University of Texas football fans unite.
Vote Vince and the Longhorns for the "Pontiac Game Changing Performance" of 2005.
And you can vote early...and often.
Well, you can at least vote once per week prior to the deadline -- Jan. 2 at 11:59 p.m.
Just go to and cast your vote for Vince Young's electrifying 80-yard rumble against Oklahoma State.
The run is one of four finalists up for the "Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year." Pontiac will present a $100,000 contribution to the winning school's general scholarship fund.
Young's 80-yard jaunt came after he sold a pump fake and then sliced through the OSU defense as the Longhorns began their second-half comeback from a 16-point deficit and sparked Vince to a 506-yard performance against the Cowboys.
Young's heroics were not only game-changing, but season-changing, enabling Texas to remain unbeaten and giving them the opportunity to reach the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 4, which is when the winner of the "Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year" will be announced.
