Sacking the unsackable Leinart 3 times.  Making a game-winning stop late in the fourth quarter on fourth down and two to set up the winning Young touchdown.  People talk about Vince’s confidence, but the Galago would be confident too if he had a defense that strong.

 Hats off to Vince Young, Mack Brown, and the Texas Defense for a wonderful season and for bringing the National Championship back to Texas!
