Young was amazing!
I haven't seen Michigan enough to know if Michigan's defense is that bad but Young's runs made the blue rodent defense look absolutely horrible! I'm greatful that Vince was not nearly so formidable in the '03 Holiday Bowl, otherwise the Cougs may not have emerged with the win.
Certainly after seeing Texas play in this Rose Bowl I find it hard to imagine that any Cal Bear fans out there could still be bitching about being bumped out of a BCS bowl slot.
Go Cougs!

I think Derting had a little something to do with slowing him down last year.

Derting was phenomenal in that game but.....
.........Young has certainly vastly improved from last season. The guy has wheels!!! From what I saw today the defense had better get him with the first shot as they may not get a second chance! Even Derting would have had a tough time today against him.

Running QBs have torn SCUM up all year. I figured before hand that Young would rip them a new one since he is such a great running QB. Too bad he can't pass and he gives up on the WRs too early sometimes. Either that or Texas's WR must be really bad if they can't get open.

Did anyone hear Dan Fouts say that Vince Young was going to win the Heisman next year? I laughed out loud.

Young is impressive, but I don't think the task of stopping him is as daunting as some of you are making it sound. The Buckeyes always seem to prepare pretty well for running QBs. Second of all, we do have the best LB corps in the nation. With all due respect to scUM (none!), their LBs aren't fit to hold our LBs jocks.
Young has speed to burn, but speed only matters when he's stretching a run to the outside or when he's in the secondary. Quickess is compeletely different, and that's what makes the run count for him. Young is certainly quick too, but when it comes to beating a player to the edge or reacting to quickness up the middle, I'll take our LBs hands down against all but two guys. One of them is Reggie Bush, and the other one, they only have to face in practice.

Vince Young really impressed me today, but I really feel that our defense matches up excellently with him. On defense, we are fast, have depth, play disciplined (i.e, we stay in our gaps and rarely overpursue), and most importantly, we tackle well.
Also, Michigan never hit him hard. Our guys will. That much I can guarantee.
Michigan's defense really sucked this year. If they don't recover that onside kick against MSU, and if they had to play iowa at the end of the year as opposed to the beginning, they could have lost 5 games.
3 loss Llloyd does it again. I didn't think it was possible to get out-coached by Mack Brown. They need to fire their defensive coordinator. They had all month to prepare for a scrambling QB.
It's too bad Michigan and Purdue had to screw the Big Ten, but on the bright side it will be that much sweeter when we thump Texas.

Why did Michigan try to defend Texas as anything but an option team? Young isn't at all a good thrower, some people in this thread said average, but I wouldn't give him that credit, he has absolutely some of the worst touch I've ever seen from a D1 qb. Michigan completely failed to adjust.
I think OSU is going to do pretty well against this kid, our Line Backers are much faster than Michigan's and our DBs will be okay one on one. I don't think our Safeties will be minimized...I don't recall hearing Michigan's safeties names called very much last night, they would have been helpful in containing young to short gains | |
