So much, early on, for rebuilding.
Some preliminary thoughts:
1. John David Booty went to school on learning the offense over the past two years.
2. Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith, probably the best receiving tandem in the country, are going to be huge.
3. These guys are fast.
4. The defense: opportunistic as usual.
5. Booty. I mean, wow.
Of course, you never know from one game. This might be an Arkansas team that ends up 4-7. But--running, passing, line play, turnovers considered--the evening could hardly have gone better.

I couldn't be happier with how USC performed in their first game of the season. The defense was much faster than they were last year (we would have won the Rose Bowl if the defense had actually attempted to put pressure on Vince Young early on). And what I was looking for from Booty was not just good numbers and an accurate arm (both of which were on display) but confidence and leadership. Leinart's greatest strength was his ability to run an offense, to check on the line, to make smart choices. It looks like we have all those things in Booty.
