i know the media wants to act like texas just beat the '85 bears, but if you remove the hype and look at the two teams, OU's win was against a much better team.

2005 USC would have planted that FSU team. They wouldn't have shut down their offense like OU did, but they would have won by 2+ TD's easily. This is a pretty sad post.
this USC offense is hands-down one of the best ever. but they didn't have near the defense they've had for the last 3 years. their reputation has been carried over from year to year, but they came very close to losing a couple of times.
i really believe if you sift through the media hype, this win was against a very very good, not great team.

I'd say that's a pretty big difference.

face the factsOriginally Posted by ProdigyDub
yes the indisputable "facts" that the Sooners in 2000 definitely beat an FSU team that was clearly better than a USC 2005 team with 34 straight wins and 2 Heisman trophy winners.Originally Posted by 85sooners
I give it up to the Vexas Yonghorns. It was the greatest single player effort I've ever seen. I'm not gonna say that the 2000 FSU team was better than the 2005 suc team either. But even a Vexas Yonghorn fan has to admit that last years suc team was far better than this years. You don't loose those defensive starters and fall from the #2 rated defense to the # 47 rated defense and say your just as good as you were the previous year unless your an absolute retarded fool.

Hey, if Vincy does well in the pros, good for him. He was very fortunate the way he moved and took hits through the years that he didn't end up like Jason White. Believe me, staying healthy made all the difference between UT winning and UT seeing another 65-13 game... and I don't mean in their favor.
Face it Sooner fans, the whorns flat-out........ outstaged us... Their offense was about the same as OU 2004, good running game and phenominal passing stats, but a strong, well-organized UT defense owned the 2005 BIG 12 and the SUC kids.
What's to say we won't outstage them next year??? The war must go on!

This post and the past BCS NC games should tell all college FB fans one thing......defense will win you championships more often than a great offense......in 04, USC had a great D as did OU, the differnece was that USC could cover the pass, which we couldn't, and they wrapped up on their tackles......Now, OU didn't do themselves any favors by truning the ball over left and right, but even if Jason and AD had played good games and bradley doesn't go after that punt, we still lose by 2 + TDs.....
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......

In 2000 OU beat an over-confident FSU team with a one of the Best Defensively Coached Teams to be in a MNC game...IMO.
no, this team had won 12 in a row. the program had won 34 in a row, not this team. that FSU team had a great defense, this USC didn't. big difference.Originally Posted by ProdigyDub
BS! FSU had a great defense. 2000 OU would score all over this shatty suc defense.Originally Posted by The Consumate Showman
OK. The 2005 team didn't have 34 straight wins. The 2005 team had 12 straight wins.Originally Posted by ProdigyDub
And the FSU team had 1 trophy winner.
I'd give a slight edge to this USC team, but think FSU's defense would have been more difficult for Texas to stop compared to USC.
Either way,
Texas shall forever suck.
