Final Score: USC 32 - Michigan 18
Monday, January 1st - 5:00 PM Eastern - ABC
Southern Cal vs. Michigan
recap by Don Prather
Any feelings of Michigan deserving a second shot at Ohio State were put to rest on Monday as USC's defense dominated the Wolverine offense in this one. John David Booty showed some signs that he can and will be a good if not great QB for the Trojans over the next couple of seasons. Dwayne Jarrett, had a great game, but definitely showed some Terrell Owens like tendencies as he taunted Michigan defenders multiple times for which he was never flagged. Michigan's offense never got on track in this one until it was too late. Pete Carroll, whether he likes it or not, is very likely to be sitting on top of most the pre-season polls next August.
