Starting quarterback Mark Sanchez left USC practice today because of an apparent knee injury.
The junior from Mission Viejo High was taken on a cart from the locker room to be examined. He had a towel over his head and ice wrapped around his left knee.
The severity of the injury is not known at this time.
We’ll have further information as soon we learn more.

Sure sounds like a season ending injury.

This could be huge... for Sanchez but not so much for USC. I don't think the Trojans lose much of an edge at QB because of this. Mitch Mustain had 8 starts when he was at Arkansas and I think he was undefeated if I'm not mistaken.

Mitch fully expected to be running the Trojan offense a year after sitting out a season when he transferred. He has been waiting in the wings, apparently not for long. He looked very sharp in the spring and was pushing Sanchez in fall drills. Tough break for Sanchez if it turns out to be serious but a lucky break for Mustain if it's true. His transferring from Arkansas may turn out to be the right thing for him to do after all, but I hope Sanchez is OK.

USC starting quarterback Mark Sanchez suffered a dislocated left kneecap during practice today.
Coach Pete Carroll termed Sanchez’s status as a “day-to-day thing” starting Monday, when he is scheduled to begin rehabilitating the knee. He will be immobilized through the weekend.
Carroll did not rule out Sanchez being available for the season opener Aug. 30 at Virginia.
“We lucked out,” Carroll said.

I think Sanchez will be ready for Ohio State game. IF not Aaron Korp is much better than Mustain, he is the guy who shined in spring. So Cal needs a local kid, not some hill jack, Booty was a LOSER and so is Mustain. Sarkisian I dont like. Lets get the best guy in there, not this wait in line stuff becuz your not a senior.
