Ross plays part in Giants Super Bowl win

Aaron Ross and the ten guys with him on the defensive side of the ball took the field with :28 on the clock and a 3-point Giants lead that no one ever expected to see.
Ross himself had a chance to seal the win of the first play. He was the lone Giant in coverage on an errant deep ball from Tom Brady that found only the turf.
Brady was sacked for a 10-yard loss on the next play, and third down was a deep incompletion to Moss.
Fourth-and-20, and ten seconds left. It all came down to one more deep ball.
The play resulted in one more incompletion, and the Giants got the ball back left with one tick left.
17-14, New York wins.
Ross finished the game with just 1.5 tackles, but it looked like Brady didn't go in his direction much.

Welker beats Ross

Round two of the Texas vs. Texas Tech contest goes to the Red Raiders and Wes Welker.
Aaron Ross appeared to be in man coverage against Welker, and when the speedy slot receiver took off across the field, Ross couldn't keep up.
Welker made a catch for a 19-yard completion and Gibril Wilson brought him down.

Ross and his defensive mates are getting no help from Eli Manning on the offense. They've been on the field constantly, and they've held stubbornly time after time. Thanks to them, the Giants only trail by four points in the fourth quarter. They couldn't (realistically) ask for a better position.
As I write that, Manning connects with tight end Kevin Boss for a 35-yard gain, and they are driving.

Ross makes a big play

We just saw a Big 12 confrontation in the Super Bowl, and Texas came out on top against Texas Tech.
Aaron Ross brought down Wes Welker for a 2-yard loss. New York's Corey Webster got to Welker first and held him up just long enough for Ross to put a hit on him.
After a penalty breathed new life into the Pats failed drive, New York was able to shut down Tom Brady once more and forced an incompletion on fourth down to take over.
Ross now has 1.5 tackles, and I haven't seen him get beat yet.

Aaron Ross Super Bowl watch

Texas-ex Aaron Ross made his Super Bowl debut a few minutes ago as a starter for the New York Football Giants.
I'll keep tabs on him throughout the game.
During the Patriots first possession, Ross earned half a tackle. The Patriots scored on the drive and lead 7-3 in the second quarter.

Ross acknowledged how fortunate he is to be playing in a Super Bowl during his rookie season on TexasSports.com. He pointed out that it took Giants punter Jeff Feagles 20 years in the league to finally set foot on the big stage. Teammates Sam Madison and R.W. McQuarters have been in the league 10 and 11 years respectively, and they're both playing in their first Super Bowls he said.
"Not just making it, but participating in it means a lot," he said.
