Matt Leinart became the 43rd person with USC ties (including 32 players) to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He is one of 13 inducted in this year’s class.
The others: Notre Dame linebacker Bob Crable, San Diego State running back Marshall Faulk, Michigan State wide receiver Kirk Gibson, Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning, Texas offensive tackle Bob McKay, Texas A&M linebacker Dat Nguyen, Georgia Southern running back Adrian Peterson, Boston College nose guard Mike Ruth and New Mexico defensive back Brian Urlacher along with coaches Danny Ford of Clemson and Arkansas, Larry Kehres of Mount Union and Steve Spurrier of Duke, Florida and South Carolina.
Boy Wolf, this has really got to piss you off. I like how you posted a picture of Leinart with you in the background. Did you have anything written down in your notebook? Or were you waiting to copy someone elses work?
For any new comers to this dog-and-pony-show blog, Scott, back in the day, never let any perceived Leinart slight, real or imagined, go unanswered. Years after Leinart graduated, Wolf would still take potshots at Leinart. It wasn’t until Scottie found a “bigger” nemesis, Lane Kiffin, that he would finally leave Matt alone.
Scottie’s pettiness belies the fact that Matt Leinart is perhaps the greatest QB of the BCS era. In his career as a starting QB, Leinart lost two games — overtime to Cal in his third game, and the BCS final to Texas, his last game. He may not have been the most athletic, had the stongest arm, are had been the best pro prospect, but he was a winner from whom all future USC QBs will be measured.
Well stated!
In your face SW.
Just another example of USC dominance in college football. The train keeps moving along with more and more USC players aboard every year.
Congrats to Leinart. Big-time player. I’ll never forget his classic audibilized throw to Jarrett on 4th and 9 in South Bend. What a performance that day by Leinart.
AND HE RETURNED FOR HIS SENIOR YEAR…loyalty and fidelity over money…I will always respect him for that
Matt deserved it – good for him!
Well deserved induction for Matt Leinart. I am surprised that Marshall Faulk is just now being inducted, that guy was amazing in college.
He always made defenders miss him in the open field
Living in SD at the time,I was able to take in a few of Faulks games.Loved it.
With that, it’s time for a Matt Leinart quote:
“Sam Darnold has a chance to go down as the one of the greatest Trojans of All Time…Ice in his veins!”
— Matt Leinart
Maybe other’s saw this; On the R..als site.Reporter Scott S. was in an elevator at Army All Star Saturday game leaving press Box.7-10 reporter’s were talking about how they didn’t care for the new Dos XX man. S.S said from behind that “Sam Darnold was the Most Interesting Man in the World” They all turned around and laughing and nodding Agreed.
Look at that poor, poor man in the Capital One soccer jersey.
No Kidding. One of the greatest plays in SC history, and he looks bored.
Great game, great picture of “The Bush Push”
Matty most deserves being in the CHOF. He was a difference maker who delivered when it counted. He has the wins to prove it.
That’s a great picture, except for the dork with the Notts Forrest jersey in the background.
I suggest a “What’s Wolf thinking in this picture” contest.
My entry – “That’s an amazing comeback. How the hell am I gonna put a negative spin on it?”.
How about: “God, I wish I could play a man’s game”
How about: “Too bad USC won. I’m going to find a 5th grade quarterback I can start blogging about”
Pizza tonight – pepperoni or meat lovers?
WTF, everybody seems engaged in the game and the Blogger appears to be looking upwards to the sky.
Another award for Sam Darnold .. Freshman of the YEAR by The FWAA
✌
I do not know what happened in the Pros but as a college athlete he was as good as it got. He was a playmaker.
Congratulations to him.
Is that Clay Helton upper left in photo?
Scotty was thinking about his bromance with Kiffin.
