"He just looks like what an 'SC quarterback should look like." That's what Chris Fowler said upon introducing Sam Darnold to the world before the 2017 Rose Bowl against Penn State.
In one aspect, he's not wrong. Since 1975, all but two starting quarterbacks for Southern California have looked like Sam Darnold. Rodney Peete started four seasons at USC in the mid-1980s before playing for a decade and a half in the NFL, and Reggie Perry started 10 games as a sophomore in 1991 before -- of course -- being moved to wide receiver in the CFL.
