Both teams had mental lapses. The turning point during the game was when Reggie Bush pitched the long reception he had back to a USC player when Texas recovered the fumble. USC was in total control up until Bush tried to make the big play. This wasn't necessary of Bush and he didn't play the same the rest of the game. What was he thinking?

IMO this was no worse than the fumbled punt return in the first minute of the game immediately following UT coming in and completely shutting down SC on their first drive....
