ball shoulda been spotted at the 2or 3 yard line. I bet they don't do a QB sneak from that spot then. Leinart fumbled and the ball went out of bounds behind him but ref never saw it.
Watching this vid brings me back there every time. I even get an adrenaline rush of nervousness on the 4th and 9 play. I mean, I thought the game was OVER. I had my head down in my hands and didn't even see the play. I just hear fellow SC fans near me jump up and scream "GO GO GO!!!" Next thing you know I see Dwayne Jarrett running toward us. Then for time to "run out" and see ND fans storm the field...I thought it was over - AGAIN. Then the BUSH PUSH! I was hoarse after the game. Fight ON!
football is football...this controversy is bs..... ask anyone whos played football and been a ball carrier....your team always pushes you forward lol what a joke
@Versuz54 Hey cut out the ignorant bullshit. You dont like USC? Fine, but don't lie about Pete or his program. He never cheated. Unlike almost every other program to be recently investigated, USC and our coaches NEVER cheated. It was a wannabe sports agent who paid bush's FAMILY, not even Bush himself, to entice Bush to LEAVE USC, not to come to USC, like other schools.
Get it straight, son. USC never cheated. Be a man and don't lie about that fact because you're butthurt.
@motorboatinodin The NCAA says USC did and i'm pretty sure they did. When the allegations are THAT deep i mean i think their was something going on there. I think EVERY Top 10 CFB progam cheats at some point it just depends really on the steepness of allegations. I'm pretty USC paid somebody for the whole illegal benefits crap that i don't agree with. I don't agree at all with some of the "Penalties" handed out but the law is the law and i'm pretty sure SC absolutely cheated in some way.
This whole Bush push thing is ridiculous. Yeah it's a rule that you can't aid the runner, but think about how many times on any given Saturday or Sunday you see a team push the runner or the pile fowards while the defense is trying to push him backwards. Ok now that you've thought about that, now try to think about how many times you've seen a penalty called on that? I can't think of a single time. It's just one of those rules refs don't call and quite frankly I don't blame them.
I have a whole different perspective watching this after Pat Haden took the USC AD job...he comes off as extremely biased towards USC in this video...everything he says is slanted towards USC...
i dont want any lane kaffin flack for this comment no bullshit about pete carrol leaving for the nfl.........pete is one of the classiest coaches to ever grace this historic sport.....FIGHT ON FOR EVER
@lowryt21 pete carroll is a cheater. He bolted for the nfl because he knew that the shit was about to hit the fan regarding his improper recruitment of reggie bush and decided to make a run for it
i remember that game like it was yesterday! If i was a ND student I would have left the field i would have had the fans come on and rip the goal post down lol then we would have won!
y didn't they kicked the field goal in case they didn't get the TD.....if they didn't get the Td the with no time out the clock would of ran out on them
@dbcraft SC had no time outs left and they were acting like they were gonna down the ball to stop the clock and talk it over quick before running a play...
@dbcraft They meant to say spike it. That would stop the clock, a field goal would tie, and take your chances in O.T. Pete Carroll was signaling spike it to fake out thedefense. The announcers meant to say spike it.
I hate usc but they are never gonna lose to nd ever!!! But notre dame, charlie wise and jimmy cluasen are all overrated pussys!!!!! NOTRE DAME IS AN EPIC FAIL!!! THEYA RE AN EMBARRASMENT TO NATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!
@kizzela12 Here is the acutual NCAA rule,and it makes no distinction between a single pusher and multiple.Interfering for or Helping the Ball Carrier or Passer
ARTICLE 2.a.The ball carrier or passer may use his hand or arm to ward
off or push opponents.
b.The ball carrier shall not grasp a teammate;and no other player of his
team shall grasp, pull, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in
forward progress.
c.Teammates of the ball carrier or passer may interfere for him by blocking..
Section 3, Article 2b of the NCAA rule book states that, "[t]he runner shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in forward progress." If the penalty had been called, the push would have resulted in a five-yard penalty and another play....that is the actual rule
no body forces this rule. fat ass linemen do it all the time. i have never even seen the penalty called. they coulda flaged it and left 3 seconds left and we coulda took the field goal and took it to o.t. and whooped jabba the weis's as then too
Either way local ND officials did not see it and or call it and teams submit to the refs who officiate the game. This was an exhibition match so its not like they were pac 10 refs.
