Quoting Bush's numbers almost implies you haven't watched him play

i've watched him play in every game that has been nationally televised. saying vince doesn't deserve the heisman implies none of you have watched him play all year long.

Nope, I live about an hour away so have probably seen every USC/UT game you have, to the number.

I agree with this. But, that just makes Vince the MVP for Texas and not necessarily Heisman winner. Heisman is an individual award. Bush stands out on a team of many great players.

vince SHOULD win the heisman. reggie WILL win the heisman.

Why's that?

don't forget, they lost to LA tech too
vince has had more spectacular games than reggie has. it's as simple as that. vince had 1 mediocre game all season. reggie had several. i don't know how anyone can say that reggie is a better player than vince.

The award goes to the best player in college football not the guy who was the "highest" MVP for his team. Reggie is the better player this year.

Reggie Averaged about 9.0 yards per carry this season and every team keys on Reggie when he's in the backfield...don't forget Reggie great game against ND.

And the bottom line...Reggie Bush is a video game. He is amazingly elusive and very fast. And he shares time with Lendale White...another back who will probably end up starting in the pro's.

Also, aside from OSU...Vince has not played against many solid defenses. He has a huge game against USC, which he'll need to for Texas to stand a chance, and that'll be his statement that he should've won.
