ESPN is full of it.
From Ivan Maisel:

Vince Young did more Wednesday night than slay the USC dragon, more than deliver a 467-yard rebuttal to the Heisman voters, and even more than single-handedly carry the Texas Longhorns to the school's first national championship in 35 years.

Young ran for 200 yards and threw for 267, completing 30-of-40 passes with a motion that still makes NFL scouts reach for their Rolaids. But even the pickiest of scouts knows how to read a scoreboard.

________________________

They are making it sound like the only player on the UT team was Young. If those receivers had not caught those balls there would be no 30 of 40 completions for 267 yards. And the running backs did do some running of their own. If Selvin Young had not scored that one touchdown in the second quarter the final touchdown would not have mattered. If Ramonce Taylor had not scored that touchdown in the second quarter the final touchdown would not have mattered. Hell if the Kicker had not kicked the two field goals.

Vince Young is good, but come one ESPN give some credit to the TEAM for the win, not just one player.