1:39 "Notre Dame has won!" Well, not quite. The whole SC sideline knows the ball went out of bounds, time will be put back on the clock, and it ain't over yet.
note to everybody who is crying about that play..it is NOT ILLEGAL to push your man in the end zone, it is only illegal to pull him in the end zone.,.pushes happen all the time..live with it haters
And again, your ignorance is your demise. Please re enter the second grade, learn how to research a topic BEFORE, not after, you post a comment, just because people are shot daily, and crimes committed daily, that does not make them legal, last time I checked anyway; which happened to be right before I posted this, just incase legalities of murder had changed.
i agree with jfred. a win is a win. i've been livin w/ the raider tuck rule against the pats 4 years now and it sux, but hey, a win is a win. there were plenty of opportunities 4 ND 2 win it on that drive but they didn't. SC didn't beat tx and ND could never have beated tx that year. sux cuz i hate tx and love SC but its the truth
Not only was the Bush Push illegal, but it is a penalty for an assistant coach to call a TO which is obvious after the ball goes out of bounds and the guy goes right in the ref's face calling for a TO. Oh yea, it's also illegal to call TO's when you have none left.
im not exactly sure the rule on the push, but they did try to call a timeout. lol, If that were basketball, would have been more obvious, just ask Chris webber
Best ending to a game ever. ND fans rush the field thinking they've won then USC scores a TD to win the game and rip their hearts out. Years later Domers still bitch and moan.
USC did not cheat. If you can provide me evidence of one instance in which pushing a player forward like that has been called in D-1A, I'll be thoroughly astonished.
yea but im pretty sure USC would do that to, it happened countless amounts of time in vollege football history, other team runs out - o wait no, go back. who cares lol. i was just glad ND threw it all out at USC. USC fans bitch to about their loses so dont say that - at least people i know. but anyways, im pretty sure theres a rule that says a player cant contact the QB in order to puch him forward liek that into the endzone - but o well who cares lol. great game.
not all cant, i can and idc we lost. and idc we still lose, i wish we did but i love ND but i also love football so i watch no matter what. opponent scores a big play - wow great play. it happens with all fans sometime. they make up an excuse for their lose. every college football tram has fans that do that - somewhere. so you cant single these guys out lol
It's not illegal against NCAA, or NFl rules to push players do it all the time , it's called teamwork, and as for who YOU said won that's not what it said on the scoreboard.
weiman808 i knew it was gonna be bad but not this bad,lets put it this way, in order to fire weis we need to spend a shit load of money, or we keep him and if i was the AD i would see how he does in the bowel game and if he wins we can keep him but ND also needs to get in a con. like the Big east or something so we can get better players or something, yeah in the past when we had Lou Holtz we didnt need it cause we had the best of the best but now look at us in a 6-6 season, ugh im way to upset.
I'm a die hard Notre Dame fan and this game was the best, yeah the push, shit happens like that alot. my thing is i wish we never got rid of TY because that was "His" class that weis stole all the fam from and i never liked weis when he came into Notre dame and now look at him today . Already talking bout getting fired, well i dont think tonights game is going to be any good but i will cheer my irish on no matter what. GO IRISH!!!
yeah, Snake, I agree with you. Weis came in making all those bold statements about his "pro-style" offensive schemes wrecking havoc on college defenses, blah blah blah. now that he has HIS players and is making the calls on offense, they go and lose to a bunch of Orangemen whose coach is a lame-duck for the season. I have to wonder who in the country actually wants Jabba-da-Hut to stay at ND?
well as we see Notre dame is 6-6, going to a bowel, my thing is if weis cant win this bowel game then he needs to be fired but the other thing is that we gave him a 10yr extended contract for what?? almost beating USC? I think Notre dame is going to go through a few bad years, my guess is 4 but it also depends on who the next coach for ND is.
I remember watching this game and being devastated when I thought th game was over and then going crazy after the td. That was a good day.
And to all the Irish people, If a USC fan says there was not a push at all, they are retarded, nobody disputes that. The fact is that pushes happen all the time, and this one is in the majority that don't get called. Finally, anyone who bitches about Pac-10 refs, all refs make bad calls. shut up. stop making up things in your bitterness
