Quarterback John David Booty and the USC Trojans should be celebrating at the end of next season, writes John Tamanaha.
Now that Florida has been crowned the national champion and the 2006 college football season is officially over, it’s never too early to look ahead to 2007.
Team to beat: USC. The Trojans return 10 starters to a defensive unit that made Michigan melt. The only thing tougher than scoring points against USC next season will be the actual schedule that the Trojans will face. With road games at Nebraska, Washington, Notre Dame, Oregon, California and Arizona State, Pete Carroll will have to clean up his act away from the Coliseum, having lost two of his last three road games.
Quarterback John David Booty won’t have Dwayne Jarrett or Steve Smith to throw to in 2007, but Carroll’s superb recruiting classes have a way of adequately filling shoes no matter how big. Imposing wide receivers Patrick Turner and Vidal Hazelton (one of 15 true freshmen to get their feet wet in 2006) are about to become famous.
