The Facts: Sean Payton said the model USC used with first-round draft pick Reggie Bush and fomer teammate LenDale White is similar to what New Orleans would likely do with Bush and Deuce McAllister. "There'll be the ability for us to put he and Deuce in same backfield," the coach said. "There will be a lot of questions in regards to two backs. These are good problems to have and we are looking forward to it."

Diehards Line:It's hard to imagine the Saint's rotation working as well as USC's. ... Bush averaged 8.9 yards a carry last season, caught 37 passes for 478 yards and led the nation in all-purpose yards with 222.3 per game. He shared the tailback position for three years with White, and the two combined for 99 career touchdowns to break the 60-year old NCAA record of 97.
