I'd agree with you except the officials stopped the clock and made reviews of NON TOUCHDOWN plays on their own accord at different times in the game without any of the teams having to have called a timeout.

They were robbed. Texas won by 3 instead of lost by 3 as they should have.

Vince played incredibly. But they lost that game if the officials had not handed it to them.

"But they lost that game if the officials had not handed it to them."

What a load of craP.....the only thing known for sure is what happened after that play....had the touchdown been reversed who knows how the rest of the game would have gone.....there are millions of possibilities.....we will NEVER know the play by play which MIGHT have happened had the TD been reversed.....Maybe Texas kicks a field goal....kicks off to USC and USC fumbles to Texas on their own 1 yard line.....one of a million/billion scenrios

Back to what we know.....Touchdown happened....Texas made MORE mistakes which hurt themselves than USC.....AND STILL WON!!!!

don't give me this "we were robbed crap"

If USC kicks a FG instead of going for it on 4th down in the 1st QTR OR if they punt late in the 4th, they would have won the game.

USC's own star fumbled on that stupid lateral....

USC's QB threw an INT at the goalline....

That's at least 2 TDs left on the field there.

USC did it to themselves.

You have a point there. I linked an article from ESPN a little earlier in the thread where it talks about how the guys in the booth -- Big 10 if that matters -- dropped the ball. Regardless, though, USC blew so many opportunities it is mind-boggling. There are soooooooo many ways SC should have won this game. I won't say they were robbed -- but they left the door unlocked.
