Reggie Who? College Stars Stumped by Heisman Legend!
Football Fans Stunned: Big Ten Players Don't Know Reggie Bush!
Are you feeling old? A recent video from Big Ten Media Days is making waves, and it's not for the reasons you might think. CBS Sports decided to test college football players' knowledge of the game's history, presenting them with a photo of Reggie Bush celebrating his 2005 Heisman Trophy win. The results? Shockingly hilarious and a little bit heartbreaking for fans of the game.
Several players struggled to identify the USC legend, with one hilariously mistaking Bush for NBA superstar LeBron James! Another guessed Adrian Peterson, while others confessed they were too young to remember Bush's dominant college career. The video quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions from fans who couldn't believe that some of today's college athletes are unfamiliar with such an iconic figure.
Reggie Bush was a force to be reckoned with during his time at USC (2003-2005). He amassed over 3,000 rushing yards, 1,300 receiving yards, and 38 total touchdowns. He was a two-time All-American and a two-time Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year. His stellar performance led the Trojans to back-to-back national championships in 2003 and 2004.
The Reactions Are Priceless
The internet is buzzing with reactions to the video. Many fans expressed disbelief and amusement, while others lamented the perceived lack of historical knowledge among current players. Some suggested that the Big Ten should require its players to watch Reggie Bush highlights. One Twitter user summed it up perfectly, saying, "This hurts my soul."
- "That looks like LeBron James," – Wisconsin center Jake Renfro
- "Is that Adrian Peterson?" – Oregon linebacker Bryce Boettcher
- "I was like 2 when that happened," – Nebraska offensive lineman Henry Lutovsky
While it's all in good fun, the incident serves as a reminder of how quickly time flies and how important it is to preserve the history of the game. Maybe it's time for a mandatory Reggie Bush film session in Big Ten locker rooms!
