    LOL, all right, sorry Reggie Bush was a dominant inside runner and is poised to do so in the NFL - you win.

    Who cares where he runs if it works? He has been doing it since high school, nobday has stopped him yet. I doubt the NFl will be able to contain him.

    I thought that UT did a pretty good job reading the plays where Bush rushed outside. I thought that they could have utilized Bush in the slot more in the 2nd half, while White was rushing. That's just my opinion.

    Yeah, I forgot how tough highschool defenses were, especially when you're bigger, faster, and stronger than 95% of the players on the field.

    You don't think a NFL defense couldn't contain Reggie? The same Reggie that was contained by the Texas defense? Tell me what kind of defenses Reggie faces in the Pac-10. Fresno State? Hawaii?

    I've always said that I would do the same thing as Reggie Bush if I was that fast. But that doesn't mean it will always work. The NFL defenses will be faster, stronger, smarter than anything Reggie has ever seen. I know this can be said for every player entering the NFL, but trying to outrun defenders to the sidelines everytime WILL NOT work in the NFL.

    UT did a damn good job against Bush, they really did. But he still got 80 something yards rushing and 95 yards receiving which is amazing to me, considering the job they did on him.

    When the eagles did a number on LT this year, they held him to like 17 yards rushing.

    This is just a guess-a shot in the dark, if you will-but I'm thinking the Eagles defense (along with probably 31 other NFL defenses) are better than the Longhorns defense.

    For a moment there I could have sworn you were talking about VY.

    Funny how people use one argument for a favorite player but dismiss the same argument when applicable for a player they don't like. ;)

    You're making that assumption because they are an NFL defense.

    I'm making the assumption that LT is better than Reggie Bush right now too, so my comparison still holds.

    I thought that the autograph debacle was weak. He's going to be rolling in it soon, so why tarnish a great image?

    I would be just as disappointed if Bush did it (for all you pro-Young people fixing to blast me)

    Gigantic holes with lots of space. When space got tight (versus fast defenses like UT, OU, Cal last year, ASU this year, or in the red zone), LenDale was clearly felt to be the better option by SC coaches. Space is really hard to come by in the NFL as an RB and nobody routinely beats defenses just running for the corner. Nobody. The problems Bush had running versus UT or Cal the year before will be magnifide in the NFL.

    Reggie Bush will have tons of adjustments in his style to be effective for the NFL, probably at least as many as VY.

    Yeah, guys like Oswalt, Lidge, Barry Sanders will be rolling it in as well. Oh, excuse me. What'd you say? They already have millions of dollars? Oh ok, that's fine then.

    Texas did not contain Bush. Bush dominated the weak defenses and high schools, so what? All college players play against inferior competition at certain points, you can't punish Bush for that. He did play Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, Va tech. he looked no different in any of those games then he did against Hawaii

    I think Bush should take Bob McNair to court :D

    Assurance indeed.

    At those shows, the player has no say so in what is charged for autographs. They are paid a set appearance fee by the show and the show sets the fees for everyone involved. It's like a paid speaking engagement to the players. They get paid whether they sign 1000 autographs or 1.
