PinnacleSports Lists USC Tailback As Clear Heisman Favorite

WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (November 22, 2005)- For one week Texas quarterback Vince Young overtook USC's Reggie Bush as the Heisman Trophy favorite at leading online sportsbook PinnacleSports.com. Young's reign as the favorite to win college football's most prestigious award was short-lived, as Reggie Bush exploded for over 500 all-purpose yards on Saturday to regain his status as Heisman frontrunner at PinnacleSports.com.

Before last Saturday's games kicked-off, PinnacleSports.com listed the
Longhorn quarterback as a 1/2 favorite to win the 2005 Heisman Trophy and
had Bush with the second-best odds at 3/2. After playing the game of his
life against Fresno State, Bush catapulted back into the Heisman lead and
is now listed as an overwhelming 1/5 favorite to win the award. Despite
accounting for 30 total touchdowns while leading second-ranked Texas to an
undefeated season thus far, Vince Young's Heisman hopes now appear to be a
mere pipe dream as he now finds himself a slight underdog at 7/1 odds. USC
quarterback Matt Leinart, who began the season as an overwhelming 13/10
favorite at PinnacleSports.com, is now a distant 100/1 long shot to become
only the second two-time Heisman winner in NCAA history.

"Following his electrifying performance in Saturday's win, there's no
doubt the voters will favor Bush in his Heisman campaign," said Simon
Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "Although Vince Young has two games
remaining before the Heisman Trophy ceremony on December 10th, it would
take a Herculean effort for him to defeat the Trojan's workhorse in this
race."
