...John David Booty has won the starting job for the Sept. 2 opener at Arkansas over redshirt freshman Mark Sanchez, Pete Carroll said after practice.Carroll maintained through fall camp that the experience of Booty, going into his fourth season after returning healthy from April back surgery, had given the redshirt junior the clear advantage.
Booty's teammates backed that judgment Friday, electing him team captain along with a trio of seniors -- center Ryan Kalil and linebackers Dallas Sartz and Oscar Lua. Kalil is from Corona, Lua from Indio.
"I'm thrilled with the choices they made," Carroll said. "These guys have been terrific. They've done it the way I like best, by the way they work, not by making speeches."...
