Those teams were amazing. Reggie Bush may have been the most electrifying college player I've ever seen.

Didnt realize they made this. I want to see it. I cringe every time i hear Espn try to compare Drake to Bush. Bush was electric but could also get it done up the middle. Just an all around great back and returner.

Only people who watched them will ever truly appreciate how AMAZING those USC teams were. The 2004 Sooners were awesome, they won by an average of something like 28 PPG that year and outscored the three opponents before USC 117-6...and USC just walked right through them in the title game. It was over by halftime.

I'm still shocked to this day that Texas beat them in the 2006 Rose Bowl. That game was considered a formality.

That and the Texas TD where Young's knee was clearly down before he pitched the ball.

Also, not having the Heisman trophy winner on the field for the game-clinching 4th and 1? Not even as a decoy? Watch how Texas was lined up on that play, a pitch out to Bush and he walks for 20-30 yards.

Indeed. Was there instant replay review back then? I can't remember.

Its good that they kept mentioning the Holywood Influence on the program. It was the crap with Reggie Bush that got put them on probation. It was a program out of control that everyone looked the other way on and not only didnt do anything to fix but actually encouraged the atmosphere around the kids. They just used the Bush house stuff as an accuse to nail an enormously dirty school that at its height was probably worse than SMU.

Gotta love Pete Carroll playing dumb about the whole thing.


The only silver lining about Kiffin abandoning Tennessee is that he walked right into the NCAA buzz saw. I laughed so hard when they got hit.


But despite the 30 lost scholarships, he still recruited exceptionally well. He actually would have done really well at USC if he was at full strength.


He also would have had us on probation if he had stayed at Tennessee.

Just saw an interview with Keyshawn Johnson (apparently he produced the video). He's talking as though USC is the victim in all this.

That's the puzzling thing about it all. USC doesn't have to cheat. They could have their pick of the top talent in the country.

It reminds me of Barry Switzer's quote when asked about cheating. Switzer said, "We don't have to cheat, we're Oklahoma."

The next year they were put on probation for cheating.
