    I love the difference of opinion on whether or not the lateral was a good idea.

    Bush:
    Bush felt especially bad about the fumble he was charged with at the outset of the second quarter. He tried an ill-advised lateral deep in Texas territory. USC was leading 7-0 at the time.
    "That cost us some momentum," Bush said. "But I'd done it before, and it had worked for me. I was just trying to make a play. We tried to do too much tonight."

    Carroll:

    Bush, in what was likely his final game in a USC uniform, gained 82 yards and scored once. But that fumbled lateral attempt left Pete Carroll almost speechless. "That's crazy," said Carroll. "That's so far out of line with the way we think and perform, I can't believe it."
