Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young joined the Ben & Skin Show on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM] recently to talk about his Rose Bowl performance and more. Here are some of the highlights.

On his Rose Bowl performance against USC

Vince Young: It was definitely a wonderful experience. All the hard work me and my teammates went through just to get to that position. Again, a lot of people in the world think it's easy to get there, but it's definitely hard to get to that position.

I mean, I really feel like it started off when we played Michigan first year, the year before, and we had the opportunity to go back the same year to go against USC, which was I believe one of the best teams we came against that year and then had the opportunity to play the game. It was a memorable moment for us and my teammates.

On if his game against Michigan was his best game

VY: I think that one and the Kansas game that we had to come back to even get to that Michigan game, I think those two games kind of solidified a lot of things for me personally and then as the team goes, just listening to coach throughout the year when a lot of people were calling us soft, they were saying a lot of negativity towards the Longhorns and on top of that, we had never been to a bowl game.

I thought that kind of set the tone for a pretty good dynasty for Coach [Mack] Brown and the coaching staff as well as us as well.

On his relationship with Mack Brown

VY: It was really close. Still, to this day we still check on each other, still laugh and joke, he's still always checking on me, making sure I'm doing the things that I need to be doing off the field.

I think the relationship that we have was all about first of all getting to know each other and then from that, we kind of just went uphill from there. I have a lot of respect for Coach Brown. I'm very proud of him, the things that he's doing. He needs to work on his golf game, but overall a really good guy.

On if he really told Oklahoma during a game that he was running the exact same play after it was called dead?

VY: Yeah, that was definitely a true story right there.

Kasey Studdard, one of the offensive linemen was very nervous because the defensive guys were yelling out the play that we were about to run, which they were correct but they didn't know that we were running a wheel route with it.

We called that timeout and Kasey was on the sideline nervous about it. I said 'Man, listen. We're going to run the same play and when we score, we're going to go, everybody, and run down to the end zone and we'll pile on each other.'

We went out there and rand the same play and Billy Pittman made a great catch and then you just see the whole entire team run down into the end zone and do the pile on. I thought that was pretty cool.

On when he thinks things started to not go according to plan in the NFL

VY: Well just being sometimes immature about the business part of it. I think I could've did better with that, with the politics part of it. But overall game-wise, I really feel like I did a really good job of playing the game of football and things like that.

Everybody goes through things in life. You learn from it and move on. I enjoyed playing in the NFL, I still enjoy being around it. Helping the young guys, mentoring them as well. There were a lot of learning process there for me, but overall things happen, you can't really change anything.

Yes, I made some bad decisions, people around me made a lot of bad decisions. Those things happen, but I just moved on from that situation and I wish I was still playing the game but everything happens for a reason. I'm doing some good things off the field, you know, sort of helping some of these younger guys make better decisions in things that they're doing when they make it to the NFL.

On why he thinks the A&M-Texas rivalry needs to be renewed

VY: Just the history and the tradition between my university, my great alma mater and then just the history of A&M. I mean, they have a lot of history as well and then that rivalry game.

The friendship that people have with Aggies and Longhorns coming together for one big game, eating dinner just to talk trash for a day. I mean, it's fun. Especially for Texas, man. It's fun to compete and have fun, especially the fans.

I mean, I enjoy messing with my niece all the time, she's a Aggie, so I enjoy giving her a hard time every year.
