...began his college career in 1973: "Reggie Bush is as good a running back as I've ever seen." And Brown will see him again soon. On Jan. 4, U.S.C. will take its gaudy 34-game winning streak into the Rose Bowl against undefeated Texas, which features sensational scrambling quarterback Vince Young, the Heisman runner...
...might Texas, going for its first national championship in 36 years, try to stop Bush? "We just have to have two or three people around him at all times," says Texas safety Michael Huff. Be careful: that strategy offers U.S.C.'s other weapons more free room (remember record-breaking quarterback Matt Leinart, last year's Heisman winner?)

...pass to Kevin Curtis in overtime. Fitzpatrick ended the day with a gaudy 310 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a passer rating of 117.4. To put Fitzpatrick’s performance in perspective, recall that Eli Manning—the first overall pick in 2004 and now the starting quarterback for the Giants—only has two career 300-plus yard passing games in his career. And that during his senior year for the Crimson in 2004, Fitzpatrick only managed one game in which he threw for more yards than he did on Sunday. In an interview on ESPN...
