the point was general–you picked only games that suited well to be your straw-men.

i guess jahvid should be blamed that miami isn’t the old miami and that ucla sucked (even though their defense has at least a trio of first day drafts including a round 1 dt), and that lendale white did better against cal than bush did. got it.

and i imagine uw and wsu and ucla and oregon and stanford were amazing defenses when bush was running against them? did bush by any chance have any big days against sorry defenses? bush probably never put up anything against teams that allowed a lot of points or yards huh? The best defense and best team bush faced in 2004 was cal. He rushed 8 times for 23 yards. I don’t see you posting that stat. And if he averaged all those yards then he must have been getting fat against the crummy defenses, just like everybody else.

your argument simply sucks pal. move on.

the conference is better now than 4-5 years ago. And best goes against a great d in usc which bush didn’t do. How much better would bush have done against last year’s usc d?

Best had better stats than Bush at the same point and he was running behind a line that had 3 starters out to injury. When he puts up 1500 again this year though, you’ll no doubt have a good time chiming in about how much he sucks.

but good luck to you if cal’s oline holds up this year and they put down usc. b/c if they do you can enjoy being the contrarian about the rb at the heisman ceremony.

Best also didn’t play against Arizona State last year, so I’m assuming you mean he made them look silly because his sideline outfit was so sick. And you’re right, he did well against Miami, but it’s not like that’s the old Miami. Making their D look silly isn’t really all that hard when they’re overworked and injured. Georgia Tech did the same thing to them. The ‘Canes were allowing 34 points a game in the last few games of the season. Please.

And don’t pretend 16 carries for 93 yards in a close win over Oregon is something to be amazed at. Same thing for his 17 for 115 against the worst UCLA team of the past 25 years.

Jahvid Best is very good. But calling him anything near Reggie Bush is just ridiculous.

which running backs do you like. make the case for how much better than best they are.

go back and look at how reggie bush did against cal. cal basically eliminated him. The games are generally within a touchdown into the 4th quarter between cal and usc and both teams sell out to stop the other’s feature back.

best could have run for 400+ vs washington or wsu. he was taken out just after half time in both games. cal went 9-4. they must have beat somebody. i see you cherry-picking the wins over the bottom of the league and the losses, but I don’t see you wanting much to discuss miami or oregon or arizona state or ucla. perhaps that’s b/c those are decent teams and best made them look silly. go look at the video. or just blather on…
