Reggie Bush says whether he is stripped of his Heisman trophy is out of his hands and that his play on the field in college speaks for itself.

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 on Thursday night.

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.
