Vince Young of Texas had the weekend off and I'm sure he had better things to do late last Saturday night in Austin but if he took the time to watch USC play Fresno State A.J. Green Womens Jersey , he probably saw more than he wanted to. Young, like everyone else in the nation, wants to see a Texas-USC showdown in this year's Rose Bowl, so he may have found it hard not to root for the Trojans. However, I'm sure Young would love to win the Heisman (who wouldn't?) Orange Michael Jordan Jersey , so I doubt he enjoyed Reggie Bush's Gale Sayers imitation. My latest Heisman update follows.
1) REGGIE BUSH (USC) Last Week: 3. I wrote last week that "I can't imagine that even Bush's most ardent supporters don't feel as if the Heisman is slipping from Reggie's grasp." I seemed a fair statement at the time. After all, Bush had failed to top 100 yards in three of his previous four games (averaged 85.8 YPG), scoring just two TDs. How quickly things can change. Bush's game against Fresno State was "one for the ages" and his performance likely won him the Heisman. His 50-yard TD run late in the third quarter, not only capped a 28-point outburst by USC, but left anyone watching believing that Gale Sayers had been reincarnated! Reggie's performance defies description and is likely his Heisman-defining moment Orange Renell Wren Jersey , much like Carson Palmer (2002) and Matt Leinart (2004) had in their games versus Notre Dame. Bush ran for a career-high 294 yards with two TDs. He caught three passes for 68 yards and added 151 yards in kick returns. That adds up to 513 all-purpose yards, a total that shattered the previous USC record of 368 held by Anthony Davis in 1972! The game vaulted him from No. 3 in all-purpose yards this year to No. 1, averaging 212.6 YPG. He now has more yards rushing this year than he's had in his two previous years combined and after entering the season with just two career 100-yard games, has had seven in 2005. Reggie gets a well-deserved rest this week and will try to put an exclamation point on his season against UCLA on December 3 (had 204 yards against the Bruins last year). His season stats are: 163 carries 1398 yards 8.6 YPC 13 TDs 31 catches 383 yards 12.4 YPC 2 TDs.
2) MATT LEINART (USC) Last Week: 1. I'm a huge supporter of Leinart and give him extra-credit for all his career accomplishments but like everyone else, I was blown away by Bush's performance Saturday night. Leinart had a relatively quiet game Orange Ryan Finley Jersey , although as always, he calmly directed USC in its comeback win. He finished 22-of-33 for 200 yards with one TD and no interceptions (also ran for one score). Leinart is the unquestioned leader of this team and if he can lead the Trojans to two more wins (UCLA on Dec 3 and then in the Rose Bowl on January 4), there will few if any players in college football history, that will be able to match his career accomplishments. As of today, Leinart has led USC to 33 straight wins Orange Germaine Pratt Jersey , the fifth-longest streak since 1900. He's had USC atop the AP rankings for 31 straight polls, an all-time record. The team has tied a Pac-10 record with 26 straight home wins and its 23 straight conference wins, is also a new Pac-10 record. Leinart is now 36-1 as a starter at USC with a TD-to-interception ratio of 95-23! His season stats are: 233-of-351 66.4 3217 yards 24 TDs 7 INTs 6 rush TDs.
3) VINCE YOUNG (Texas) Last Week 2. Vince Young had the week off and I don't know if he took the time to stay up late and watch the Fresno State-USC game. If he did, he may have seen what the rest of the nation saw, a Heisman-winning performance by Reggie Bush. Young has made great gains on both USC players over the last month but he falls back to No. 3 in my rankings. While many still have him ahead of Leinart (I disagree) Orange Drew Sample Jersey , I doubt many have him ahead of Bush after Reggie's incredible performance last Saturday night. In Young's last game, a 66-14 win over Kansas on 1112, he threw for a career-high four TD passes. Only a head-scratching six rushing attempts for minus four yards, kept him from topping 300 yards in total offense for the fifth time in his last seven games. Young opened the season by averaging 181.3 YPG passing with five TD passes, four interceptions and one rushing TD in his first three games. Over his last seven games Orange Jonah Williams Jersey , he's averaged 267.2 YPG passing while throwing for 17 TDs (just four INTs) and running for seven more. In that stretch, he's averaged 348.9 YPG in total offense. He is now the school-leader in total offense with 8,269 career yards, e Weis, Quinn has spent the season re-writing the Notre Dame record book. Notre Dame was held scoreless in the first quarter against Syracuse this past Saturday but Quinn remedied that with two second-quarter TD passes. The Irish went on to a fairly comfortable 34-10 win and are now just one win away (at Stanford this Saturday night), from securing a BCS bid. Quinn completed 21-of-27 passes for 270 yards (eighth straight game of more than 250 has a school-record 15 in his career) with two TDs and no interceptions. The 270 passing yards gives him over 3,000 yards this year (first-ever by an Irish QB) and a career total of 7 Orange Jessie Bates III Jersey ,618, passing Ron Powlus as the school's all-time leader.
