Recap: Schools out and Reggie has a passing grade as he
finished with 141 total yards. The Heisman Trophy
winner had 61 yards rushing on 14 attempts, caught eight passes for
58 yards and returned three punts for 22.
Bush made some rookie mistakes early. He misjudged Cleveland's first
punt, retreating when it sailed over his head. Late in the first
quarter, he slithered through traffic on an 18-yard run and several
other carries where he nearly got free.
Bush also dropped a third-down pass near the 5 that he might have
scored on, and the 21-year-old had other moments where he tried to
do too much.
Overall though it was an impressive debut for the rookie.
Meanwhile Drew Brees played well enough in his comeback from that
horrible shoulder injury to give Saints fans hope that this season
of rebirth could just be something special.
