Fr. Fr., OT Travis Watkins, Sr., OG Kyle Williams, So., OT. . QB John David Booty; QB Mark Sanchez; RB Chauncey Washington; RB C.J. 2 tackler last season. Williams came out of 2004 spring drills as the frontrunner on the right side and Baker was the starter on the left. Senior Matt Grootegoed (41 tac, 4.5 for loss, 1.5 sack, 1 dfl, 1 FR, 2 FF), who has started the past 3 years at strongside linebacker (he'll be on the weakside in 2004), has a knack for always being around the ball. We'll have a very competitive environment each day to determine playing time and starting roles. Only 2-year starting weakside linebacker Melvin Simmons is gone (he had 55 tackles and 3 fumble recoveries last season). Joining the signalcalling corps this fall as a freshman is prep All-American Rocky Hinds (St. Bernard High in Playa del Rey, Calif.). for the first time ever. He assumed control of the job immediately and soon was playing like a veteran. [10] The Trojans dominated the Rams en route to a 490 shut out, led by running back LenDale White who ran for 123 yards on 14 carries, scoring three touchdowns. [29] LenDale White ran for 118 yards and three touchdowns while Matt Leinart passed for 280 yards and three more scores; the game guaranteed USC a spot in, at worst, the Rose Bowl[30], After two weeks off, the Trojans were visited by the rival Fighting Irish, led by Coach Tyrone Willingham, in the inter-sectional rivalry for the Jeweled Shillelagh. "I'm confident that our players are getting the best coaching in the country. Fr. USC wound up being stripped of all wins in 2004 and 2005 and its BCS national championship in 2004. Senior tight end Matt Cassel could be his backup. So we must take our game to the next level and be ready for everyone's best shot.". In the process, Leinart has thrust himself to the front of this year's Heisman race and is also a leading candidate for the Davey O'Brien Award. [32] The Trojans set a record for home wins (including pre-Coliseum), with their 21st victory; coincidentally, the previous team to defeat them at home were the Stanford Cardinal then-under Coach Willingham. But Justice will not participate in 2004 because of a student conduct violation. There's a lot of leadership in this group. It was the Trojans' first undisputed national championship since 1972, and the second time a team had gone wire-to-wire, with the Trojans holding the number 1 spot in the polls all season. "We did a great job offensively last season," said Carroll.
