Prediction:
USC 135
Texas 3
Its...Gees, you move from Jersey to North Carolina and you go "nuts".
While I think USC can score, I don't believe their defense can stop Texas.
I'm picking the 'Horns, 238-124.

If either of you are giving those points, let me know. 
Looking at the above posts got me to thinking...If that game goes into overtime... It might never end.
What is the record for most points ever scored by two teams in a game?

Beenthere,
I went nuts after I read your post. LOL
I moved from NY - not Jersey.
I was going to offer you a hot dog and soda which you could enjoy during the football game.
But now - I am revising that offer to a stale bag of peanuts and a beer - delivered direct from Shea Stadium.
God help you.

Longhorn quarterback is an O.K. player, but, not near as good as Texas people think he is..........USC will have an easy win..... 
Good question PG!!
I'm not sure what the most in a game combined is, but I think the most by a team in a game is around 87 by Wyoming. Could be wrong.

Hey darkmoon- I prefer iced tea with lots of lemon. Thanks for the stereotype. I won't start with the sheep or bull jokes for you. Hey, weren't you in that new cowboy movie?
BlueDog - I was at the Texas vs. Colorado game 70-3. Young is a little better than ok. Granted, USC is a little better than Colorado. But I'm still taking Texas by 3 in OT. 84-81.
p.s. 0 punts.

I don't know if the NCAA considers it a record, but in the 1910s one of John Heisman's Gerogia Tech teams beat Cumberland College 222-0. Funny thing if, Tech never got a first down. They scored EVERY TIME they touched the ball.
I just wonder if the Rose Bowl will pale compared to the Fiesta (ND vs OSU) and the Orange (Penn State vs FSU)
SC by 14 45-31
Young will not have seen the complexity of the defenses that SC will throw at him, but he is a dangerous freelancer that can throw on the run and has excellent speed to move the ball up the field to get first downs.
Fresno State ran the underneath over offense and SC couldn't shut it down. Most entertaining game of the entire season.
But in the end Texas will not be able to stop all the SC weapons.
Fouth quarter SC will move away and take it.

Ram...I agree. Most entertaining game in a long, long time.
RR- Excellent analysis

A little late in the thread for this but.....
Look at the "permo grin" on Pete Carrolls face and tell me that he would be this happy in the NFL....The guy is having the time of his life..
. Has there ever been another coach who loves the college coaching life as much as he does?...Agreed he is winning but, I've seen lots of winning coaches who aren't enjoying the coaching life this much...

USC- 49
Texas- 20
The points given up by SC to Fresno St. was a complete aberration, just an off day.
Texas played NO ONE this year except for Ohio State, who they barely beat and the Buckeyes would have no chance against the Trojans.
SC's team speed on both sides of the ball, the number of skill players they have and the coaching talent of Carroll and his staff is something Texas ain't seen. They will be as knocked for a loop as were the Sooners.

HeyBatter,
Guess it's safe to say you're picking Notre Dame to beat Ohio State handily!
This thread will be a lot more "fun" after the game is over, no matter how it turns out. There's some pretty brash words written here predicting big wins for both teams.
Might as well throw in another prediction. USC 58 - Texas 57 in 4 OTs. I really don't think it will be that close!

I think Texas should just mail it in, they have no chance what-so-ever - Ohio State are just a bunch of chumps anyway so that win didn't prove anything - Fresno State on the other hand.....they are really good (sarcasim off).
I keenly remember three years ago when Ohio State won their first NC since 1968. They played the defending National Champs Miami, and similar to this game were given no chance what-so-ever in the game. The game ended up a three-overtime thriller.
I can just see the Texas coaches right now talking and motivating their team. Nobody (outside of Texas) is giving you a chance - no respect. I don't see USC having a defensive answer for Vince Young. I do believe Texas can play defense better than any that USC has played this year. I am not predicting an upset, but I will not be surprised if Texas beats USC. They are the defending Rose Bowl Champs and certainly have a large chip on their shoulders.

