  • Do you ever think about how fortunate the universe is that Reggie's last name rhymes with the action he performed on that fateful day? "The Bush Push" is simply a perfect name for a moment that will last forever in our memory, regardless of what folks try to do to the legacy of its titular player.
    But do you remember everything that paved the way to the push being so noteworthy? To appreciate everything that made it matter and just how wildly different things could've been had it not happened - we need to rewind.

    To put into context for those of you who may be too young to remember just how dominant 04-05 was during this time picture this: a team as explosive and having as many weapons and as great of quarterback play as today’s Ohio State, and as intimidating and stout defensively as today’s Alabama and Georgia (with possible even more talent and depth). Now combine that with the fact that USC was known for being HUGE, almost comically so across the line of scrimmage during this time.

    If I remember correctly there was a huge controversy over this play because in NCAA college football rules players weren't allowed to "push the pile" or push the call carrier for extra yards.

      I think it’d be good to wait a couple more years to really let the aftermath of that game set in, especially since so much of it involves Hubert Davis’s rise and Coach K’s retirement. The narrative in hindsight will really depend on how Duke performs with a new coach over the next few years.

      Except that would have actually been the smart move in a three point game on second down with 7 seconds left and no timeouts. If Leonard is stopped, the game is over and you lose. If a pass goes incomplete, at least you can run another play, either a second end zone attempt or a game tying fg.
      That’s called situational football.

      Right. In addition to the push itself being illegal under the rules of the day, Leinart's fumble on the previous play saw the ball go out of bounds 2 or 3 yards back without forward progress being stopped. So the spot should've been at the 3 or 4 instead of the 1.

    A lot of viewers may not understand why this game was so infamous for the push. At the time, pushing the ball-carrier from behind to gain yards was a penalty. The refs missed that Bush shoved Leinart away from the pile and across the goal line. This was a history changing play that never should have happened, coming off the heels of the refs adding time back on the clock despite no replay, and committed by a team also notorious for breaking so many off the field rules that their season was literally wiped from the books and Bush's trophy was taken away.
