The Horns Sound - Texas Longhorns 2005 Football Championship Highlights

A game-by-game recap of the Texas Longhorns 2005 National Championship football season using original broadcast audio.

[@ModanoTheBest]

"Fourth down and five, the national championship on the line." Still gives me chills.

[@robertharvey9047]

ModanoTheBest Robert Harvey love community rock star

[@jaredtaylor8083]

ModanoTheBest This was the greatest game that Keith Jackson ever called

[@DanTheTrojanMan123]

I don’t know whose call I like more. Craig Way the voice of the Longhorns call was pretty great! Hook ‘Em!!

[@slofever512]

Me too I remember like it was yesterday won a 💯

[@scotttexasbornandbred1063]

I just wish Vince woukd have more of himself in the NFL. The man had ot all and just wasted it by sheer too much ego. DAMN. Maybe Erligher has to come back to 15 years later. Let's show an.. We're Back. HOOK EM'

[@Thekingcmk]

LMAO at the baylor game. "This is going to be a good one" Final score 62-0

[@slackerman9758]

I thought it was good 🤪

[@BenS920]

That shot of McCoy and Young throwing before Texas Tech made me smile. From 04-09 was an amazing ride.

[@ColdCoorsBanquet]

Right one hell of a ride

[@TexboyGamer]

I'd give anything to have a decade like '98-09

[@mtn7836]

TexBoy get ready for it, it’s coming soon.

[@bobbywhite6145]

One of the greatest years for texas football!!

[@zachramey7187]

Bobby White I think it was the greatest.

[@thestopsine82]

Yessir

[@gilbert956]

So much talent and speed! And brutally physical at the same time...this team was unreal!

[@cyncus1]

Just a machine of a team!! Charles was jus a true freshman and he dominated. I forgot how dominate Ramonce Taylor was... God that was such a great year. Our D was killer too!! Team was stacked with NFL players n keep in mind charles n finley came out early. I truly believe the greatest college team in history!!! Hookem!!

[@isaacgomez1974]

The best player arguably to ever play during the BCS era, a top 5 running back in the backfield in the NFL, a pro Wider Receiver and a veteran offensive line. Romance Taylor was amazing and could've done big things, but he got in trouble. Every single starting DB on that team plays in the NFL, and the Thorpe winner to go along with it. Great D-Line and Linebackers. I'm telling you guys, I really do believe this was the best college football team of all time. While I respect the 2001 Miami team and all their players success in the NFL, This 2005 Texas team would've matched Miami man to man if they ever played.

[@pats4lifebb]

Stop, they were nowhere close to the '01 Canes, that's just beyond stupid, by a "pro WR" you're talking about Limas Sweed, who wouldn't have been the third best pass catcher on the Canes

[@RibuloseBiphosphate]

pats4lifebb Although the stats of Texas don't match up completely to Miami's, their accomplishments that season still stacks up quite nicely. That year Texas dominated almost every team they played. It also included the key win against #4 Ohio St. at Columbus which is not an easy task for visiting teams. And the 70-3 win against Colorado (was over before the second half the game) was the most lopsided score in a championship game. Lastly, the win against the then 2x defending AP national champions, USC (ESPN prematurely calling the Greatest Team ever) is self explanatory.

[@isaacgomez5684]

Ribulose Bisphosphate Don't bother bro, he's just following the mainstream in calling Miami #1, and taking offense to anyone saying otherwise.

[@pats4lifebb]

Isaac Gomez lol, I don't even like Miami, just pointing out how stupid it is to compare Texas to the 01 Canes, no need to be mad tbh,

[@isaacgomez5684]

pats4lifebb Holy shit that was quick lol do you have a life? No ones mad buddy, if anything, you're the one whose made for me making a bold statement that's not mainstream. Texas went 13-0 beating another team who would've been considered as one of the best ever, y'all beat Nebraska. There's many cases for Miami, and cases for Texas. Your ignorance and lack of college football knowledge doesn't comprehend anything outside of the norm. Now get you no life having ass out of my comments. Lol you haven't comment since August and comment in like 5 minutes. Of course you're a Pats fan. It makes perfect sense for someone like you.

[@HE1SMAN]

Best college team ever.

If this team were forever young....they would still be undefeated..simply the greatest college ever....can't believe this was almost 20 years ago....

[@thumpa1205]

This was a hell of game, and I still remember it to this day.

