Personally, I'm not surprised at Vince's performance. USC's defense was ranked 109 and that was against so so teams. Reggie Bush faced the toughest defense he has seen all year.
We all know that money and politics will keep the fans from getting what they want, a playoff. I'm bringing this up for the simple fact that if there was a playoff similar to what we have in division I-AA, perhaps we could truly see how talented Bush and Young are or aren't. They would have had to face some of the toughest oppenents they would have seen all year. USC's toughest oppenent before Texas was Notre Dame and Texas' toughest oppentent before USC was Ohio State. After that who all were these teams truly challenged with?
