Why was USC playing with Booty until late in the 4th quarter and throwing the ball, stopping the clock, etc? Was it not evident that they had already won by then? :|

I was curious about the same thing. I figured it would have been a good time to put in the second or even third string for some more playing time.

crazy... I thought USC would be completely drained this year but they reloaded like mad. Mr. Booty looks like the real deal.

We like to keep our average score high.

First start for Booty, so they probably wanted to get a lot of reps in and make sure he was comfortable during game situations.
