LOS ANGELES -- Although former USC Trojans former Heisman winning quarterback Carson Palmer and his Arizona Cardinals were completely dominated, 49-15, by the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game, it certainly won’t detract from Palmer’s place in the pantheon of Trojans football legends.
Despite a nightmarish performance on Sunday night he’d wish to forget, Trojans everywhere will always be appreciative of what Palmer meant in USC’s resurgence in the early years of the Pete Carroll era, especially during a time when many college football fans wondered if USC would ever return as a national power.
