1. A USC coach should have been assigned to watch game video and signal to Pete when it was time to take a timeout to give game officials more time to study replays. That play was a major snafu for the replay system, not to say that Texas might have scored on the next play, but if reviewed I can't believe they would have upheld the score on this play.
2. I have not heard that Young has declared for the draft but if he has, and Texans don't take him I would be shocked. A QB who can run and throw like he does would be more valuable as a franchise player than a RB. I aslo would not be surprised if the Texans trade the #1 pick for multiple first and second round picks and start building on that.
3. Pete should have punted with just over 2 minutes to play and the ball on the 44 instead of trying for a 1st on 4th and 2 yards to go. With the ball inside the 10 the difficulty in scoring a TD to win the game would have been greater. I know, that is arm chair coaching (I was actually sitting up in the bed by then), but that's what I thought at the time, and still do.
