USC Game Thoughts

Reggie for Heisman

By far Reggie Bush is the best college football player I have seen play this year. After the ND game, there is no way I would vote anyother way if I could vote. Without him, USC gets blown out. Period. Just incredible.


Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Where did LenDale White go? The Irish put the smack down! Total non-factor.


The Last Play

After watching the play time after time, I can safely say that yes the Bush Push did happen. Also, Hoyte could have stood Leinart up but Hoyte decided to either go strip the ball out or pull Leinart down. It looks like these happened at the same time. Bush pushed right when Hoyte thought that Leinart was stopped and then reached around to go for the ball.


Missed Opportunities


With that said, Notre Dame left everything on the field Saturday. Quinn had a great game although he missed a couple of throws. Two biggies are both overthrows. One to the Shark out of the back of the endzone. The other, over Schwapp's head before the missed FG.


The King of Coaches vs. The Poodle

Weis definitely had the team prepared for this one. He saw weaknesses and attacked them. The NBC announcers kept talking about how bad ND was doing on 1st down, but that was by design. NBC could not put 2 and 2 together. They knew Weis wanted ball control. Well, if you do that, you will typically have a bunch of 3rd downs. Duh! Weis acknowledged as much in his presser yesterday.

Bottom line: I do not see ND losing to USC again in the coming years. Next year will be a blowout if Bush leaves.
