06:43 AM ET 08.27 | It was no surprise Tuesday night when USC's team physician cleared quarterback Mark Sanchez to start the Trojans' opener against Virginia. The word came down, however, after Sanchez's most uneven practice performance since returning from the knee injury he suffered nearly three weeks ago. The junior had two passes intercepted during the Trojans' final scrimmage drill. Coach Pete Carroll said Sanchez otherwise looked good and praised his mobility, but added, "There's some rust in there and we've got to hopefully get him clean by the weekend."

I'd start him just for the sake of letting him taste the action but sit him down early. USC is going to need all the help they can get versus Ohio State. No use in risking a more serious injury to the starter.

Here's hoping that OSU gets one big Dirty Sanchez done to them on Sept 13th!

And does this surprise anyone? They would have cleared him if he had to be taped to the RB to stand in the backfield.

I will be so glad when The Trojans mop the floor with the Buckeyes.

I'm thinking this game against UVA is going to be closer than the experts think - UVA is known to pull upsets in that stadium. We shall see!

August 27, 2008  12:08 PM ET

iamrightyourwrong... yoru an idiot .. buckeyes win big and proove to all you haters that this is their year... sanchez might suffer a broken leg when he gets hit by laurinitus..

4vrRoyal4vrLoyalBuckeyes -
I have never heard anyone run their mouth more than you. Why do live on the USC websites? Go run your mouth with your buddy-buddy buckeye partners. I dont mind seeing buckeye comments, but yours ramble on and on and make no sense other than misspelled trash talk and mumbo jumbo.

As for the UVA, OSU, and Sanchez topic-the Virginia game will be within 13 points and USC will play poorly giving the media and whacko buckyeye fans enough ammo to write off USC in the BIG GAME on Sept 13th.

That is when Sanchez gets more comfortable and beats your buckeyes. OSU should win based on talent and experience early in the season. But where will you be on Sunday when you lose to USC?

August 27, 2008  12:37 PM ET

USC's defence & RB's are insanely great! I don't think Sanchez will need to do much in the first game, RB Green will throw probably a touch down in the game.

4vrRoyal4vrLoyalBuckeyes-

I am a dawg fan...but this guy is really making me pull for USC to kill OSU....just so I know he'll probably cry over it.

"arejaydub.. i dont that so i can bring the **** you are into the mix..... you fool.. dont get mad your trojans are about to get their ^ss beat"

I'm guessing, that spelling and comprehension is not on the top of OSU's criteria.

August 27, 2008  01:18 PM ET

lol... why guys hate ... clowns.. its all good.. get yoru kleneex box out.
haters.

ohio state forever loyal forever royal .. jokers

August 27, 2008  01:22 PM ET

Corp is a big kid and from the looks of it very mobile... I thought Mustain was going to blow Sanchez and Corp out of the water in spring/fall camp. Coming to USC could have been a mistake for him.

UVA is going to be a solid test, the stadium alone will be a battle.

Stick with the running game... Short passes... Leave it in the D hands... We'll be fine.

3 Days... Fight On!

August 27, 2008  02:06 PM ET

Start him, get the rust off and let him work the kinks in the knee out before its go time! Pull him soon after that so he doesn't over do it. With as much talent as USC has that shouldn't be a problem.

I want USC at 100% so there can't be any excuses when OSU comes callin!

August 27, 2008  02:37 PM ET

Corp the number 2! So much talk on Wolf's blog all summer about mustain, too bad, I hope he keeps his head up and still battles.

4vrRoyal - you're hilarious, "teh osu"! <coughpublicstateschoolcough> we already know what you're going to say:
1. get your kleenex box (you seem to know a lot about kleenex boxes, chances of you killing it to pictures of jim tressel or OSU blogs??? 100%)
2. laurinitus is going to break sanchez' leg (class act you are)
3. ohio state forever loyal forever royal (whatever that means)
4. fear the vest! (sweet, ok)

no excuses come sept 14.
looking forward to the TB rotation (Bradford, Gable and Johnson) / WRs (maybe some new faces in the mix???) and DL (everson show up?) on saturday!

August 27, 2008  03:10 PM ET

lol you haters are hilarious..... get a freakin life ..

FOREVER LOYAL FOREVER ROYAL... STOP YOUR HATE

FEAR THE VEST

okay, i take that back.. i dont want anyone to get hurt.... my fault.. i just wish sept 13th would get here....

to answer yoru question.. yes, i have had my kleenex box out .... its been a rough couple of years for teh buckeye faithful.... however, this is coach tressels best team since taking the job in c-bus. this is osu year.

Yeah, what does "forever loyal forever royal" mean? I understand scarlet and gray...I'm asking you xxx84xxx because I've seen some of your posts and you make a lot more sense then some of these OSU fans.
