OT:Watching Texas vs USC last years championship game - New England Patriots Forums

Watching last years great game on ESPN Classic. Dave Thomas was a monster in this game. Hopefully he has a big game tomorrow. Interesting to watch the NFL's top two rookie QB's in their last college game.

Ramonce Taylor had a great run that night too. Too bad he couldn't keep his head screwed on right because he'd made a big difference for Texas this past season and would've eventually made it in the NFL as well.

Charles is injured too much. Taylor, due to his frame, was never going to be an every down back. And Selvin Young fumbles more than Faulk. That was Texas's other weakness besides the secondary, IMO, lacking the consistent, smashmouth RB.

I get a kick out of watching NCAA games on ESPN Classic. I try to see if I can discern the good players from the bad (pretend to be a scout) to see how it worked out. Interestingly, I thought Elway was a goof. Lots of great looking linebackers, none of who ever heard from again...

Tough job, even with hindsight.
