Which is amazing because when he was here at USC, his career was somewhat mediocre. He had a good senior season, but before that his numbers were unimpressive:
*Overall in 2001 while starting all 12 games, he completed 221-of-377 passes (58.6%) for 2,717 yards with 13 TDs and 12 interceptions.
*Overall in 2000 he completed 228-of-415 passes (54.9%) for 2,914 yards and 16 TDs with 18 interceptions.
In 1999 he broke his collarbone in week 3 and sat out the season.
So not bad, per se, most folks around here thought he could go the route of Rob Johnson but he has definitely become a superior QB.
