The ESPN Reggie Bush lovefest missed a few facts...
If you look at the Top 40 punt returners by average guess who you wont find?
Look at the Top 100 kick returners and guess who you wont find?
Look at Reggie's yards per return Saturday and see where that would rank. (uhh 97th - you get alot of return yards when your team gets kicked off to 7 times).
The guy had enormous game against a middle of the road team and a second huge game against one of the nation's worst defenses but with big exposure against Notre Dame. If they had any defense he wouldnt have even played the second half. Poor Vince cant rack up any numbers without being accused of running up the score.
Reggie's a great talent. Should be No 1 pick and will be fabulous. Doesnt mean 1 big game with distorted stats should get you a Heisman.
