Carroll screwed up? Are you referring to the 4th and 2 with 2 minutes or so left?
I think it was the correct call. They had been able to run up the middle on Texas all day....crap...not Bush, the other guy....anyway, they get the 4th and 2, they win the game. Texas had been moving the ball well, and the best strategy was to keep the ball out of Texas' hands.
The big mistake was whomever called the timeout on the 2 pt conversion play. Then Leinart not throwing the ball away after 2-3 seconds after nothing developed on their last play. He looked downfield for 7 seconds. Gak.
I didn't think Carroll did anything too badly.