Living in the Past? Ohh Come on, give me a fucking break.
The fact that USC indeed won this game on a illegal play that if any other group of referees (besides the ones from USC's OWN CONFERENCE) that would have been called and ND would have won.
USC got what they deserved though and they will in the end when it is proven that Reggie Bush played when he was actually ineligible due to being PAID to play and have tickets for his mommy to come and watch him play. A DIRECT NCAA VIOLATION!
hey not to disagree with you at all, but i was just wondering where you are getting ur facts from cus i have been trying to find out if that whole reggie bush thing was true but then stopped, so if u could tell me, that would be cool
I know! some people JUST CAN'T PUT IT TO REST, can they?
as for removing those comments: I'm letting everyone have their say (no matter how long ago this game was) as long as no one is offensive (much, hehe). I'm a USC fan, but I'm a bigger CFB fan. a little whining and verbal noogie doesn't hurt anyone.
whoop de doo irish fans u had a chance to stop the trojans when it was 4th and 9 and allowed that 70+ yard catch to jarrett. by that point there was that feeling that sc was going to take that game from the irish
Of course Bush pushed Leinart in. What's your point? It happens all the time in college football. And yes, I'm a Trojan fan. You can cry all you want Irish fans, you don't call a penalty in that situation. If you want to win, go play Stanford or Duke. You live off all the glory from what happened 50 years ago. And now you guys suck!!
what part of football dont u understand - what the hell is a illegal push.u dumb azz..theres no such call in football..how about ND giving up a 4 and 9..thats no skills.
The Bush Push was criticized by some fans claiming that Section 3, Article 2b of the NCAA rule book states that, "[t]he runner shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in forward progress." If the penalty had been called, the push would have resulted in a five-yard penalty and another play. However, the penalty is rarely called.
honestly, having been a student at VT that year, we were hoping for either USC or Texas to lose so we could move into #2. However, ND was not robbed, if anything they screwed themselves by allowing a 60 yd pass on 4th and 9. If they had just given them a first down and kept everything in front of them they would have won. This whole 'bush push' thing is a bunch of crap. Anyone who watches football knows that lineman push their players for forward progress all the time. ND fans are sore losers.
quinn was decent, but actually had a decent surrounding cast thanks to ty willingham. weis is hardly even a head coach, he's just disgraced the program.
u know i'm a huge Notre Dame fan, and yes the end of THIS game was bullshit. but u know, ur right that this was not our year nor has it been for the last 7 or 8. but u know usc sucked for a number of years that notre dame was good too. it'll keep going back and forth as long as football is around. but even tho i hate them with a passion, usc is the best school in football RIGHT NOW!
Check out the yahoo article about how Bush is trying to intimidate Lloyd Lake. He had a "bodyguard" bring a gun into court. It's not going to work - Bush and the Condoms are going down. If it wasn't for the pro player in this amateur game, ND wins easily.
gayest play i have ever seen in my life first of all the refs end the game and then go back and say 7 sec left then they dont call the penalty on bush for pushing linert into the endzone! WTH you may of won that one but we still are winning in the overall record of this rivalry! GOOOO IRISH
Everyone bitches and complains about the Bush push yeah it's illegal, but how many times have you seen some other teams do the same thing and not see it called infact i cant remember seeing it ever called.... when the opposing coach says he'd hope his players would do the same then it isn't that big of a deal it's one of those rules you never call
wow even though that game was good, that is one of the most cheapest plays i have ever seen. ur teammate cannot push the ball carrier forward. wow and u usc fans r proud of that bush push. i hate usc. go ND!!
Dude shut up.... watch a football game at any level and you'll see the same thing when the defenders stand up the runner the offensive players will try to push them foward what's the big deal it's a rule no refs call Charlie Weiss didn't seem to care in the post game press conference infact he said he hoped that his team would have done that in the same situation shut up you lost this game and the others since plus this was 2.5 years ago get over it!
Oh yeah, NOT! They won the rose bowl. They CREAMED Notre Dame. I was at that game too, and let me tell you, all the Notre Dame fans were either drunk, pasty, of obese. Fight on!

