Top 10 College Football Teams Who Were Deemed Invincible Like Kentucky in Basketball But Lost
Texas, however, came in on a 19-game winning streak behind the guy, Vince Young, who actually deserved the Heisman Trophy over Reggie Bush, who won it that year. All of this was proven in the title game.
Young willed Texas to a 41-38 upset over the Trojans to secure the national title for the Longhorns.
This was funnier than so many of the other stories because USC had been hyped up as the greatest college football team of all time and the team that would put out the most NFL talent. Keep in mind that was all based on their success against those Big-Game chokers in the Oklahoma Sooners during the previous year’s success and the dominance in the soft Pac-12 all three years.
But they got to avoid LSU in 2003 and Auburn in 2004, two teams who would have beaten them, to win the national championship.
And in 2005, the soft defense got exposed, as did Bush. This was a great game also.
