Where's The Relief?

Mark Sanchez did not leave the game until less than two minutes remained. He said he suffered what he thought was a shoulder stinger, absorbed three late hits and cut his neck. So why is was in a 28-7 game that late is a bit of a mystery, especially since knocking him out of the game would make UCLA's day.
``All of a sudden, it was over and time ran out,'' USC coach Pete Carroll said, when asked why Sanchez stayed in for so long. ``It was a championship game and we wanted to take care of it.''
