2005 USC Vs. Notre Dame Football Game - The "Bush Push" Play

The "Bush Push" Play

The Bush Push was criticized by some fans claiming that Section 3, Article 2b of the NCAA rule book states that, "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. When asked about the play, Weis expressed his hope that his running back would do the same in that situation.
