Just days after the 20th anniversary of Texas’ legendary Rose Bowl win over USC, national champions Mack Brown and Vince Young join CBS Austin’s Bob Ballou to reminisce about that unforgettable night in Pasadena. Mack reveals who woke him up with a congratulatory phone call at 6 a.m. the next morning and Vince shares what stands out to him 20 years later.

Then, the guys share their thoughts on Texas’ Citrus Bowl win over Michigan. Vince explains why he was so proud of this Longhorns team while Mack lays out some promising evidence regarding Arch Manning’s upward trend. They also discuss which Longhorns are shining in the NFL, the opening of the transfer portal and the importance of not only recruiting great players, but also the right kind of players.

Finally, the guys take a look around the world of college football, including Vince’s recent encounter with Lane Kiffin, Indiana’s impressive rise, Ole Miss playing with a chip on its shoulder and their Underdogs of the Week for the CFP semifinals.