So proud to be a Longhorn. Let’s hope Herman gets us back on top...soon

These are coach strong recruits I can’t wait to see how terrible Herman does without coach strong recruits

[@datrandodude6511]

Each phase was on a different level. Offense, defense and special teams were remarkable.

[@angryreaper9336]

I still think this is one of the best, if not the best, football teams of all time. They were such a complete team on both sides of the ball. I really hope Texas can get back to this level of talent soon. The last few years have been rough. HOOK'EM HORNS!!!

[@stephanieogaga7688]

Been watching The Season on the longhorn network and I've just gotten so hyped watching this squad. This is BY FAR the best ever college football team in the history of NCAAFB. Vince Young was a killer QB, and Mack Brown was a hella good coach! I believe Swoopes and Strong can work magic for us, and maybe we can be Texas Football again! But Hook Em!!!

[@scotttexasbornandbred1063]

Would have lived to see Charlie Strong do good things and Texas. Cards were stacked against him. Tom Herman not extended to 2023. We should and better she a National Championship. I am looking at 2019 2021 at the latest.

[@kingsaucey1419]

01 hurricanes? This is a very biased opinion to say by FAR

[@dr.a.995]

What a game! Went to bed in last quarter so I could get up by 4:30; when I went to shave that dark morning, my 2-degrees from Texas wife had posted a sticky on the mirror: “Texas fight! Texas fight...!” No need for anything else. I could feel the depression that sat over the Trojans as I drove past USC that morning! We will never forget Vince and the rest of that Longhorn team. What an ending!

[@bs1194]

Holy shit. Texas was so good

[@scotttexasbornandbred1063]

Not WAS. IS And we will show it in the future. TEXAS FIGHT !!!

The Greatest College Football Squad Ever. 🐐

Out of any team this is my alltime favorite squad. I remember using texas all summer as ncaaf team on xbox before the season started. Stomped every body they were mad until the season started 🤣

Best. Video. Ever.

[@kane9074]

“ longhorn nation, weeeerrrrreeee baaaaacccckkk!!”

[@paulstewart11]

Love this entire clip, but it's missing the Justin Zwick fumble when Drew Kelson got him and Robison picked it up. That play shut the door on that game, and I'm not sure I've seen a more excited sideline than that play. Might be my favorite play from that season.

[@ExtraClassy]

Yeah, I also wish I kept the Reggie Bush fumble. I cut it down from 20 minutes so I had to lose some favorites.

[@Yehudah5768]

Most amazing bowl game I've ever seen. Hook'em.

thank you

[@taternater83]

GREATEST TEAM EVER

[@rexsilicignus8370]

If this team was called for targeting by today's rules, they wouldn't have been undefeated. Half the starting players would be missing in games at any one time. I guess the storied life of Vince Young mirrored the future of the program.

[@ladeviousblanton4430]

Man that 2005 longhorns defense put Rhett bomar on his ass all day on that red river rivalry game

[@TexasNightmare210]

Wow what a year, what a team! Should have shown Jamaal Charles 80 yrd run vs Choklahoma but other then that great vid. Every game that year there was a special play that you talked about all week. Hook Em \\m//

[@EllaTravels1986]

What a "sweet" year! Hook 'em!

[@ra5941]

Vince Young, 4-headed monster running backs (Jamaal Charles, Selvin Young, Ramonce Taylor, Menton), sure-hand receivers group (sweed, thomas, etc), very strong offensive and defensive linemen, physical linebackers and very deep secondary (4 are 1st and 2nd rounders), along with averaged kicker and punter. Special team is one of the best in nation with returning and blocking skills...well, who can beat 2005 longhorns? I can't think of any other team that completed as that longhorns team.

[@RibuloseBiphosphate]

You can't spell victory without VY! Hook 'em Horns!

[@TylerEubank]

Knee was down

[@dvbravo8027]

I wished he would've stayed and played his senior year instead of going to the NFL.

[@SteaminB420]

I wish all of the great athletes(football/basketball) would stay and play all 4/5 yrs of college! Well atleast until they help the team win the championship. I remember longhorn basketball recruited sum of the best players(Aldridge, Durant, Ford, Augustine etc) but they never got the chance to play together because Aldridge and Durant went 1 n done I believe. That would've been a hard squad to stop

[@SteaminB420]

Had Vince not won the championship I believe he would've came back for another year but then again with people/agents/NFL teams in your ear talking about money it's kinda hard to pass that up lol
