2005 Texas

Ok, last night's opening game (LSU 45, Mississippi State 0) wasn't very good, but here's some good news. I'm going to be on ESPN Radio tomorrow (Saturday) at 9:20 a.m. (ET) during the Coast-to-Coast segment. It's one of the College GameDay shows that primarily previews games. I've been told they will mention the book.

So back to last night. Considering how lopsided the game was, here's a photo from one of the best college football games ever, the perhaps the least controversial championships, the 2006 Rose Bowl. Quarterback Vince Young set a Rose Bowl record with 467 yards of total offense by passing for 267 yards and running for 200 more, including the game-winning 8-yard touchdown on fourth down with 19 seconds remaining. The 41-38 victory made Texas the clear consensus national champion. Photo courtesy of the Tournament of Roses archives.
