Southern California's Reggie Bush celebrates his third quarter touchdown against Fresno St. in Los Angeles in this Nov. 19, 2005 photo. Bush set out last summer to become a complete running back, not just a guy with sprinter's speed who could attack the flanks of a defense. He's accomplished that, and a lot more for top-ranked USC, making him the apparent front-runner for the Heisman Trophy. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian)

He , too, has been impressive from what I saw of him..

Maybe a co-Heisman is in order.

Vince won many of the other "top player" awards as a consolation prize. Reggie will get the Heisman, and he deserves it. Many awesome players at the college level this year. Can't wait for the Rose Bowl--I've got a couple of bets riding on it.

Freepmail me to be added to this list.


I don't know if he will revive the tradition as this article suggests. There isn't a lot of nationally known RBs coming back next year. There ARE a bunch of talented QBs with big name programs coming back next year however. Brady Quinn, Vince Young, Troy Smith, Chad Henne to name a few.....

Texas quarterback Vince Young looks to throw a pass against Texas A&M during the first quarter Friday, Nov. 25, 2005 in College Station, Texas. The Heisman Trophy competition is a three-man race _ just as it's been all season. Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart of Southern California will be back in New York on Saturday, along with Texas quarterback Vince Young, when the Heisman Trophy is awarded to the nation's best college football player.

I saw him play high school ball. It was easy to see he had the makings of a great player --- and he is a nice boy too.

If Reggie Bush doesn't win it's rigged, really that simple. Never have I seen a college back as good as Reggie = he's better than Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Gale Sayers, OJ and Bo Jackson....he's simply the best I've seen, 8.9 yards per carry, over 6,000 all purpose yards by Junior year - unbelievable!!!! BTW, I am not from Ca or Tx, have no bias on the issue - Bush is just the best.
