantee the first reaction will be a nostalgic smile.
He was the voice of college football for decades, and when he called a game, everyone knew that game was the biggest game of the week. Many expressions that are used today, began with him.
I'm pretty sure this was the last game he called too if I remember correctly
It was.
@@12hairyjohn hell of a game to go out on!
@@zacharyliles8657 That it was!
One of the things that made this game even sweeter for Texas fans was the absolutely unbelievalble way a lot of the sports media press, especially ESPN, treated the teams before the game. They acted like it was a given that USC was going to win. ESPN even did a series of computered generated matchups between USC and the greatest college teams of the past. It was just crazy. Yes, USC was a great team, but TEXAS was also a great team and deserving of respect. This was the greatest college game I have ever se3n. The talent on the field that day was insane.
You just saw the 06 rose bowl now you must watch the 18 rose bowl
Great game! Another one you might want to check out is the 2017 Rose Bowl, Georgia vs Oklahoma-I was at it, widely considered one of the best games of all time!
It's was a great game but it broke my heart lol Boomer
For real! Ive watched the highlights to this game over and over for years!
Alabama-Auburn 2013
This is one of the best endings to a game ever
I just commented that. He'll love it
My husband and son are Texas alumni. This game was crazy to watch (on TV) with them because they got so emotional throughout! The Texas quarterback is one of the players who went on to the NFL. 🤘🏈👍
Texas truly are the Dallas Cowboys of College Football 😅😅😅
So good to watch USC, that's my team. I also love UCLA, both Southern California. When they play each other I always go with USC. The crosstown antics before a game are usually priceless. Love the Rose Bowl, it's a classic.
Nothing important here, just my own memories. Thanks!
Lsu- Texas A&M 2018
one of the most high scoring most overtime games there is
You should watch the football life documentary of this 2006 rose bowl game. It would give you more context about this game
OMG bro! Texas Grammy here! Thanks so much for this. Both are great teams but Texas made them pay for it this game. Great players on both teams that year. I saw you posted while on the way to the grocery store. Made my son do the shopping. 😂 I just had to watch this! Subscribe to his channel everyone! Hit the like button! So we can enjoy more great reactions while watching the best games ever. Oh I'm so happy after watching this. Made my day! Hook em Horns!!!!!
2021 Texas v OU (Red River Rivalry). Crazy game!
still think seeing u react to lsu vs texas a&m 2018 would be fun. game goes crazy. very unusual scoring game. if u react to highlights of it try not to look at thumbnails, they give spoilers.
You should watch the USC vs Penn State rose bowl in 2017
The best championship game ever. Go longhorns!
I'm an OU fan and this is still one of my favorite games to go back and watch. Vince was the man.
I was 10 when this game was played and it's the first college football game I can remember watching specifically. And I hardly understood football at the time... I was alone channel surfing and stopped on that game because of how loud the crowd was including the commentators....Changed my life that night lol
I was a huge USC fan when I was a kid, and this was the first football game I ever cried at the end ot.
I was at that game. Absolutely incredible.
If it’s available where you’re at there is a documentary on USC called “Trojan War”. It’s a 30 for 30 film that explains USC’s dynasty through the early 2000s and gives good context to this game and why it’s one of the greatest of all time
Bro I remember seeing this game when I was a kid. Even as a kid I was like this game is crazy!
I miss Keith Jackson's voice. I never cared about announcers, but he was my childhood
Another addition to the legacy of this game was that it was the last game called by legendary announcer Keith Jackson before he retired. He really added to the atmosphere of this game.
The head coach of USC, Pete Carroll, has been the Seattle Seahawks coach since 2010 and is 1-1in Super Bowls as such .
The 2nd lateral that worked out for Texas was a designed play. Granted the pitch is optional and was supposed to happen a lot earlier if it was going to, but at least the 2nd guy knew it was a possibility. The first one that Bush from USC tossed and lost was him going rogue :)
bro this sounds insane but 62 players between usc and texas played in at least 1 nfl game bush, leinart, and young are the most famous names to me
Jamal Charles
That's crazy!!!!
