OU QB Jason White & the Sooner offense carve up the Longhorns for the 4th year in a row. The Oklahoma defense shuts down new Texas Freshman QB Vince Young. (from Oct. 11th 2003) **First Half Highlights*
Its sickening that 2002-2004 didn't produce a national title. The 2002 team was really good too but the slip up at A&M early in the season ultimately locked them out of playing for the title. 2002 & 2003, I think every defensive player went to the NFL
77-0 win over atm the following year was even funnier when the mercy rule was invoked and they ran the clock during timeouts the entire 2nd half... bizarre.. never have seen that at any level of football in 40 years
Like I said, freshman. Turning over the ball is part of the game when you're inexperienced. Still doesn't take away from the fact that a freshman non-starting QB lit up the National Championship-bound Sooners for 145 yards rushing (!) w/TD, and 133 yards passing. Doesn't sound too dominating to me....
I was looking at the Heisman list to see if who won in the past and I saw Jason White. Never heard of him. Watched his highlights and then watched this. The dude was slinging the rock lol
Not sugarcoating a loss. A loss is a loss. My comment was about a freshman QB who wasn't even a starter "being shutdown"....which obviously didn't happen.
Well, I wouldn't go that far...lol. I just think for a freshman QB Young played a decent game against formidable competition. I definitely showed glimpses of his future college potential.
Actually, in 2000 when we won the BCS national championship, was the year we had the lowest percentage of texans on our roster, which was less than 20%. We had more Oklahomans that year, than any other year in recent history. Also, 4 out of our 5 Heisman winners were Oklahomans. UT fans must also realize that most of their national championships were won by an Oklahoman, Sooner born and Sooner bred Darrell Royal. They even have their stadium named after him. BOOMER SOONER!!
You call a freshman QB who wasn't even the starter rushing for 145 yards w/1 TD and passing for another 135 yards "being shutdown"? LOL....no, the Sooners shut TEXAS down....Vince Young, not so much......
