Ten years ago, USC and Notre Dame played one of the greatest games in their storied rivalry. It featured the “Bush Push,” one of the most memorable finishes to a game in college football history.
Trailing 31-28 with the ball on the Irish goal line and seconds left, Pete Carroll appeared to call for a spike for USC in order to kick the gimme field goal and send the game to overtime.
It was a decoy, however, as QB Matt Leinart tried sneaking it in for the game-winning score. Originally stuffed by a swarm of Notre Dame defenders, RB Reggie Bush pushed him into the end zone for the touchdown.
