For all the hype USC has gotten this decade they have exactly one BCS championship and a bunch of blowout victories over hapless Big 10 teams in what is essentially a home game in the Rose Bowl. They have more "hey, we might not have won the national championship, but we were the best team at the end of the season" titles than actual national championship titles. OK I had to rant, on to the real story...
Sam Bradford deciding to come back means that Mark Sanchez probably slides up into the #2 position for QBs in the draft. Naturally, Sanchez decided to bolt for the money. This is a big setback for the Trojans because the offense was expected to carry the team next season. This decision means USC will not be competing for a national championship in 2009 and Pete Carrol is not pleased about that. Carrol took a huge dump on what should have been one of the happiest days in Sanchez's life. You can see what he had to say here.
Here is a nice little snippet of what ol' Petey had to say:
"Mark is going against the grain on this decision and he knows that. He knows that coming out early is a tremendous challenge for a quarterback and the statistics don't back up that it's easy to be successful in the way that he's going about it."
