Reggie Bush Got 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.
“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 received 794 first-place votes on the 892 ballots cast, or 84.9 percent. His 2,541 points represented 91.7 percent of the maximum possible, and his 933-point margin over Young trailed only one other Heisman winner, fellow Trojan O.J. Simpson in 1968.
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.
