Former USC Trojan John David Booty- Couldn’t live up to the hype set by previous USC quarterbacks?
I love and respect JDB, but I feel his lack of respect from some SC fans stems from his attempt of following up to the success of Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.
In some aspects, we thought Booty would dominate the game in the same regard. As a highly regarded football prospect from his youth, we raised our expectations too high for Booty.
We expected him to win every game and win the heisman. We expected two national championships.
Everything less than these expectations and he’s considered a failure. A great player, but no Carson or Matt.
John David Booty had an unbelievable career at USC. He was a Trojan with a tremendously heart as demonstrated by his willingness to continue to play against Stanford with a broken finger.
It will be interesting to see how Mark Sanchez gets treated. He has a injury that might limit his play for the first game against Virginia. If his injury continues, will the SC fans look at Corps or Mustain for success and leave Sanchez in the dust?
Football is like life, very unpredictable and being at the right place at the right time. Just ask anyone whose name isn’t Emmanuel Moody.

Fight On, USC Trojans!
