like with Pete Carroll has told me said hey Matt don't think about replacing Carson Palmer the Heisman Trophy winner you're succeeding him he won the job in this summer clearly by being a great decision maker and managing the football team he's got to keep his poise here in Auburn today and find a way to get the ball in the hands of his dynamite playmakers on the outside two wide receivers senior carry culvert and sophomore Mike Williams for USC to have a chance to win these two guys have to have big gains and the beauty of having two great wide receivers a defense can scheme to take away one very difficult to take away two three wideouts two to the right Campbell straight drop back gets protection now has to scamper to his right in and out intercepting picked off by the first number twenty makes the first big why of his career the ball tipped and with the pitch and watch the pressure that us he is going to get with their front floor they just rushed for and they first Campbell out of the pocket and then this is dangerous throwing back across his body and the ball is actually tipped by Kevin are back last year the totality of his playing experience behind Carson Palmer he had two snaps against Colorado he had three series against Oregon and one snap against UCLA [Music] [Applause] deep in the endzone touchdown Matt Leinart first completion as a collegiate goes for a touchdown and he went to the right guy wide receiver Mike Williams is six foot five and every bit of 230 pounds he was in the slot he ran the slant and he's a huge target in there he's as big as most tight ends take a look now what Matt Leinart sees now remember he's six five so he's got good sight and he pros does six five returns six starters from a year ago very tough to run against

up quickly quick setup pass complete to the tight end and he's now equaled the number of catches he had all of last season pushed down y'all play Busch plates the first contact and picks up a cover Reggie Bush really a sensation in two days this fall I think he's the real deal I mean they've got three outstanding looking freshmen and this guy is the flashiest of all the good backs that we'll see on the field today this guy's probably the fastest and he was a great sprinter in high school and he has the ability to take it to the endzone every time he touches it the other two freshmen for USC LenDale White and Chauncey Washington are more pounding type running backs this guy is flashing second down seven they always set back his here comes the Blitz waterparks whoops deep web side there's Williams and he is so big that Mike Williams has a first down at the 10 yard line he's a huge target but credit that USC offensive line they picked up the Blitz no problem and that liner again he's 6 5 so he's able to stay in there watch the Blitz come and watch the offensive lineman just kind of sink in and stone them all and lineart able to stay right in there and make the clean throw to Mike Williams and again ok that's a little bit to him already one for a touchdown Ryan Killeen from 28 yards away and it's good threes few balls guessing right there comes the corner blitz jail and Jill Arrington Ayers liner goes back to his right and makes the catch and Mike Williams is free all the way to the 25-yard line [Applause] began boy he does what shark there's and a poor effort at tackling

Chauncey Washington LenDale White lemon suburban Denver area played at Denver south and Littleton Chatfield there became the all-time leading rusher in collar Carroll now Coach Carroll you would able to take control of this ballgame early take the crowd out of it how pleased are you at the poise of Matt liner they met on a nice job I don't feel like we've taken this ground out of there of controlled anything yet we're sure hoping we can come back and play a heck in the second half looking forward to seeing these guys come back out and respond after halftime like we have in the past so it'll tell the story today but we haven't great opportunity that's for sure hi Jill thank you Matt Leinart for the first half 8 of 13 74 yards and to turn their stadium why Tabitha's these messages

England faith 42 yard every [Applause] [Music] easily daya's Matt Leinart had and his first start as a collegian all in all pretty good bear is efficient this is why he won the good decisions he managed he got the ball in the hands of the playmakers he did it all summer and he's doing it tonight he's made very few mistakes either mentally or physically in this game so far it hasn't been brilliant in terms of numbers but it's been very effective is the only setback to tight ends catches the ball after it slipped out of his hair vertigo was [Applause] I'm second down 'banahna Marcel Ullman hit him and knock the ball loose and it's a scrum right now who is strongest at the bottom of the pile and it looks like the Trojans got recovers the fumble it's a good throw it's a good catch by Oba Manu but watch the hit by Marcel Ullman number eight oh it was gruta good I'm sorry grew to good hit him first and then almond came in and ripped the ball out and Bing comes up with a fumble we saw a grew to good on the sack now we see him in past coverage with the big hit a physical aggressive fast defense that is totally put the Auburn offense in disarray 2 for 2 tonight [Applause] and just inside the write-up life locked down for a loss at the 40-yard line first Jason Campbell out of the pocket that time Mary [Applause] there Alabama ties he was born in this state and moved to California when he was three years old and q he makes the sign he's coming from the outside and he just runs right by the tight end and that's the backup tackle Jonathan Palmer who is in the game for Markus McNeil and he was late on the switch and he didn't pick up that rush from the Ramji stripped the ball out recovers its now the Southern California Dennis if the light breaks free touchdown [Applause] affecting us see but it also has affected the home team missed tackles can't get off blocks tired defense [Music] we saw the beginning of the ten-yard chain [Applause] [Music] again a lot about Matt Leinart tonight in his poise and his first start there was so much made this summer of the new quarterback coming to the USC campus John David booty from Shreveport Evangel high school in Louisiana very unique story and a lot of people speculated that that he would come in and compete and one of the reasons he came as early as he did was because he had a chance to compete but Matt Leinart clearly won the job John David booty is going to be an outstanding quarterback graduated from Angela Mike Williams out of the tackle and then powder bound with a gain all the way out to the 44 yard line well John David Bowie was scheduled to play his senior season at Evangel this is the school that also featured his brothers Josh booty his dad Johnny booty was the coach one of the coaches there and was released back in the spring and John David booty needed only one course English course to graduate early he took it in the summer and went out to Southern California and many believe he is the quarterback of the future there's Matt Cassell Pat Haden of course not a Heisman winner but a Rhodes Scholar and one of the good guys I get to sit next to some smart guy that time you know he's smarter than me it's in his first game of the 2003 season whiner got it at Husson and three in 69 a Heisman Trophy winner selected number one is OJ Simpson they had wild punch1 back then a returning all-conference tackled Sid Smith at 69 but how about the lashline yeah Ohio State was the defending national champs in 69 that's freaky [Applause] toss right Jhansi Washington number 25 boo from the

Ugh...I was at this game.

Little blurb from it - the Auburn radio broadcaster had recently died and the athletic department decided to create a new tradition based on him.

His trademark call for a touchdown was a Touchdownnnnnnnn Auburnnnnnnnnn (original right? lol). So for the new season the idea was to have the crowd do it. Once side (the home side) would all yell TOUCHDOWN, and then the other side would yell AUBURN.

Think of something like Denver fans yelling first down.

So anyways, here we are, in the top 10 at home with title dreams and USC comes to town.

Yea....we didnt score any touchdowns. Then we didnt score any touchdowns in the next game against Ga Tech.

The tradition died before we ever even tried it.

You can still hear it with Rob Bramlett's radio call, but I'll never forget how much this game sucked.
