Monsters Of The Midway Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 ESPN.com When else have two Heisman Trophy winners played against each other as collegians? Answer: Never. When Matt Leinart and Jason White hook up in Pro Player Stadium, history will be made. When else have 80 percent of the top five Heisman vote getters convened on the same field? Answer: Never. Between Leinart, White, Reggie Bush and Adrian Peterson, we have more marquee names than "Ocean's Twelve." When else have two teams with a combined 13 wire-service national titles met in a bowl game to decide another championship? Answer: Never. USC, with six, reeks of old money. Oklahoma, with seven, reeks even more. When was the last time two coaches who already own national titles met in a de facto championship bowl game? Answer: Nineteen years ago, when Barry Switzer and Oklahoma defeated Joe Paterno and Penn State in the Orange Bowl. Pete Carroll and Bob Stoops haven't been in their current positions for long, but they haven't wasted any time winning titles, either. When else have two teams gone the entire season ranked 1-2 in every poll, then met in a bowl game? Answer: Never. This was the game everyone wanted to see in August, and it's the game everyone is going to see in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