Best ending to a game ever. ND fans rush the field thinking they've won then USC scores a TD to win the game and rip their hearts out. Years later Domers still bitch and moan.
USC did not cheat. If you can provide me evidence of one instance in which pushing a player forward like that has been called in D-1A, I'll be thoroughly astonished.

I can't give you evidence of a call like that being made, but it is a penalty to push a guy on your team with the ball. Crazy ending though.

yea but im pretty sure USC would do that to, it happened countless amounts of time in vollege football history, other team runs out - o wait no, go back. who cares lol. i was just glad ND threw it all out at USC. USC fans bitch to about their loses so dont say that - at least people i know. but anyways, im pretty sure theres a rule that says a player cant contact the QB in order to puch him forward liek that into the endzone - but o well who cares lol. great game.

It's not illegal against NCAA, or NFl rules to push players do it all the time , it's called teamwork, and as for who YOU said won that's not what it said on the scoreboard.

Even if the penalty was called they would have kicked a field goal and the game would have been tied.

weiman808 i knew it was gonna be bad but not this bad,lets put it this way, in order to fire weis we need to spend a shit load of money, or we keep him and if i was the AD i would see how he does in the bowel game and if he wins we can keep him but ND also needs to get in a con. like the Big east or something so we can get better players or something, yeah in the past when we had Lou Holtz we didnt need it cause we had the best of the best but now look at us in a 6-6 season, ugh im way to upset.

weiman808 3 years ago
I'm a die hard Notre Dame fan and this game was the best, yeah the push, shit happens like that alot. my thing is i wish we never got rid of TY because that was "His" class that weis stole all the fam from and i never liked weis when he came into Notre dame and now look at him today . Already talking bout getting fired, well i dont think tonights game is going to be any good but i will cheer my irish on no matter what. GO IRISH!!!
Snake4u90 3 years ago
yeah, Snake, I agree with you. Weis came in making all those bold statements about his "pro-style" offensive schemes wrecking havoc on college defenses, blah blah blah. now that he has HIS players and is making the calls on offense, they go and lose to a bunch of Orangemen whose coach is a lame-duck for the season. I have to wonder who in the country actually wants Jabba-da-Hut to stay at ND?
aznsketcher 3 years ago
well as we see Notre dame is 6-6, going to a bowel, my thing is if weis cant win this bowel game then he needs to be fired but the other thing is that we gave him a 10yr extended contract for what?? almost beating USC? I think Notre dame is going to go through a few bad years, my guess is 4 but it also depends on who the next coach for ND is.
Snake4u90 3 years ago
@aznsketcher
Every other team in the country wanted Weis to stay, he was making ND a joke and everyone you guys played were looking forward to it.

I remember watching this game and being devastated when I thought th game was over and then going crazy after the td. That was a good day.
And to all the Irish people, If a USC fan says there was not a push at all, they are retarded, nobody disputes that. The fact is that pushes happen all the time, and this one is in the majority that don't get called. Finally, anyone who bitches about Pac-10 refs, all refs make bad calls. shut up. stop making up things in your bitterness
bubbleman9999 3 years ago
To quote Charlie Weis: "I would have instructed my back to do exactly as Bush did."
hahahahaha It is rich to hear ND fans complaining about a referee's call. Truly rich.
Well, the beat goes on. Can't wait to see ND @ USC this year in the Coliseum. I doubt it will be as close as three year's ago.

GO USC!!! Notre Dame is definitely living in the past, always talking about their former glory, they haven't even won a bowl game in the last decade.
coldpizza33 3 years ago
Living in the Past? Ohh Come on, give me a fucking break.
The fact that USC indeed won this game on a illegal play that if any other group of referees (besides the ones from USC's OWN CONFERENCE) that would have been called and ND would have won.
USC got what they deserved though and they will in the end when it is proven that Reggie Bush played when he was actually ineligible due to being PAID to play and have tickets for his mommy to come and watch him play. A DIRECT NCAA VIOLATION!

as for removing those comments: I'm letting everyone have their say (no matter how long ago this game was) as long as no one is offensive (much, hehe). I'm a USC fan, but I'm a bigger CFB fan. a little whining and verbal noogie doesn't hurt anyone.

whoop de doo irish fans u had a chance to stop the trojans when it was 4th and 9 and allowed that 70+ yard catch to jarrett. by that point there was that feeling that sc was going to take that game from the irish
martincruz1988 3 years ago
Of course Bush pushed Leinart in. What's your point? It happens all the time in college football. And yes, I'm a Trojan fan. You can cry all you want Irish fans, you don't call a penalty in that situation. If you want to win, go play Stanford or Duke. You live off all the glory from what happened 50 years ago. And now you guys suck!!

Some say the '05 team was the best to ever come out of USC. Vince Young and Texas would prove that wrong a few months later.
kimosabi6180 3 years ago
ok. USC fans you must be the most ignorant fans ever. watch the play, it is so blatant that Bush pushed Leinart in.
notice how every controversial call comes from the Pac-10.

maj30067 3 years ago
The Bush Push was criticized by some fans claiming that Section 3, Article 2b of the NCAA rule book states that, "[t]he runner shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in forward progress." If the penalty had been called, the push would have resulted in a five-yard penalty and another play. However, the penalty is rarely called.

kevinmac81 3 years ago
honestly, having been a student at VT that year, we were hoping for either USC or Texas to lose so we could move into #2. However, ND was not robbed, if anything they screwed themselves by allowing a 60 yd pass on 4th and 9. If they had just given them a first down and kept everything in front of them they would have won. This whole 'bush push' thing is a bunch of crap. Anyone who watches football knows that lineman push their players for forward progress all the time. ND fans are sore losers.

Check out the yahoo article about how Bush is trying to intimidate Lloyd Lake. He had a "bodyguard" bring a gun into court. It's not going to work - Bush and the Condoms are going down. If it wasn't for the pro player in this amateur game, ND wins easily.
