Marleau and Cheechoo each had 28; Sturm had 21 goals when he was injured.Marleau and Sturm "were secondary, character-support players and you didn't know if they could handle the limelight and leadership, but they have," Wilson said. On a night like Tuesday, it was easy to see how that could be possible.And just think of what could happen when Bynum returns and the Lakers can put such size, presence and scoring skill down low."It's great. This was a game we could have won," said the Huskies' Louis Rankin of Ty Willingham.The other coach agreed."We almost beat ourselves tonight, we tried really hard," Carroll said.Carroll is known for having his team ready to play these sucker games that often fool distracted powerhouses.Oklahoma may lose to Colorado, and Florida may lose to Auburn, but USC rarely loses to a young and struggling team such as Washington."Explanation, no, I don't have that," Carroll said.There are a couple of clues, though.First, the Trojans have not seemed to jell under Booty's leadership, which is scattered and inconsistent.Four games into the season, and he seems like a different quarterback than the one who led them to a Rose Bowl victory last January over Michigan.While he completed 20 of 37 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown Saturday, Booty was intercepted twice and missed badly on several big passes, while his receivers dropped several others.Plus, of course, there were the usual couple of batted-down passes that have come to plague his time here."I think it's fixable," said Booty, who complained of a slick ball.Second, it seems like the running backs can't find the rhythm required to lead the Trojans on long, clock-killing drives.While Stafon Johnson and Chauncey Washington combined for 234 yards, they did it more with big gains than consistent gains.When the Trojans needed to protect the lead in the fourth quarter, three of their four drives were only three plays each.Would it help, at some point, to stick with one running back? Maybe give the ball to Johnson, who leads the team in rushing and has proved he can run both inside and out, and see what happens?Carroll will be surely fiddling with lots of new ideas this week after leaving the field as if fleeing a nightmare."It was kind of, let's just get the clock out of here, and let's get out," Carroll said.Trojans fans must hope that a team like this, on a night like this, never comes back.--Bill Plaschke can be reached at bill.plaschke. What big bat?The Angels' management talks a lot about liking this roster. "If Gary stays on $42.5 million, the season will be canceled," the source said.A cancellation could set off a chain of unpredictable events.