The disrespect for Frostee Rucker. Man was put in the worst possible position ever and became the wrong end of a highlight of Vince Young beating him to the end zone and wound up having a solid 13 year NFL career.
@@BritishGuy22 and the Texas runningback Jamal Charles was a chiefs legend
The most successful future in the NFL was Pete Carroll, coach of USC.
This game was unreal to watch in real time
Man watching these old highlights reminds me how terrible the announcers were in the 00s.
Now you should check out the 2018 Rose Bowl. Another great.
You should check out the 2013 Iron Bowl if possible! #4 Auburn Tigers vs #1 Alabama Crimson Tide. Hands down the best college football game I've ever watched, and I'm not even a fan of either team.
2017 rosebowl for the actual best game ever
Another fact is the rose bowl incidentally is played in USC's stadium so this was technically a home game for USC. At the time I I might be off by a few, but USC had won 40 straight home games.
I recommend watching watching Georgia vs Oklahoma Rose Bowl. It was Georgia's first time in the college football playoffs(playoffs started in 2014). The winner would go on to play in the National Championship.
You gotta check out the Big Game, Stanford vs. Cal, from 1982. Not to spoil how it ends, but the final play is known simply as "The Play".
Greatest game ever played
2018 rose bowl was the best game I have ever seen
a very underrated but amazing game was the 2013 national championship fsu vs auburn
if your looking for one of the best upsets ever app state vs Michigan in 2007 was also an amazing game
I don’t know the number but a ton of these guys played in the NFL. Bush, Griffin, Charles, Leinert, Young, Jerrett, Steve Smith, White all come to mind and I wasn’t really paying attention. There are more..
Even before I watch this video Joe let me tell you that I nearly had a freakin heart attach watching this game back in 2006. My wife made me promise to stop watching football. Problem was that I am from Southern California and although I long ago moved away, my heart still beats for my beloved #1 UCLA and #2 USC sports programs. (Football, basketball, baseball, track & field) I have never watch a replay or highlights / lowlights of this game. The trauma is still there.. I hate the Univ of Texas football to this day!! And so does my son who watched that game with me at the age of 5.😈👿 Yes, the pain endures. I love the wonderful people in great state of Texas. 🤠🤠 A special thanks for all of your oil. ♥
Ohio st vs Michigan 2006. Biggest rivalry is college football and the were #1 and #2 in the last game of the regular season.
Jamal Charles from Texas and reggie Bush from USC both had good careers in the NFL as running backs.
Yea this was a few years before they switched to the college football playoff format.
2013 iron bowl was a great game
From my Alma Mater Texas Tech.
2008 Texas Tech vs Texas (Top 10 all time College Football Game)
2015 Texas Tech vs Texas (Featuring Patrick Mahomes)
2006 Insight Bowl Texas Tech Minnesota
2005 Texas Tech vs Oklahoma (Featuring Adrian Peterson NFL HOF)
2002 Texas Tech vs Texas
2002 Texas Tech vs Texas A&M (Both feature Kliff Kingsbury NFL Head Coach and Wes Welker NFL HOF)
Other must watch games
2007 Fiesta Bowl Oklahoma vs Boise State
1982 Cal Stanford (The Band Is On the Field)
2013 Iron Bowl (Auburm vs Alabama)
1990 Colorado vs Missouri
If you like College Football, you should also check out college basketball.
You should do a movie review after the Superbowl is over. The movie is about the struggling 1976 Philadelphia Eagles bringing in a young coach and having walk-on public tryouts. Great movie called Invincible.
PLEASEEEE react to the Tennessee @ Georgia game from 2016!! An instant Tennessee vs Georgia classic!!
