I kept seeing that repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, over and over on film,” Bush explained. ““Technically, yes, I was supposed to be on the tight end, but off of film study, I just saw that every play (they ran out of that formation), Mike Wallace was coming fast across the middle and Ben Roethlisberger would always hit him.“And so the Super Bowl came up, I acted like I didn’t know the play and I just jumped the route. I guess you could say high-risk, high-reward. And it worked out.”</blockquote>
