FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2. 2005 SPORTS FOOTBALL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7A Texas quarterback Vince Young focuses during the pregame warmup before his team's 52-17 vict- ory against Texas Tech in this file photo from Oct. 22 in Austin, Texas. Young was selected as the Associated Press Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Harry Cabluck/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — The fourthquarter touchdown pass against Ohio State. The first victory against Oklahoma since 2000. The second-half rescue. BY JIM VERTUNO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas celebrates Young love Whatever No. 2 Texas needed this season, quarterback Vince Young delivered. When the 2005 season started, conventional wisdom was that the Longhorns would go as far as Young could take them. Eleven victories later, they are still on the move, playing Saturday for the Big 12 title. Another victory would send them to California for a second straight Rose Bowl, only this time with the national championship on the line. "We're so close," Young said. On Wednesday, the junior quarterback was a unanimous selection as the Associated Press' Big 12 offensive player of the year in voting by 20 reporters who regularly cover the league for newspapers in the seven states with conference teams. "We can smell the Rose right now." Young is the first Texas player to win offensive player of the year honors since quarterback Major Applewhite in 1999. In doing so, he broke Applewhite's school records for single-season total offense (3,369) and the career mark (8,450). Shedding his reputation as a run-first quarterback, Young passed for 2,576 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushed for 793 yards and eight more scores in leading the Longhorns to their to BC The night as who ussus first 11-0 record since 1983. Young's numbers and penchant for making big plays in Texas' biggest games have made him a contender for the Heisman Trophy, an award Young insists is a distant thought as he tries to lead the Longhorns to their first Big 12 title since 1996. Texas plays Colorado (7-4) Saturday in the league championship game in Houston. "What really matters is that we're out there having a good time and getting wins," Young said. Young's last-minute touchdown pass to Limas Sweed sent the Longhorns to a 25-22 victory at Ohio State in the second game. He threw for three touchdowns against Oklahoma as Texas snapped a five-game losing streak to the Sooners. The next week against Colorado, he ran for three touchdowns and threw for a career-high 336 yards. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS "There's no question he's the best football player in America," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said after a 66-14 Texas victory. "Nobody does for their team what Vince Young does for his." His best game came at Oklahoma State, when he ran for 267 yards, passed for 239 and scored four touchdowns to rally Texas from a 28-9 deficit to a 47-28 victory. His 80-yard touchdown run in the third quarter changed momentum in the game and perhaps saved the season. "If you pick the most valuable player in the country, it has to be Vince," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "We wouldn't be sitting here today without Vince."
