History

Historical Context

During the 2005 season, Pete Carroll’s USC Trojans entered the year unbeaten (12–0) and appeared poised for a third straight BCS title, but Reggie Bush’s season-ending ankle injury forced the team to rely on freshman Mark Sanchez. The episode highlighted USC’s depth challenges, a pattern that later programs cite when mid-season injuries threaten playoff chances.
