Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The defenses for both teams did not show up very much. How many total yards of offense did the two teams combine for?

Answer: 1130

Both teams racked up over 550 yards each, with USC garnering up 574 and Texas gaining 556 yards.

2. What was the final score of the ballgame?

Answer: 41-38 Texas

Interestingly enough, 53 of the points were scored in the second half of this thriller.

3. What was the score at the half?

Answer: 16-10 Texas

Texas did an amazing job in holding the USC offense of Leinart, Bush, and White to just those 10 points in the first half.

4. How many yards did Reggie Bush and Lendale White rush for?

Answer: White with 124, Bush with 82

White ran for 3 of the team's touchdowns, while Bush ran for only one, although it was an electrifying run concluding with a flip over the pylon into the end zone.

5. On a crucial play in the game, after taking a pass from Leinart and finding open space down into Texas territory, Bush did what that would later prove crucial in momentum?

Answer: Tried to lateral to a teammate and fumbled over to Texas

Bush claimed he was trying to be a playmaker who wanted to make a play, but his bonehead decision gave the ball right back over to the Horns.

6. Who led the game in total touchdowns (all-purpose)?

Answer: Vince Young and Lendale White

Each man ran for 3 touchdowns, and only 1 touchdown pass was made in the whole game, a strike from Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett.

7. Though only a footnote in the final outcome, David Pino, the kicker for Texas, was not extremely sharp. How many field goals and PAT's did he miss?

Answer: Missed 1 extra point and a field goal

This wasn't quite a Gary Cismesia/Kevin Kelly kicking performance that occurred a few nights earlier, but Pino still has had better days, while today USC mourns the loss of their kicker, Mario Danelo, who died a few couple of weeks after the game.

8. We all know how Vince Young's final drive ended. How long was that final drive?

Answer: 56 yards

Texas' defense stepped up, stopping Lendale White on a fourth and 2, leading to Texas beginning their drive at their own 44.

9. How many yards did Vince Young earn on his career night?

Answer: 467

Less than 100 yards of Texas's offense involved players other Young. He passed for 267 and ran for 200.

10. Matt Leinart had what comment after the game, showing a sign that USC was very much frustrated and heartbroken by the loss?

Answer: I still think we were the better team

He still felt USC was better, but said that Texas just came up with the big plays in the end. He would be involved in the Arizona Cardinals loss in the hands of the Bears, after Arizona blew a huge lead. After that game, Dennis Green, his coach, erupted in an interview saying, "The Bears are who we thought they were!"
