Yeah, this kid made the right decision. Mark Sanchez is supposedly pretty filthy and I don't blame him for not wanting to sit behind him and whoever else that factory is churning out when all that's ahead of him at ASU is Rudy Carpenter.Nobody said they wouldn't...
It's not really the 'sky is falling' scenario you're making it it out to be in Trojan Land, they still have JDB and Mark Sanchez for the next four years and another QB who is supposedly better than the guy ASU just got that will sign on Wednesday. That's the reason he'll be in Tempe and not Watts, he was a luxury to the latter and is a necessity to the former.
Like the back-to-back stellar seasons that Oregon and Cal have put together in recent years? That hasn't gotten those programs in the same conversation as USC.
USC hasn't lost at home nor by more than a touchdown since John Mackovic and Dirk Koetter's first year at their respective Arizona schools. Even in their "rebuilding" years - such as Leinart and Bush's first years starting and this last year under Booty they won the Pac with little resistance. Anyone can see that USC is light years ahead of the rest of the Pac-10 in every important factor - tradition, recruiting base, fan support, football budget, and most importantly coaching and player talent already in the pipeline.
I'll take scraps from USC anyday...I have no delusions about being able to compete with them, but a few years of success under Erickson, and who knows?
The whole situation with Mustain is pretty shady, he left becase Nutt promised him he would install the offense his HS coach ran and he eventually went back on his word and ran the offense Mustain wasn't familiar with. He certainly was not great, but a true frosh QB going 6-1 as a starter when he had spent the entire offseason thinking he was going to redshirt certainly is not something to be down about.
