Bush Wins Heisman By Huge Margin

Congratulations to Reggie Bush of USC for winning this years Heisman Trophy:

Heisman

Bush won the award with 2,541 votes compared to 1,608 votes for the runner-up Vince Young of Texas. Bush's teammate and last years Heisman winner Matt Leinart was third. It was not even close nor should have it been. Reggie Bush had a dominate year and it was obvious that he was head & shoulders above his peers.

I think that Leinart & Bush both winning the award as teammates is a great story, a true team story, and tells you just how far back USC has brought their program. When they play together in the Rose Bowl, Bush & Leinart will be the first teammates to play together in a college game where both have won the Heisman. That's pretty impressive............................................

Bush got 784 first place votes second only to OJ Simpson's 855 in 1968. That's how dominate Bush was this year and how absolute the voting for the award was.

I think Bush will be a very special player in the NFL next year, even with a terrible team like Houston or San Francisco. He has probably the most complete gift of speed, balance and moves than any other running back who has come along in a very long time. I'm talking 30 years here and think the Gale Sayers comparisons are not off the mark. He should be a very special professional running back, just like he has been a very special college running back..........................................
