the 4th down call was NOT stupid. He knew he could not stop Vince Young, and he shredded the Texas defense the whole 2nd half. Lets look at if he punts... Vince Young has 3 timeouts and 2:00 mins to get downfield to score. Does he do it.... yeah!! Ok USC gets the 1st down and gets to do the victory kneel and it is ballgame. The tethered on that one play and Texas won and won the National championship.

With 3 timeouts and 2:00 mins on the clock even if USC got the first down I think that would be far from over. USC would have to atleast get one more first down and let the clock run for that to happen.

I dont think going with lendale white was the wrong call IF you do decide to go for it. He is the short yardage back, and you wouldnt know it from watching ESPN but he is every bit as good as bush just not the highlight film star that reggie is. The reason, nittany, that you dont go for it there is because if you pin Texas deep then that would give your defense more field to work with and Texas may not have been able to score from an extra 30 yards out. Maybe those extra thirty yards would have taken 19 seconds to score from, time runs out, and USC wins. 4th and 2 punt the ball away. Any coach worth his weight would have done that. Carroll going for it there illustrated his ESPN inflated ego and Video Game mentality and it bit him in the A$$.

I don't have a problem with going to White, the mistake was not having Bush on the field. If I'm the one barking signals for UT defense and I see 2 TE's with White as the single back, I'm putting all 12 defenders in the box because I KNOW what play is coming. If Bush is at least on the field, there are now a lot more options the defense has to be ready for.

Hey did anybody see how classless Mr. Ballroom Dancer Matt Leinert acted right the game was over. He didn't give texas any credit at all. Quote "They didn't win it, we just lost it." That just pisses me off. Just like a USC F$#@*&. All they do is honor players that solict and have guns on them.
