USC's Booty Gets Heisman Call

Although he can probably hang loose for now, USC quarterback John David Booty has caught the eye of someone at the Downtown Athletic Club. The organizers of the Heisman Trophy have asked Heritage Hall to prepare background on the redshirt junior in anticipation that John David will represent USC at the ceremony.

It seems unlikely that Booty would get the call to become the fourth Trojan in five years to win the stiff-arm, however compared to the Heisman Trophy winning seasons of Matt Leinart and Carson Palmer, Booty is statistically better at this point in terms of touchdowns and interceptions.

What's more, Booty has four, HUGE, nationally-televised games against quality opponents between now and December to make his mark on the Heisman race...or at least play his way into a free trip to the Big Apple.
