Here is an interesting comparison between Reggie Bush and Joe McKnight after six games:

Reggie Bush in first six games of 2003 Freshman season:

34 rushes, 150 yards, 4.41 ypc, 1 TD; 2 rec, 21 yards, 0 TD
0 punt returns, 0 yards, 0 ypr; 5 kick returns, 111 yards, 22.2 ypr

Joe McKnight in first six games of 2007 Freshman season:

29 rushes, 154 yards, 5.3 ypc, 0 TD, long of 59 yards; 4 rec, 12 yards, 0 TD
4 punt returns, 64 yards, 16 ypr; 0 kick returns, 0 yards, 0 ypr

And remember, it was against Notre Dame in 2003 that Bush made his first start–at wide receiver.
