2006 Rose Bowl Rewind with Mack Brown, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young plus 2025 Predictions

1 hour 5 minutes

What's the greatest College Football game of All Time?

Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone are joined by three College Football Hall of Famers to make the case it's the 2006 Rose Bowl. Representing the Texas Longhorns, former head Coach Mack Brown and Quarterback Vince Young, while Heisman winner Matt Leinart carries the water for the Trojans. All three look back at the lead up, key moments, and the after effects of the 41-38 Texas victory.

Mack sticks around to go down memory lane on some of the things he saw over the years as coaches tried to circumvent the rules, he and Urban's relationship, and what the future holds for the sport he has spent his life in.

Since it's the final episode before the season starts, the guys revisited their February championship picks during the Crystal Ball. Not to spoil anything, but #HookEm.
