You can slice it any way you want, Bush had more than 3 big runs, he had 3 0f 9 or more a 18 yarder and a 26 yard scamper down the sideline for a td.
As far as the Trojans being a smash mouth football team, that isn't true, they were a high scoring, fast moving team, not smash football.
Its true Reggie was held to zero yards a couple of times, but that has nothing to do with the play I described, both Reggie and White should of been on the field, in the plays where Reggie was stopped they had sideling to sideling defensive coverage, in the play where they denied White they stacked the line and drove straight through the middle plugging the run, that kind of defense would of not stopped Bush cutting to the outside, sorry, it wouldn't.
As far as you calling 4th and 2- the 2006 Trojans, thats not true either, its true they gambled in games, but they gambled with their best players, The Bush Push, the entire Fresno State game, ect. The fact that Bush wasn't put in position to make a difference was a complete brain fart on the coaching staff. Even if he didn't get the ball on that play, just him being on the feild would of forced Texas to draw more coverage to the outside.
I also have the game on tape, I've watched it over 10 times....I love that game.
Also you saying that most people agreed going for it on 4th and 2 is a little misleading, yes most people agreed that it was right to go for it on 4th and 2, but a overwhelming majority agreed it was a bad idea not to have Bush on the field.
Bush isn't percieved as a pounder, the reason why he will be taken with the first ovrl. pick is because he is a gamebreaker, he multiple big runs in that game both passing and receiving. Texas went into the game keyed on Bush, that was evident from the first play of the game and he still walked away with a 6.3 ypc avg. If it wasn't for his bonehead play, we might be celebrating a different champion right now.
