Man, that was the most entertaining football game I have seen in some time!  Last second winning field goals are for the faint of heart!<\/p>\n<p>Vince Young was freaking awesome!  180 yards in the air (16-28-1 and 1 INT), and 194 yards on the ground with 4 TDs on 21 attempts.  Tremendous performance!  And what a way to win Texas\u2019s for appearance in the Rose!<\/p>\n<p>I am off to a rotten start with my gaming resolutions, but yesterday was a great day of football so who gives a flying $@$*^!  I may analyze both of these in-depth when it is not so late, but for now, Go Dawgs!  Go!
