Reports out of the USC campus is that Mark Sanchez will make it back for the season opener against Virginia later this month. But lets take a second and imagine that Sanchez is out for a few weeks. Where does that leave USC?
Option A: Mitch Mustain
He was one of the most decorated high school football players over the last 20 years. He won every major award that a high school player can win. He was recruited by every major college program and ended up choosing Arkansas. He came in the 4th quarter of the first game for a struggling Robert Johnson. He had a solid few drives and claimed the starter's job and proceeded to lead the Razorbacks to an 8-0 record and guided them to #11 in the country. His coach then pulled him from the starters job and he was moved back to the bench. After a rocky finished to the season Mustain decided to transfer to USC and redshirted as for a year. He is now eligible for this season and has three years left.
It is really amazing the depth of the talent pool at SC. If Sanchez were to go down for a few weeks Pete Carroll will not have to worry one bit. He has two big-league talents waiting in wings.
