Same with Miami (FL) 2002...
OSU lost to that Texas team in 2005, I was at the game - one of the best games I've ever seen. Texas scored the winning TD with about 2:30 left to play and tacked on a safety at the end - Longhorns won 25-22.The thing I remember most was the OSU tight end dropped a sure TD that he had 2 chances to catch. Justin Zwick was at QB at the time but Troy Smith finished the game. Anyway, here's a recap. Smith was coming off a suspension and didn't play very well, great game....
He actually had 3 chances to catch the ball - OSU would have been ahead 25-16 late in the third quarter and lost 25-22 (Texas got a safety on the last play of the game).
Should of caught the ball

Whatever we needed, Vince Young would have delivered.
He was in the middle of a simply UNBEATABLE run.
Probably so - but it would have made it a little bit more interesting and as it was it was pretty damn, interesting as it was. Young accounted for almost all of Texas' yards - about 70 rushing and 260 passing. There have been 2 games that I've seen at Ohio State that I consider among the best i've ever seen in person in which Ohio State actually lost - 1977 Oklahoma and 2005 Texas. In both instances Ohio State won the return game on the road.

I believe Vince Young recorded the 3rd lowest Wonderlic score in its history - 6 ( tied with a couple of Florida kids, Frank Gore and Oscar Davenport )

The best team of all time was 1972 USC trojans.They beat #3, #4, #10 #14 #15 #18. No team got to within 18 points of the Trojans that year. Most dominant of all time. Neb in 1971 might be top 10 or so. Nebraska 1971 is #1 on the list - I saw it recently. They beat #2, #3 and #4...probably others but the final poll that year was Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado and Alabama and Nebraska beat all three. Nebraska was one bad bounce from a loss in there last game of the season. USC beat the #3 Buckeyes by 25 in the last game of the season and it could have been 40.

So 1973 Michigan is rated around #113 and the 1973 Ohio State is #132 I believe. They both were 10-0-1 and tied when they played in Ann Arbor, 10-10. Ohio State was selected to play in the Rose Bowl and blew out USC. The Buckeyes ended up #2 in the country behind Notre Dame. Both teams had great defenses, OSU gave up 69 points all season and 21 of those came against USC in the Rose Bowl. Both teams had eerily similar stats - And yet, ESPN found over 21 teams better than Ohio State even though all the polls and stats put OSU ahead of Michigan back in 1973. The bias ESPN has against Ohio State is as clear as the nose on the Wizard Of Oz’s face. Ya, I thought Ohio State 2014 at 118 was kind of a slap in the face 2004 USC at #2 is absurd Well I don't know if the #2 ranking is high or low but they did beat an unbeaten #2 team by 36 points and it could have been more. And the Ou team had Adrian Peterson, argueably the best running back of his generation

Good kid, with a big heart...and a tremendous competitive spirit.
