...Bush, big-time college football is as easy as two-hand touch. Last Saturday night he won the Heisman Trophy, by the second widest margin ever, after a dominant year as a runner, receiver and kick returner. Bush averaged a nation-high 8.9 yds. per carry and capped off the regular season in stunning fashion, tallying 513 all-purpose yards in a 50-42 win over Fresno State and 260 rushing yards in a 66-19 romp over crosstown rival UCLA...
