“All the dreams, all the hopes for the National Championship come down to this play…”
Anyone who was college football-conscious in the last 20 years knows what happened next.
Four years before that play, Vince Young came to Austin to play for the Texas Longhorns with high hopes and even higher expectations but struggled to make them materialize early in his career.
Young struggled in his early starts as a sophomore, including a now infamous game against the Oklahoma Sooners, throwing two interceptions in a 65-13 blowout. In fact, in his storied career, the signal-caller managed just one win over rival Oklahoma, a 45-12 victory in the storied 2005 season.
