Reggie Bush says whether he forfeits his Heisman trophy is out of his hands and that his play on the field in college speaks for itself. The former Southern Cal running back says he "cannot confirm or deny" whether he's met with anyone from the Heisman Trust and has no comment on a Yahoo! report that says he could be stripped of the award by the end of the month. Bush says he hasn't even thought about whether he'd actually return the trophy if asked and stresses that his focus is on the New Orleans Saints' season opener against the Minnesota Vikings tonight. The NCAA found major violations in USC's football program and levied serious sanctions against the school in June. The Trojans have dissociated themselves completely from Bush.
