The game was one for the ages. Not only is it the best BCS game of all time, it's one of the greatest games of all time period. A lot of those players flamed out, but both sides of the ball had so much fucking college talent it's insane. After reading that list I rewatched the 4th quarter on youtube, so many players I remembered when they'd announce their name, despite them flaming out. The White/Bush backfield, Leinart, Jarrett/Smith/Turner, Byrd - I thought that was one of the best offenses in college ever, and the numbers say it was the best of the BCS era
Rushing Offense: 260.0 ypg (6th)
Passing Offense: 319.8 ypg (5th)
Total Offense: 579.8 ypg (1st)
Scoring Offense: 49.1 ppg (2nd)
It had what, 3 heisman finalist on the field at the same time as well? Including the winner, the guy who should've won and the years previous winner.
Now put them up 12 with 6 minutes left, throw in a 4th and 1 stop, a 4th down to take the lead with 25 seconds left and Bush nearly getting them in field goal territory even after all that. It was a classic in everyway. Plus the crowd was fucking insane the entire game
