Second Best?
The scout team gave the first unit everything it could handle and more in today's mock game. The starters won 23-21, but only after USC coach Pete Carroll controversially awarded another play at the end when the clock might have expired, which allowed quarterback John David Booty to throw a touchdown pass to C.J. Gable.
The highlight of the scrimmage was a touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez to freshman wide receiver David Ausberry.
``It was a great, spirited day when guys could be looking to get out of here,'' Carroll said.

So we can't even beat the scout team?? That is supposed to make me feel good? That Shareece Wright, Nick Howell, Jamel Williams and Jody Adewale can beat our first team? How are we going to do against michigan then?

Uh, oh. First team losing to the scout squad? One thing for sure is that Michigan isn't going to be playing their scout squad in the Rose Bowl. Let's hope that it's just a holiday lapse.

JD, the guy with 'Feet of Clay'. So Pete gives the Starters another set of downs so they can beat the gopher squad and go off on holiday feeling good about themselves, oh how nice.

on the surface its not looking good and as for JDB, no comment but how can the D give up 21 to the scout team or were these points due to the offenses miscues
