did you ever see the 'facemask' play on replay? I did not.....

Texas consistently gets extremely lucky calls (e.g., Kansas a couple of years ago, vs A&M this year, the Rose Bowl, etc.). The false TD forever taints this win.

However, the facemask was there.

Of course, their DBs got away with murder all night. The spearing and other cheap shots were near criminal and should have resulted in player ejections.

On the other hand, I like it when Florida State does the same thing.

It would have been 1st and goal. Texas was moving the ball at will at that time so it's not like it was doubtful they would score.

The score also rushed the extra point and gave USC time enough to get a field goal. That is a 4 point swing.

If USC had held Texas to a field goal then it would have used up the clock and USC would not have had enough time to get a field goal right before the half.

Either way, it works out the same.

I am a FSU fan-- I lost the other night, but tonight I won...my team won. I just hope FSU builds back up and wins the damn national championship games.

Entrepreneur ... you stated :

and ...

Of course, their DBs got away with murder all night. The spearing and other cheap shots were near criminal and should have resulted in player ejections

So I took a look at your profile where you say ...

Did I mention I'm a Texas Aggie?

Tells me everything I need to know about you and about your opinion concerning the Longhorn's victory
