Celebrating USC’s historic Heisman duo on 5/11
Today’s date marks the numbers of arguably the greatest duo in college football history
May 11 is a notable date for USC football . How, you may ask? After all, we are currently in the middle of the offseason, and the Trojans will not play a game for more than three months.
No, today is notable not because of anything that happened on the day, but rather what it represents. Today’s date is 5/11, the numbers worn by perhaps the greatest duo in college football history. No.
5, of course, is running back Reggie Bush. No. 11, meanwhile, is quarterback Matt Leinart.
As teammates at USC from 2003-2005, they put together one of the most remarkable runs in college football history. During that stretch, the duo led the Trojans to back-to-back national championships and came up just short of a third. USC won 34 consecutive games from 2003 through 2005, going more than 51 consecutive months without a loss.
