So after seeing this 30 for 30 about Maurice Clarett, I realized that wow, yeah, this kid could ball out. Clarett was a straight beast in high school and had some absolutely ridiculous runs

BUT, was he better than Reggie? I still think, to this day, that Reggie Bush's high school highlight tape is the best thing I have ever seen. I mean any time you get over a million views on a high school highlight tape you know you are the real deal. Straight filth.

But lets not forget the ill-advised pitch fumble against Texas in the '06 national championship.

But then again maurice clarett completely fucked up his future by doing his whole "let's go to the NFL after my freshman year even though I'm 100% not allowed to" tidbit. His stats though were still impressive having over 1,300 yards from scrimmage and 18 TDs as a true freshman.
In Reggie's first year as the feature back, his junior year, he had over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 18 TDs and then went on to win the Heisman*
Don't care if Clarett was a freshman and Reggie spent 3 years at USC. Reggie wins. Always.
