Nine sacks. Was it Will Poole?
Posted by: Matt | December 6, 2006 06:49 AM
They had 8 sacks and where lead by BKU Big Kenechi Udeze with 3. Will Poole had 2 as well.

I think was 7. Pre-game hype was about their great Oline and how they protected him. Te protected him like the Maginot line protected France.

That would be 9 sacks Scott. Too bad Navarre is busy keeping the bench warm for Matt in Arizona, and won't be playing in this year's Rose Bowl.
Posted by: JJH4USC | December 6, 2006 07:46 AM
I think it was 9. I can't remember his name, but a cornerback had the most sacks, if I remember correctly. Hadn't Michigan allowed only 13 the whole season before that game?

Trojans sacked Navarre eight times (8). I don't know who had the most, I remember kenechi had one and cornerback Will Poole had a great game.
Navarre was hurried all day, and besides the first couple snaps of the first drive, never looked in rhythm (kind of like Booty in the UCLA game). One freak play: Navarre's late first half pass bounced off an offensive player's foot and into the arms of Lofa Tatupu who returned the INT to inside the five yard line.
The Wolverines tried several trick plays that did not fool the Trojan D; Our one trick play (M.Williams to M. Leinart TD pass) sealed the game in the third quarter.

Nine! I remember because at five sacks I jokingly yelled to the whole bar "I will buy everyone a round when they get ten!" When it got to eight and nine everyone starting getting excited. The last few minutes I was really rooting for the Michigan O-line....
Posted by: matthew | December 6, 2006 09:03 AM
9 total sacks...3 for Will Poole, did Kenechi Udeze also have 3?

Eight. Of course, we'll see what happens on Jan. 1, considering that John David Booty is the John Navarre of USC...
Posted by: Josh Kleinbaum | December 6, 2006 09:40 AM
I believe the trojans had 9 sacks and Manny Wright led the team.
Posted by: Chris Sisson | December 6, 2006 09:45 AM
Poole he had 3
Posted by: Adam | December 6, 2006 09:45 AM

9. Will Poole?
Posted by: SeaTrojan | December 6, 2006 10:01 AM
9 Sacks...Kenechi "BKU" Udeze had 3. Do I win anything like a new offensive coordinator for my team?
Posted by: Evan | December 6, 2006 10:04 AM
That would be 9 Scott.
Posted by: ta | December 6, 2006 10:05 AM
Follow-up to my earlier answer...USC had 9 sacks, and one of the Corners led in sacks that day. I think it was Marcell Allmond.
Posted by: Leo Norton | December 6, 2006 10:12 AM
10 sack of Navarre. But that was with Cody, Patterson and Udeze, Wild Bunch II.
Posted by: MG | December 6, 2006 10:17 AM
Nine times, Buehler. This was BKU's last hurrah before declaring early for the NFL draft.

Here's another question or 3, who holds the record for the longest winning streak between UCLA and USC in Football? Which school has been around longer? and finally which athletic department has more national championships? Score board.

Enough already regarding the head coaching job at ASU. Let's all support Lane Kiffin for the job! It works well for us...ASU gets a replica of a 1965 Novi Offenhauser Indy racer for today's Indy 500. You know, 155 mph against 235 mph. For those who think Kiffin did a good job on offense this year, I have a Novi to sell you for next years Indy 500. Coach Pete, it's time to cut the cord and let him go.
Posted by: michael wilson | December 6, 2006 01:49 PM
Navarre was sacked nine times. Kenechi Udeze had three. Will Poole blitzed often and sacked Navarre twice. Michigan had only allowed 15 sacks all season.
Posted by: SDSillySport | December 6, 2006 01:54 PM
Believe it was 9 sacks.
Posted by: Waxx | December 6, 2006 02:04 PM
I think it was 6, and I think Marcell Almond had two or three.
They could not handle the corner zone blitz.
Posted by: Shine | December 6, 2006 02:27 PM
9 times. Seems like a lot but then you have to consider Navarre moved about as well as a tackling dummy.
I'll say Kenechi Udeze led the team but I sense it isn't that obvious.
Posted by: Davey | December 6, 2006 02:41 PM
Nine. What do I win?
Posted by: vivian darkbloom | December 6, 2006 02:43 PM
9, led by Will Poole
Posted by: Jonathan | December 6, 2006 02:45 PM

BKU is the player!
Actually, how's Will Poole #28 also? Yea or nay?

USC Sacks Michigan's Navarre Early And Often
Trojans' defense finds a way to sack Wolverine quarterback nine times.
Jan 1, 2004
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
PASADENA, Calif. - Grass stains soiled John Navarre's knees, thighs, hips and backside, and blood was on his passing hand.
Navarre ended his record-setting career at Michigan on his back.
The senior was sacked nine times, including on his last two snaps, in Southern California's 28-14 win over the Wolverines in the Rose Bowl on Thursday.
"I think it swung on our inability to protect the quarterback," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said.
"It was my greatest fear coming into the game."
Michigan's heralded offensive line, with three seniors and two juniors, gave up just 15 sacks during the regular season. But the Wolverines failed to protect Navarre at the most important time.
"It's tough because it's something we take a lot of pride in," offensive tackle Tony Pape said. "It's a tremendously bad feeling to know what happened."
The top-ranked Trojans set a season high for sacks, coming off the corner with speed and collapsing the pocket with a powerful inside push. USC noticed Navarre had not been roughed up much this season, so it wanted to change that.
"We wanted to give him a little pressure, hit him a couple of times, and see how he reacted," USC safety Jason Leach said.
All the sacks - and the countless times Navarre was hurried - stunted No. 4 Michigan's high-powered offense.
And Chris Perry said it was the reason the Wolverines lost.
"Factor? That was the whole game," the star running back said.
The Wolverines were averaging 31.2 points per game, ninth in the country, and 457.3 yards, the 12th-best total in the nation.
Michigan gained 320 yards and had 25 first downs to USC's 19, but it couldn't protect Navarre enough to score more than two touchdowns.
The Wolverines had scored at least 27 points in every game this season.
Navarre was 27-of-46 passing for 271 yards with one TD and one interception. He fumbled three times after being sacked, but the Wolverines recovered each one.
USC came from all angles to harass Navarre, Michigan's most prolific passer.
All-America defensive end Kenechi Udeze sacked him three times, blitzing cornerback Will Poole knocked him down twice and USC got a consistent push up the middle.
When Navarre did have a few seconds to throw, USC's secondary often blanketed the Wolverines downfield and forced the quarterback to hold the ball longer than he wanted.
"They did have some coverage sacks," Navarre said. "And they did a good job of mixing up their blitzes."
