Mark Sanchez's 17 passes against Stanford were the fewest by a USC quarterback since Carson Palmer attempted 14 against Washington in 2001, Coach Pete Carroll's first season.

Mustain for QB 2009!
Wow, a vastly overmatched 1-3 USC team went on the road to play the #11 team in the country; rushed the ball effectively all day long and, if not for a last second field, would have pushed the Huskies into overtime.
Sounds like that actually might have been the game that started the "turnaround" for Pete Carroll and the Trojans. Forget that Hackett's run, run, pass, punt strategy rarely (pronounced NEVER) worked.
Obscure and meaningless stat. I, for one, would be extremely excited if USC did not pass a single time the rest of the season as long as the games are won.
Passing game is exciting, but most losing teams have decent passing numbers...and lots of turnovers.
