  This is peak college football. John Saunders, Brent Musburger, the ABC music. It's been 17 years but college football hasn't quite reached a fever pitch like it did during that 2005 season.

  So beautiful to be able to go back to such a phenomenal era of college football. Vince Young, AJ Hawk, Donte Whitner, etc.

  my third year as a phd student at Ohio State. The game was wild. OSU had a bad qb in justin zwick and vince young was special that year. It was funny when the game ended, a texas student knocked on my door and asked me how to get out of my neighborhood. I lead him out of my neighborhood and wished his team good luck the rest of the year.

  The best Ohio State game I ever attended and I have been to a lot of games in the Shoe.  The crowd noise was incredible. I remember looking at my buddy and saying we gave them too much time. Sure enough, Vince was being Vince.  The excitement for Troy Smith though was off the charts after this game.  This was the first national championship game for Texas that season it had that feel to it. The winner was going to have a real shot at the title.

  2005 in my opinion is the greatest single college football season ever. Top matchups after top matchups. Storylines after storylines. And so many primetime games that delivered. <br><br>Ohio State: Jim Tressel, Troy Smith, AJ Hawk, Ted Ginn Jr., Bobby Carpenter, Donte Whitner, Santonio Holmes, Antonio Pittman<br><br>Texas: Mack Brown, Vince Young, Jamal Charles, Limas Sweed, Michael Huff, Cedric Griffin, Michael Griffin, Aaron Harris, Aaron Ross<br><br>So much star power in this game and it delivered BIG time. Miss this era of football on all levels from Little League to High School, to College to Pros. This era of football was when the game was at its purest. Rivalries were REAL RIVALRIES on all levels. Wasn&apos;t so much player movement going on and players knew how to WRAP UP TACKLE HARD, instead of this pussy shoulder tackling they do now. And players weren&apos;t trying to kill the other player by launch darting themselves at the opponent. Great era of football

  Interesting fact, Texas and OU have played Ohio State 7 times together, and none of them have won at home

  Straight from austin texas. 24 years old. I was 7 years old when this game was played. This was the first longhorn game i ever watched. My grandmother sat me and my brothers and sisters down and told my mother we had to watch this because this was going to be the season we won the championship. I fell in love with the longhorns this day, and football will always hold a special place in my heart for all the memories. For yall that say we&apos;re a country club, and for the current generation that think this is a country club, just know this right here is real Texas football baby. And the mediocrity that is shown on the field today is not tolerable. Hook em.

  People always talk about Texas USC and rightfully so but this might be one of the most underrated games ever.
