NEW YORK - Southern California tailback Reggie Bush on Saturday night became the first running back since Ron Dayne in 1999 to win the Heisman Trophy.
Bush beat out two quarterbacks: teammate Matt Leinart — last year's Heisman winner — and Texas signal caller Vince Young.
Bush is the 41st ball carrier to tuck away college football's most prestigious individual award since Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger won the first in 1935.
Virtually untouchable on the field, Bush capped a brilliant junior season with two breathtaking performances and an outrageous average of 8.9 yards a carry.
Bush and Leinart became the third set of teammates to win the award in consecutive years. The last were Army's Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside, Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis, in 1945-46.
The two USC stars will become the first Heisman winners to play together in a college game when USC (12-0) meets No. 2 Texas (12-0) in the Rose Bowl for the national title on Jan. 4.
How could you not have a smile on your face? He is going to be the new Michael Jordan. Just pure class
