NEW YORK -- Reggie Bush treated the Heisman Trophy field the same way he responds on a football field. He ran away from everyone chasing him.
The USC junior tailback won the highest percentage of first-place votes and the highest percentage of points (awarded on a 3-2-1 basis) in the 71-year history of the award. Texas quarterback Vince Young finished a distant second, and Bush's quarterback, 2004 Heisman winner Matt Leinart, finished an even more distant third.
"It means everything for me," Bush said. "Me and Matt just made history. We won it back-to-back. For my family, for my hometown of San Diego -- it's a great opportunity, a great feeling."
Bush and Leinart will make history at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 when their Trojans take on Young's Longhorns. They will become the first pair of Heisman Trophy winners to play together in a college game.
