Shake, Shake, Shake…Shake, Shake, Shake…Shake Your Booty

USC is shaking its Booty (literally) at opponents, showing that they are still in it to win it. Well, to win the Rose Bowl at least – the ship has sailed on the National Championship for them.

I have a confession to make. I don’t like USC. There are few teams that I can’t stand, but that’s one of them. That said, I admire a good team game when I see one, and last night’s game against #6 Arizona State was a thing of beauty.

The teams went point for point for a while, with a second quarter scoreboard showing us 17 all. Yesterday, I predicted a USC win, and QB John David Booty and the Trojans didn’t disappoint. The Sun Devils began to fall apart and whatever any of the coaches said in the locker room didn’t work. USC stopped ASU dead in their tracks on almost every play (ASU QB Rudy Carpenter was sacked 6 times), and Booty was on point, throwing for 375 yards and 4 touchdown passes.

Final score? 44 – 24. Ouch, ASU. That hurts.

USC has one more game – UCLA – and will likely play Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. And hey, maybe Booty even still has a chance for the Heisman if he has another major day. You never know.
