For now, Booty is the No. 1 QB - LA Daily News
...Carroll has anointed junior John David Booty as the No. 1 quarterback over freshman Mark Sanchez before the first practice, but that's not official until they actually compete for the job.

"I need to pick somebody to go first," Carroll said. "John David's got two full years on Mark. He's clearly ahead by experience. But they have to compete."

The least surprised person about Booty's temporary designation is Sanchez.

"Being three years older than me, it's not surprising John David is penciled into the starting spot," Sanchez said.

Booty is certainly ahead of where Leinart was three years ago...

...Wide receiver Chris McFoy, who considered not returning for his senior season because he graduates this spring, will play. Cornerback Mozique McCurtis, hampered last season by a hernia, is healthy for spring practice.
