The difference is we do have instant replay now and if it is going to be used in the game (sometimes it isn't used) it should apply to all. Instant replay is what got the Longhorns the ball which led to the phantom TD, remember? The ball was initially ruled out of bounds, then it was reversed and called a touch back. No disrespect to the Longhorns. Vince was amazing, but that TD should have been called back

Of course the TD should have been called back - and therefore the missed extra point would have been gone too. The way Texas was raming the ball down USC's throat at the time, they would surely have scored on the next few plays and probably would have nailed the extra point. So, very likely the bum call gave USC a one point advantage. However, it was of zero consequence, as Texas overcame a 12 point deficit to win the game.

Yeah, and if they would have applied instant replay on Kelson's interception of Leinart's pass, the Horns would have gotten the ball back and we can just keep on imagining what Vince would have done.... No disrespect to USC though.

Early TV overnight numbers have this as the highest-rated BCS game ever, and highest-rated college game since Penn State-Miami in 1987.

Rate was a 21 (with the top 10 Dallas market excluded), last years OU-USC game was a 14.
