Notre Dame vs. USC

As for the game...I'll simply post what the NY Times had to say:

Replays showed that the ball flew back at least a yard, but officials placed the ball's nose just inches from the goal line.

Leinart then sealed the victory with another charmed play. After pushing into his offensive line unsuccessfully, he twisted his body to his right and was pushed into the end zone by running back Reggie Bush. With two hands, Bush shoved Leinart's chest to allow him to stumble backward over the goal line through a gap between the center and the left guard.

Bush admitted to pushing Leinart into the end zone after the game, even though it is a violation.

According to Section 2, Article 2b of the N.C.A.A. rulebook, "The runner shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in forward progress."
