Vince Young would be crazy to go back to school.

There could actually be some controversy in the top 3 NFL picks.  Who would pick Matt L over V. Young at this point?

I had a small bet on Texas, but I did that hoping that USC would win.  All-in-all, thought, I thought plus-7.5 was an absolute no-brainer.  I think L.A.'s proximity to Vegas - and the money that brings - kept the line artificially high.  The live betting at Intertops was great.  When USC went up 12, the odds were 4:1 against Texas winning straight up...but I didn't get in! dammit

After tonite, Vince Young has got to be looked at as the #1 pick.  But, David Carr did come on late in the season in Houston, so it'll be tough for them to pass on Bush.  If that holds, then Vince goes #2, while Leinart could fall to #4. 

Also, I think LenDale White definitely has to be considered a top-5 RB prospect and that would make him a definite 1st-rounder.  Based on his postgame comments, I think he's going to declare.  I should drop everything right now and become the agent for these 2 guys.

619 Rules!   ;D

Who do you have at 3?

I figure Bush will still go 1st, then Young then Leinert.  Who do you have sneaking into the top 3?

Vince Young should be the first pick, and he would help the Texans.    Reggie Bush is overrated.  He's fast and has good moves but he's not a power runner.  He was so effective because USC had White to run down the middle and defenses would overcompensate to stop the run in the middle.

Watching the game you'd have no idea the two USC guys won the Heisman and would've assumed Vince won. He owned both of them!

Maybe they can still give it to him instead.. ;D

there are rumors that vince young was being advised to come back to school because the teams picking at the top of the draft have invested in quarterbacks already.

it would be tough for hometown houston to pass on him though.
Go Big Red!!!

In the right offense he could thrive. use him like the rams used Faulk in his prime. Line him up in the slot, out wide, in motion out of the backfield
Go Big Red!!!

They said " The Texas coaches will tie Vince to the Goal Post in Austin this spring to keep him from going"

Yes, one of the best college games that I've seen.

GO TEXAS! - although I'd root for anyone playing against SC :P
