It has been just over two weeks since sports have been taken away from us due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To make up for it, ESPN has decided to re-air classic sporting events in primetime each night, including the best college football game of all time.
On Thursday night, ESPN will be re-airing the 2006 Rose Bowl between Texas and USC, the most famous game in Longhorn history. Quarterback Vince Young led the program to their fifth national championship.
A game with historic college football players such as Young, Reggie Bush, and Matt Leinart, not many games have the same anticipation the 2006 Rose Bowl did. Clearly the two best teams in the country throughout the 2005 season, it was a clash of two heavyweight teams.
To refresh your memory, here are some highlights from the game:
To go along with Thursday, Longhorn Network will be replaying other classic Texas games throughout the week. Ranging from 2019 regular-season games to classic rivalry games against Oklahoma and Texas A&M, there is plenty of retro Texas matchups to watch.
Here is the full schedule for ESPN and their family of networks.
You can catch the 2006 Rose Bowl on ESPN at 7 p.m. CST on ESPN.
