agreed. for OU to hold one of the top O's in college to 0 points in tha OB was incredible. i think Stoops would have devised a great D game plan for 05 suc.
IT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE! SC's offense is the best- and they could have easily jumped on texas 14-zip or 21-3 and it would have been over - Texas was jumppy early. But that is not the case as we all know-- I would have to think the 99 Florida St. Team was better than 2000 and I would have to think that FSU 2000 was as good as Fresno St. and ASU and would have played SC 2005 very tough in a shoot out. In fact any team that played USC tough knew they needed to somehow out score them.
According to the NCAA stats page, this year USC's offense is #2 behind Texas. Similarly, on scoring defense (the stat that matters) Texas is #8, and USC is #35. For anyone to be calling USC one of the greatest teams ever is silly. For comparison, in 2000 FSU was the #3 offense (we were #7) and defensively FSU was #2 and we were #7. (pre-bowl stats... NCAA.org stats don't include bowl games that year.) so yeah, we beat a much better team that year than Texas beat this year.
