Sanchez plays like Heisman frontrunner in USC romp

LOS ANGELES — What we learned from No. 1 Southern Cal’s resounding victory over No. 5 Ohio State:

1. Super Sanchez
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new leader in the race for the Heisman Trophy. A month ago, there were doubts whether Mark Sanchez would play in this game because of a dislocated kneecap. Now he’s at the top of the list of Heisman candidates.
College football’s high individual honor is all about playing big in big games, and Sanchez was nearly flawless against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Add that to a big game against Virginia in the season opener — and the fact that he plays for the nation’s top-ranked team — and it’s clear where this race is headed.