Not a high scoring game, but a use of strong route defense's, and and stellar offense conversion plays to trick each other teams defense. This is how a talented Texas quarter back; with help of a very good offensive coaching staff. Beat a changed Michigan defenses, though great excusion, that "forever" defended against a all player use of offense. Before the championship In the 2005 Rose Bowl, it was a hallmark for a out of the pocket quarterback playing largely in the pros in the years to follow.
Leading up to the game, ESPN and almost every other sports network had basically already given USC the trophy, there were calling this team the greatest of all time. Nobody thought Texas was going to win. It was insane to watch, the game hasn’t started and everyone all over the country had said USC won the game. To me this is what made this so special, snoop dog and other celebrities were all on USC’s sideline celebrating. Hook’em
So many NFL players in this game. Like 15+ from each team.
Another good one is lamar Jackson highlights
Too many players in this game went to play in the NFL it'd be hard to name them.
Reggie Bush was one of the greatest college players in history. He averaged 8.7 yards per carry in this particular season. To put that in to perspective, league average at both the college and professional level is around 4.5 yards per carry. For whatever reason it didn't translate to the NFL but he had a decently long career with a couple of really good seasons.
He really posterized college teams with that amazing speed.
NFL defenses are a lot faster though...so the speed differential wasnt as big and some of his other flaws were more visible.
An awesome athlete and a lot of fun to watch for sure!
Reggie Bush was a great player, and had a few good years in the NFL. He won the Heisman Trophy, which is given to the best player each season. Some years after leaving college, it was found that he had done something against the rules in college athletics. He was forced to forfeit his Heisman, and his NFL career went downhill fast.
fun fact Vince Young was the last texas offensive player too get drafted in the first round
This USC team had won back to back national championships and had two Heisman trophy winners on the roster. They were the "Greatest Team of All Time" but Young was Superman.
Sadly Vince young never amounted to much in the NFL, but he was legendary in this game.
Joe : "Back in the day. Back in the day. Back in the day!"
WTF! I have underwear and T shirts older than that!
Also justin tucker came from Texas but this is a few years before he got there. Currently tucker is the greatest kicker in NFL history and he plays for the Baltimore ravens.
The QB Matt Leinart for USC would have been the number 1 draft pick by the 49ers if he left school after his junior year. He returned for his senior year to “win one more national championship” but lost this game. Instead he was picked 10th in 2006, 7 picks after the first QB taken, Vince Young, the QB for Texas in this game. Fun fact.
The UT running back is a future nfl hall of famer
You said at one point that it isn’t the highest scoring game. One thing that’s been happening the last few years in college football is an absolute explosion in scoring. Vince Young, the Texas QB in this game, was ahead of his time as a mobile dual threat QB that’s now become incredibly important.
man you gotta watch the full story leading up to this game to understand the historical significance
you need to check out the 2008 Texas Tech vs Texas game
I recommend you check out the usc upset to ucla 2006.
Best game in History? It was certainly right up there to be sure. The very definition of a 'ding-dong' battle. It really was ashamed both teams couldn't have won this one. They both deserved too.
Reggie Bush, the USC running back, was probably the biggest star in this game; obviously since this game was 17 years ago, his NFL career is done, but he's a big enough name to still be in commercials.
Vince Young, the Texas QB, was briefly a star, but not for long.
USC QB Matt Leinhart played in the NFL, but wasn't a star. He's now back in the college football world as a studio analyst for pre- and postgame shows.
Michael Huff, a safety for Texas, was also drafted highly in the following NFL draft, meaning four of the first ten picks in the 2006 NFL Draft played in this game.
Aaron Ross, Texas CB, was not drafted as highly as those four, but was a key part of the New York Giants' Super Bowl XLII and XLVI wins.
