Here's just another example of where WAC football is lining up amongst "all" other conferences:

Chat with Reggie Bush
by ESPN.com

ESPN: "Who is the toughest team you've played all year? Who is the best player (offense or defense) you've played against?"

Reggie Bush: Toughest team this year was probably Notre Dame -- although I hate to admit it. (laughs) They took us all the way down to the wire and gave us a run for our money. We made a lot of mistakes too, to give them the chance to remain in it.

" As for the toughest player, I don't know. The guy that sticks out is #42, the safety for Hawaii, he was just everywhere, involved in everything. I don't know his name but he was fast and he was a great player and everytime I got tackled, he was there."

This isn't meant to be a boast or anything like that. It's just another example of the WAC Conference...and where it's at... and where it's going...

Reggie Bush is one of the greatest football players to every play the game, and he points out that the toughest player that he's played against...is in the WAC.

...and the WAC is going to be way better next year.

As for #42 (Leonard Peters), he hurt his knee in the 4 qtr of the USC game and didn't play again this season. He's applying for a medical red-shirt and may be back next year. Let's hope.

Cheers to the new WAC and our first full season together.
