The play that didn't just win a game; it broke the rulebook. On October 15, 2005, the sports world stopped. It was #1 USC vs. #9 Notre Dame in South Bend. The Irish, wearing their "lucky" green jerseys, had the Trojans on the ropes. After a 61-yard "fourth-and-nine" prayer from Matt Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett, USC found themselves on the 1-yard line with seven seconds left. Instead of spiking the ball to settle for a field goal, Pete Carroll signaled for a sneak. Leinart was met at the goal line by a wall of Irish defenders and was nearly stopped—until Reggie Bush vaulted forward and shoved him into the end zone as time expired. It was a play that sent Notre Dame fans into a frenzy of heartbreak and USC fans into a state of euphoria. As of February 2026, this play is no longer a "scandalous" infraction; it’s the blueprint for the modern "Tush Push" that dominates the NFL today. Was the Bush Push the most "genius" uncalled penalty in sports history? 👇 #BushPush #USCFootball #FightOn...