Texas safety Michael Griffin and running back Jamaal Charles were *not* drafted in 2006 as they were underclassmen, but after being drafted in 2007, both had long and fruitful NFL careers. Actually, upon further reflection, I think Charles, not Bush, was the biggest star in this game, and I completely forgot until looking at the game summary that he was even in it because most of the hype around Texas's offense _at the time_ centered around Vince Young.
Bro if only Vince had been drafted to a team whose coach actually liked him.
2013 Iron Bowl: Alabama vs Auburn… winner goes to the National Championship.. Historic rivalry!!
So many of these guys went to the NFL. Reggie Bush you probably heard of because he dated Kim Kardashian, but he had a good career with the New Orleans Saints.
USC was the better team, more complete, balanced, skilled, electrifying but they became complacent and careless once they went up and Texas made them pay. Really the story of the tortoise and the hare here. If this game was played 10 times USC would win 8 of them but they learned a hard lesson here. Overall, two all time great teams in the same season playing in the title game. Rarely does this happen in any sport.
And now they have Stinkin' Lincoln ( no lead is safe) Riley 🤣🤣🤣
Also Alabama vs Auburn 2013. The kick 6
ESPN ranked that USC team as the #1 college football team of all time. Due to recent wins and NFL prospects.
One major difference between NFL and college rules is that in the NFL, you need both feet in bounds to be a catch/interception. College you just need one foot.
Not the best game ever but most iconic finish of all time. Simply known as " the play". California v Stanford 1982. Look for a video that flushes it out a bit, the leadup and all.
Joe Starkey cemented his legendary status as broadcaster with this call!
The band is on the field!
Stanford's quarterback in that game is a legendary NFL player known for leading comebacks (John Elway).
The Game in 1982 features an outstanding comeback by Stanford to take the lead late...and then absolutely craziness in the last few seconds...culminating in one of the most bizarre endings to a football game ever seen.
A bit like watching Watford's insane penalty save direct to goal sequence in the playoffs.
Hey Joe! Hope you get a chance to watch the game tonight!
I'll be watching the Eagles game for sure but the Chiefs game is at a horrible time for me on a Sunday 😭
@@BritishGuy22 that’s fair 11:30 pm start time is rough the night before a work week.
@@BritishGuy22 Burrowhead my ass we going back to the super bowl!!!!
I did end up staying up hahah
@@BritishGuy22 hell yeah! You’ve earned your stripes as a UK fan! Eff! Them classless Bengals and their fans. We just beat a better team with our last 3 WR’s, Travis Kelce injured with back spasms and Mahomes on one leg!
There were lots of big-time prospects in this game, but most of them didn't find much success at the NFL level. The best player here in the pros ended up being Texas running back Jamaal Charles, who was an exciting and productive player for the Kansas City Chiefs. Some other players had modest success: Texas quarterback Vince Young had a couple of promising seasons in Tennessee, even leading them to the playoffs, but just couldn't figure out NFL defenses. Reggie Bush was picked second overall, and he was a good, versatile player, but the hype around him was as the next Barry Sanders and that never happened. He had his most successful seasons with Drew Brees in New Orleans and a couple of solid seasons in Detroit and Miami.
Think it's a good time to react to Football 101 Counter by weekly spiral channel.
Its a short 4min vid with a good visual of player assignments on a play. Very basic good place to start.
Enjoying you channel, your doing well mate 👍
Thanks Robert, I'll check it out, I appreciate the support!
1984 Boston College vs. Miami, do it
There was too many eventual pros that played in this game to name. Some are certified greatest college footballers of all time though, like Reggie Bush and Vince Young. Off the top of my head, I think Jamaal Charles (running back for Texas), Brian Orakpo (linebacker for Texas) or Clay Mathews (linebacker for USC) probably had the best careers in the NFL. Reggie Bush and Vince Young were both extremely hyped coming into the NFL but neither one quite reached the level of success they were expected to at the next level. Bush did end up having a pretty underrated career though.
