Even now, over 10 years later, when people come up to me on the street, they always want to talk about the game. The 2006 Rose Bowl. The moment that defined my football career. It’s hard to blame them, really. A perfect season. Beating USC — the squad that many were calling the greatest college football team of all time — in the National Championship Game. Scoring the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds.
For lots of college football fans — and University of Texas fans, specifically — that game still rates as one of the best that’s ever been played, and for me, the memories will never get old.
