4TH-AND-5 — a national championship on the line. USC 38, Texas 33. I’m in a sea of Burnt Orange and White. 'Hook ’em Horns' hang in the air, but some fans stand silent, hands over mouths, frozen in the moment. The game is on a knife-edge. Vince Young takes off for the corner—he’s in. He’s done it. The crowd explodes. Fists fly, people leap, strangers hug. I’ve never seen anything like it. This isn’t just a game. It’s history, unfolding right in front of me.