I'll preface this by saying I'm not a USC fan. So what if they are defenfing Rose Bowl Champions. They lost Cedric Benson and have little ground game. USC faces better offenses every week than Texas. Why do you think they don't have a defensive answer to Young. They'll put a spy on him or force him to stay in the pocket. Pete Carroll is a defensive genius and the offense speaks for itself. Ohio State should have whipped Texas and would beat them easily now. Shame on them for not going woth one QB earlier. USC wins by 3-4 TD's. BTW- Good luck to whoever plays DLS in prep football in Ohio next fall. They will also be enlightened that California plays pretty good prep football.

Ureka, that's it!!! Why didn't the previous 12 Texas opponents think of that? All it takes to beat those uppity Horns is to put a spy on Young to contain him!
I happened to watch the Fresno State game and the defensive genius part must have been beyond my grasp.....
I would be remiss, though, if I did not point out that the only game Texas was held under 40 was by Ohio State and USC's defense is no where near that of OSU. On the other hand, Texas' defense is run by Gene Chizik - who was the NCAA's Assistant Coach of the Year last year at Auburn. His squad is aggressive and much better than USC's.
Regardless, I do expect a high scoring affair that ends with a burnt orange celebration.

I know USC hasn't blown people out quite like they did last year, and they only narrowly escaped in the Notre Dame game, but still there's something to be said for winning 38 (or whatever it is) straight games.
USC wins in a shootout.

Are you sure it even will be that close (i.e., 248-5)

Can't wait. Last day before practice starts too. Texas has no chance.
Walawala:
This time around the Bush isn't a Texan like Dub-Yah...if he can be stopped then it should prove to be a good game...with Rumsfeld blocking out front and Condi running interference...it may be a long day for the forlorn...I mean the Longhorn.

Hey USC fans, did you see that Oklahoma win over #6 Oregon State?
Correction:
Oklahoma beat the Oregon Ducks (#5 in BCS) and they are probably the closest thing USC has seen to Texas all year. The Ducks did not impress me at all.

I smell a conspiracy...
Since the Niners continued their stupidity by actually winning a game and for all intents putting themselves out of the "Bush Bowl"
...it looks like Reggie Bush to the Texans
...Bush and his agent are no fools, order to get a head start on cultivating a large and noisy Texas fan base,
...Bush dogs the Rose Bowl...

Oregon's upset just proves that we need a playoff system in Div. 1A college football.
Upsets happen all the time (ie. Miami's loss to the Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl 2003)
The number 5 BCS team lost to unranked Oklahoma, anything could happen......

You are singing to the choir SoM. I am sure that cancer will be cured or men landed on Mars before a playoff system can be figured out for DI-A. Actually, they are rather busy tackling MORE important issues such as the politicial correctness of college mascots.
lol, Cleveland dad...
Saw the Nebraska game...What a joke!
Texas 427 USC 15

OK Beenthere,
You threw the gauntlet down.
You have a 412 point spread - in favor of Texas.
I am going with:
USC 453 - Texas 2
That would be a 451 point spread.
Wanna bet some doggies on it?

Its - I still think you are being too conservative. I am not sure Texas can manage a safety against them.
Tusla beats that national powerhouse Fresno state 31-24.Fresno State almost beat USC.......
Ok, Just a few hours prior to game....
Bullwinkle thinks USC wins by 3 points.

Well I am hoping for a Texas blow out win. USC deserves to go down with all this national press love affair going on.
Lets hope for the fans that it as exciting as the PSU/FSU game last night
as a michigan fan i have seen both teams in action. i like USC in this game. its either gonna be really close..or a blowout in the favor of USC. USC is gonna win tho, its young against leinart, white, bush, jarrett. im pretty sure everyone here that is not a usc fan can name at least those players (im not a usc fan) and you can only name 1 or 2 players from texas. i hope texas wins, but theres no way thats gonna happen.
IS THIS A BASEBALL SITE OR WHAT?
IN THAT CASE USC HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST TEXAS IN BASEBALL
