No. 1 USC Unstoppable Against No. 5 Ohio State :: Trojan QB Mark Sanchez throws for four touchdowns. by lgal3824

Trojan QB Mark Sanchez throws for four touchdowns. The sound of the cheering crowd echoed through the neighborhood.

Southern California turned the most anticipated September game in years into another Trojans' victory march.
Mark Sanchez threw four touchdown passes, Joe McKnight rushed for 105 yards on 12 carries, and the top-ranked Trojans crushed No. 5 Ohio State 35-3 Saturday night in a matchup of two of college football's most successful programs.
Ohio State played without star tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells, sidelined with an injured right foot. But moving the ball wasn't the Buckeyes' biggest problem before the Trojans made it a rout. Instead, they were done in by a handful of crucial mistakes.
A holding penalty nullified a touchdown in the second quarter, and an errant throw by Todd Boeckman was intercepted and returned for a touchdown by Rey Maualuga.
By the time it was done the only question left was: Can anybody left on USC's schedule beat the Trojans (2-0) and keep them from playing for a national championship in January for the fourth time this decade?
"It worked out beautifully for us," USC coach Pete Carroll said. "Over the years, when we prepare this well and we have our guys, we're hard to beat. It doesn't matter who we play when we do that. This is what we're capable of doing, we didn't do anything out of the ordinary to get there. We had a nice night.