USC was on a 34 game winning streak and got beat 👀 Nobody gave Texas a chance to win this game! Loaded teams on both sides as well with one of the best college players of all time Reggie Bush. This is the game that got me into college football as a kid! I recommend Michigan Vs App State (2007) for a future reaction!
Bush was a beast of an athlete...but I thought Lendale White was the better running back.
That USC offense was really spoiled for talent. Imagine having the Heisman winner NOT be the best running back on your team...they really were that good.
2013 Alabama vs Auburn
What’s up Joe!!
USC RB Reggie Bush 2nd pick 6 pro bowls 1 first team all pro
Texas QB Vince Young 3rd pick 2x pro bowl
Texas S Michael Huff 7th pick 1 2nd team all pro
USC QB Matt Leinart 10th pick 0 NFL awards
Those were the first rounders in NFL draft.
Next year had the much better crop.
If you want to see a pro college team, the greatest college football team ever was the 2001 Miami Hurricanes who produced 38 (17 first round) NFL draft picks, earned 43 pro bowl selections, 6 Super Bowl champions, only team with 4 future starting NFL RBs, the 4th string RB, Frank Gore, is now third all time in rushing yards in NFL with 16000.
They outscored opponents 512 to 117 and dominated every game they played in. They had arguably the two best safeties in NFL history on the same college team in Ed Reed (search him on TH-cam and you’ll never stop 😂) and Sean Taylor, who died tragically very young in a robbery gone wrong at his home while he read to his daughter.
Hyped for the Conference Championship games today?
Yes definitely! I'll watch the Eagles game live and then the Kansas game after work on Monday and upload the highlights!
Reggie Bush was a decent RB in NFL and I believe he’s in some Wendy’s commercials
Hook ‘em!!!
USC had 2 straight Heisman winners in QB Matt Leinart and RB Reggie Bush. Bush gave up his Heisman trophy because it was revealed that he received improper benefits to attend USC. I want to say they gave him a car and got an apartment for his mother to live in, but idk exactly what. He’s regarded as one of the greatest running backs in college football history.
USC did not pay Reggie Bush to play football.
USC did not give Bush’s family a home in exchange for their son playing football for the Trojans.
USC did not buy Reggie Bush a car or give him money to purchase a car.
No USC booster or patron ever gave Bush or his family any money or other financial benefits.
Lloyd Lake, the person who provided a home for the Bush’s and a used car for Reggie Bush, was not a booster or even a fan of USC.
Lloyd Lake was an ex-convict who had delusions of becoming a sports agent. When he left prison, he realized that a friend of his, Reggie Bush’s stepfather, LaMar Griffin, had a stepson, Reggie Bush, who was gaining fame playing college football.
Lake provided Griffin a home as well as other benefits in return for his stepson, Reggie Bush, signing with Lake’s fledgling sports agency when he decided to play in the NFL. This was taken from bleacher report.
This was the same year my BruWins beat suc and robbed em of a national title berth itwas priceless was so glad Texas won
In the 2000s USC dominated college football.
USC actually wound up having to forfeit this entire season retroactively. It was found Reggie Bush had been receiving large value gifts, which was against NCAA rules at the times. His Heisman trophy is now officially listed as vacated.
Also Pete Carrol the head coach of USC went on to have a successful NFL career. He's now the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and has a Super Bowl win. Should probably be two Super Bowl wins if not for one for one of the worst play calls in history.
Vince Young is the GREATEST QB to ever play CFB. IDC what anyone says!
Watch the 2006 Fiesta Bowl Boise State vs Oklahoma
Already done it in episode 1!
They were anointing 2005 USC BEFORE THE GAME EVEN WAS PLAYED and guess what happened? A bunch of gritty small town Texas boys beat them!!! 😂😂 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Day one of asking for you to react to dirt sprintcars and latemodels
USC was by far the best team in college that year.actually for about a 5 year run. They made some stupid mistakes and Texas capitalized
React to some of the biggest hits in the NFL.
