Vince Young doesn't want Reggie Bush's Heisman, Shaun Hill has followers and more
Heisman Trophy finalists quarterback Vince Young, left, of Texas, and running back Reggie Bush of Southern California, pose for a photo with the Heisman Trophy five years ago before Bush was awarded the honor. There will be no 2005 Heisman winner now that Reggie Bush has returned the award from that year. The head of the Heisman Trophy Trust said Wednesday that the 2005 award will be vacated. Former Texas quarterback Vince Young finished a distant second to Bush in the voting that year.

Vince Young has always been a talented quarterback, capable of doing of different things.
Apparently, quickly shifting his direction remains one of them.
Only a couple of days after the Tennessee Titans class said "he definitely wanted" Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy should it be vacated, Young had a change of heart Wednesday.
Young, who finished a distant second in the Heisman race five years ago, said Wednesday he isn't interested in the award, agreeing college football's most prestigious award should remain vacated.
