Fresh Bush Scores

Congratulations to Louisville hero and future mayor of the city... Mr. Michael Bush. MB scored in the Raiders preseason game last night against the San Fran 49'ers. Mike scored his first TD (albeit in the preseason) since shredding the University of Kentucky in the first game of the 2006 season. His five yard plunge into the endzone put the Raiders up for good. Raiders coach had some nice things to say about the former 4th round draft choice from Male High...

"I'm very pleased with Michael," coach Lane Kiffin said. "He looked really good. I think we have something special with those three running backs."

Darren McFaddon, Justin Fargus and Bush will make up the Raiders backfield this year.

He also converted four of his five short yard attempts into first downs and taking a screen pass from Andrew Walter 23 yards. I see the Raiders using Bush as just that, a short yardage-third down back who is willing to lower is head and drop all 245 on some weak DB.

"To me that's a part of my game," said Bush, who ran for an NCAA-leading 23 touchdowns in 2005. "A running back should always be low. If you have to get that extra yardage, that's what you have to do."

Nice work Mike... Here is the entire article recapping the game
