Vince Young

4th of January, 2006 at the Rose Bowl: Texas quarterback Vince Young celebrates after his team defeated USC 41-38 to win the national championship. Young passed for 267 yards and added another 200 yards on the ground, including the game-winning touchdown. The staff-member behind doesn’t look too impressed, however. Perhaps he was a USC fan still feeling bitter over the result, or perhaps some confetti got into his eye.
