Reggie didn't do shit. LenDale carried this team and was amazing. I can't believe that fucking lateral RB tried to pull. That isn't like him to do something like that.

Gotta give the props to Texas. They did very well containing Bush

Damn, I just don't see how the dude can have almost 300 all purpose yards and be looked at as not doing shit...Damn, I'd love to see the kinds of players you guys watch on a regular...RB didn't run wild, but they didn't "contain" him either...

Lendale and Reggie are a team...It is safe to say that they need each other...Yes, RB pulled a fucked lateral...But with the game on the line and 2 inches to go...Lendale came up short...In no way does that take away from what he did the entire game...USC did what they did all season...They just had a quadruple dose of Vince Young...

Bush is great for big plays but I doubt he can handle an NFL 20 carries a game to be honest.

How many runningbacks have done great in college but failed in the NFL? Ki-Jana Carter was supposed to be great but he was injured every year and didn't even have an NFL career. Bush is very talented and there's a good chance he'll be great in the NFL. But I never think that it is a given. Can he be an every down back in the NFL? Can he be a goal line RB in the NFL? Can he beat NFL linebackers? We'll see.

Those things cancel out though...There are backs in the NFL right now that have starting postions, and as an avid college football watcher, I should feel a bit of shame to admit that I have NO idea where they played their college ball...I remember watching Ki-Jana, he was a hard runner, and might have done better had he not have had that bad injury...You're right, you never know, but why the doubt..? All things considered, there are some that have done more with less...I just think we are looking at the second coming of a more physical Marshall Faulk...

Am I the only watching Bush/White and thinking Williams/Brown (Auburn)..? It did not ditract from either Cadillac or Ronnie that they were splitting time with one another, and even the year before last, there were 3 of them (Big Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants) that were running the ball...Cadillac I know has gotten 1,000 yards this year, and Brown has 1,000 or close to it...Neither of those backs were as evasive a runner as Bush, and he's faster...And not just a turn the corner back, he is physical as well...Dude has already spent a summer or two training with one of the hardest working players in the NFL, LaDanian Tomlinson...I'm not holding his jock strap as much as I am saying that he has all the tools to suceed...He is that special player that comes along ever few years that is just destined to be great, like Peyton Manning...He is is going to have his rough seasons, but an NFL bust..? That's a big stretch to me...

Nah, not an NFL bust but can he be an every down back like LT or Shaun Alexander? You gotta be able to take hits in the NFL and sorry, I never saw Bush take an NFL quality hit at all in college.

lol...good answer A. He's pretty good and I agree that he'll be good in the NFL. Maybe not amazing, but one of the best for this time period
